SBC Summit Malta to spotlight Italy, Germany, UK, and more in new regulatory sessions

The expo will take place on June 10-12, at the InterContinental Hotel in St. Julian’s.

Press release.- As Europe’s regulatory landscape continues to evolve, SBC Summit Malta 2025 will equip delegates with the latest market insights and regulatory strategies through the dedicated “Europe: Regulation & Compliance” track.

Taking place on Wednesday, June 11, at the InterContinental Hotel in St. Julian’s, the regulatory-focused track will feature six distinct discussions, delivering expert-led insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping regulatory strategies across key European jurisdictions.

The organisers said: “Europe is home to a diverse array of unique markets, each featuring distinct regulatory frameworks. For those operating in this diverse landscape, staying informed on the latest regulatory developments is essential for success. That’s why we’ve introduced a dedicated track focused entirely on regulation—essential for anyone looking to expand into new markets, stay ahead of compliance trends, and gain a deeper understanding of how legal and regulatory frameworks are evolving across the region. It’s designed to give European stakeholders the clarity and foresight they need to thrive in an increasingly complex environment.”

Delegates can anticipate discussions encompassing key European markets such as Italy, Germany, and the UK, delve into jurisdictional challenges in Malta and Curaçao, and examine the damaging impact of black markets.

The track will also provide a comprehensive breakdown of two key licensing jurisdictions evolving their regulatory frameworks. The session “Malta Gaming Authority 2025/2026: Building a Sustainable Gaming Future” will examine Malta’s push to strengthen compliance, AML measures, safer gambling practices, and player protection—while also addressing the impact of Bill No. 55. The session “Curaçao’s New LOK Licensing Framework: Six Months In, What’s Next?” will be an open Ask Me Anything-style session and explore how operators are adapting to Curaçao’s new framework, with a focus on cryptocurrency, responsible gambling, and building long-term regulatory credibility.

Offering a global perspective on how evolving regulatory frameworks are shaping markets and influencing operator strategies is the session, “Black, Grey, and New Regulated Markets: Navigating the Shifting Regulatory Landscape”. Panellists will explore how companies are adapting to ongoing regulatory changes in the Netherlands, Philippines, Brazil, New Zealand, and Finland, while also addressing the risks posed by regulatory uncertainty.
