SBC Events announced on Thursday that it has signed a tripartite agreement with the International Association of Gaming Regulators and the International Masters of Gaming Law that will foster collaboration on regulatory education in igaming across SBC’s events and media properties over the next three years.
IAGR is the leading global organization of gaming regulators directed and governed exclusively by regulatory authorities. IMGL is a global gaming industry network of specialist lawyers, regulators, and other professional advisors.
SBC provides international events, media, and content serving the worldwide gaming industry.
“Regulation has never been more important to how companies in our sector do business, and an ever-changing regulatory landscape makes compliance ever more difficult,” SBC Founder & CEO Rasmus Sojmark said in a statement. “This is why I’m proud to team up with IAGR and IMGL to give SBC’s audience the very best information on how the laws are changing across the world.”
The agreement intends to enhance regulatory education, international cooperation, and knowledge exchange through conferences, events, and related content initiatives. The parties intend to collaborate on developing educational content, including interviews, commentary, podcasts, and publications that address regulatory issues.
“A key opportunity for the world’s gambling regulators is maintaining regular engagement with all parts of the global industry in order to educate and exchange views with businesses on changing rules and laws in our sector,” said IAGR President Ben Haden. “This collaborative partnership with SBC and IMGL will make communication between stakeholders so much easier and ensure we are able to raise the bar on standards.”
A major project planned for 2026 is a full schedule of regulatory meetups introduced at the SBC Summit in Lisbon, September 29-October 1. This will allow stakeholders to achieve up-to-the-minute news on many gambling markets around the globe.
“This is the perfect collaboration to keep the industry educated about what is allowed and what is not in global jurisdictions,” said IMGL President Marc Dunbar. “IMGL’s network of igaming lawyers, combined with IAGR’s regulator members, and SBC’s industry reach and extensive content portfolio, is a powerful way to keep the industry informed about the latest changes.”
