SBC Summit adds a Compliance Tech conference track for Lisbon 2026

SBC Summit will dedicate a new “Compliance Tech” conference track to the tools operators use to spot threats, fight fraud, and keep up with compliance demands. For PSPs and high-risk merchants, the useful part is obvious: the agenda is focused on where technology actually affects approvals, fraud rates, and market-entry risk.

1. The Compliance Tech track will take place on Thursday, 1 October 2026, at Feira Internacional de Lisboa. It will bring together operators, technology specialists, compliance and legal experts, plus leaders in fraud, risk management, and cybersecurity.
2. The track sits inside SBC Summit’s Regulation and Compliance stage, alongside Global Regulation on Tuesday 29 September and Player Protection on Wednesday 30 September. In other words, compliance is being treated as a working infrastructure problem, not a side panel.
3. Sessions will cover fraud prevention, strategies for operators entering new markets while dealing with illegal activity, the impact of EUDI wallets and digital identity, and the growing overlap between regulation and cybersecurity.
4. Rasmus Sojmark, founder and CEO of SBC, said that the same technological advances helping operators protect their businesses are also changing the threats they face. He added that simply having more technology is not enough; the question is where it makes a real difference, and the track will focus on that.
5. The opening session, “More players, less risk: maximizing approvals in a regulated environment,” will look at how operators can approve more legitimate customers without increasing fraud exposure. Speakers include Tom Orton of Rank Group, Tim De Borle of Casumo, Liesbeth Oost of JVH Gaming and Entertainment, and moderator Ana Pamplona of AMIG.
6. Another session, “New markets incoming: what are the compliance challenges?”, will address the problems operators face when entering new markets. Speakers include Miguel Luis of LeBull, Sissel Weitzhandler of EGARA, Ian Perrygrove of Kwiff, Raymond Wilson of Midnite, and moderator Thees Buschman of Chevron Group.

For high-risk operators, the practical angle is the mix of approval optimization, fraud control, identity tooling, and market-entry compliance. That is the part that usually decides whether a payments setup scales cleanly or starts leaking volume into blocked transactions, false positives, and regulatory friction.
