The upcoming SBC Summit Americas is set to place a strong spotlight on regulatory challenges shaping the future of the North American gaming sector. As compliance becomes a critical factor in market expansion, the event will introduce a dedicated North American Regulation and Compliance track aimed at helping industry stakeholders better understand and navigate evolving legal frameworks.
Scheduled for June 11, 2026, the program will bring together key operators, regulators, and compliance experts to discuss the increasing complexity of regulations across the region. With gaming laws rapidly evolving at the state level, businesses are under growing pressure to align innovation with strict compliance requirements.
A central theme of the discussions will be the emergence of unregulated gaming formats and how authorities and operators are responding. Sessions will also explore the delicate balance between technological advancement and regulatory responsibility, highlighting the need for proactive compliance strategies in a competitive landscape.
According to Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, the industry must rethink its approach to regulation. He emphasized that compliance should no longer be treated as a limitation but as a strategic foundation for growth. By integrating regulatory considerations early in business planning, companies can unlock new opportunities while minimizing risks.
One of the key sessions, titled “Regulators Rising: How Oversight Is Shaping North American Gaming,” will delve into how operators are adapting to tighter regulatory oversight. Industry leaders such as Will Griffiths, Lee Terfloth, and Dawn H Himel will share insights into navigating complex compliance environments.
The panel will examine how evolving iGaming frameworks and emerging formats like prediction markets are influencing product strategies and risk management approaches. It will also address how compliance teams are balancing commercial goals with increasing regulatory scrutiny while striving to remain competitive.
As North America continues to tighten its regulatory landscape, SBC Summit Americas aims to equip industry professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to turn compliance into a competitive advantage rather than a barrier to growth.
