The ‘Sports Betting’ conference track at SBC Summit North America will gather some of the top luminaries in the industry to share their thoughts on the latest sports betting trends, innovative technologies, and the evolving North American sports betting landscape.
The dedicated track will unfold on May 8th-9th, the two core days of the leading iGaming & sports betting event in North America, which is set to host 5,000 attendees at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in New Jersey
The comprehensive track will provide delegates with the opportunity to bolster their educational prowess on key topics such as forging successful operator-league partnerships, exploring the emerging technology set to innovate the sports betting market, the intricate world of media partnerships, and much more.
Opening the first day of the conference track is the panel titled “The Bright Side of Betting: Product Innovation Incoming,” which will explore the expansion strategies employed by operators through new cutting-edge technology. Expert speakers David Senior (Head of Sportsbook, Betsson), Tomer Imber (Senior Director of Sales, Optimove), Joey Levy (CEO, Betr), Scot McClintic (Chief Product Officer, Fanatics Betting and Gaming) and Tim Whitehead (Head of Sportsbook, Rush Street Interactive), will discuss how player-focused augmented experiences can attract new audiences and will explore methods operators can adopt to maintain relevance in this rapidly evolving industry landscape.
The female-led panel, titled “Women’s World Cup in the Spotlight: How Operators Seized Opportunities From the Rising Popularity of Women’s Sports in 2023”, aims to dissect the notable surge in sports betting on women’s sports over the past year. Experts Nicole Pawlak (Senior Director, Special Projects, Athletes Unlimited), Meghan Chayka (Co-Founder, Stathletes), Nancy Hensley (Founding Member, Mercury13), and Jennifer Matthews (Vice President, Brand Strategy, FanDuel), will delve into the strategies employed by operators to capitalize on the growing interest in women’s sports and will examine the essential factors surrounding audience engagement in betting on women’s sports.
The conference’s track’s second day opens with the panel titled “DFS 2.0 – Skill Game or Just Sports Betting With Another Name? How Regulators are Responding,” which will delve into the ongoing debate over whether daily fantasy sports (DFS) primarily involve skill or luck. Esteemed figures Julie Brown (Vice Chairman and Inaugural Chairman, Florida Gaming Control Commission), Derek Schmidt (Partner, Husch Blackwell), Nick Green (General Counsel at Underdog Fantasy), and panel moderator Daniel Wallach (Partner, Wallach Legal) will examine diverse perspectives on the skill versus luck argument, evaluate the future trajectory of DFS regulation, and analyze its broader implications for the industry.
The panel “What Does Regulated Betting on Video Games Look Like?” will focus on the intricacies of regulating virtual gameplay across North America. Industry experts Brett Abarbanel (Ph.D., Executive Director, UNLV International Gaming Institute), Michelle Sadaf-Pena (Executive Director of PMO and Gaming Operations, Wondr Nation), Barbara Demarco (Vice President, Porzio Governmental Affairs, LLC), Seth Schorr (CEO, Fifth Street Gaming), Michele Fischer (Vice President, SIS Content Services, Inc.) and panel moderator Anthony Gaud (Founder, Esports Illustrated) will explore the potential for increased revenue as new audiences are reached. They will also consider the compliance measures necessary to ensure continued healthy, legal growth for stakeholders.
Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC, said: “Since the regulation of sports betting in 2018, an impressive 38 states now offer sports betting in some form, which is an amazing achievement. Couple that with the emergence of new sports betting technologies, products, and services, the sports betting track provides a unique opportunity to explore innovative strategies, regulatory updates, and market trends shaping the future of sports wagering.
We believe that by hosting the sports betting conference track across both core days of the event, we will be able to provide delegates with comprehensive discussions encompassing every major development within the sports betting landscape, ensuring they are equipped to capitalize on one of the most exciting verticals in the market.”
Alongside the ‘Sports Betting’ track, delegates will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of the North American market through the dedicated conference tracks such as the ‘Leaders’, ‘iGaming’, ‘Affiliates & Marketing’, ‘Tribal Symposium’, ‘Payments & Tech’ and the ‘Compliance & Regulation’ conference tracks.

DiffusionData Releases Diffusion 6.11

Community feedback has major impact on new enhancements in latest version of Diffusion
DiffusionData, the pioneer and leader in real-time data streaming and messaging solutions, today announced the release of Diffusion 6.11. The latest developer-centric enhancements to the framework aim to speed and simplify development, reduce operational costs, and ensure reliable and efficient delivery of real-time data.
Grethe Brown, CEO of DiffusionData, said: “Many of the enhancements we’ve introduced in 6.11 have been driven by an ongoing dialogue with our Diffusion community. It’s important for us to understand the evolving requirements of our clients and address those when introducing improvements to our framework. The enhancements reflect some of the daily challenges faced by developers and are intended to improve operational productivity. The feedback from our amazing customers continues to fuel our innovations in real-time data.”
Enhancements in Diffusion 6.11 include:
Major Improvement in Distributed Update Performance
In previous releases the performance of updates in a clustered environment was significantly slower than that of a single server. With this release, asynchronous operations are applied to bring cluster performance comparable to a single server.
Usage Monitor
In 6.11, a new usage monitoring feature has been introduced. This provides customers with the ability to collect certain usage statistics in files that can then be sent to DiffusionData periodically so that their usage of the framework can be assessed. This allows DiffusionData to have a far better view on how Diffusion is being used and provide customers with feedback on their usage to improve the overall technology experience.
Other enhancements in 6.11 include:
- Cluster-aware Session Event Listener: a new API has been added to replace the previous session properties listener. This brings the ability to listen for events related to sessions across a cluster of servers, as well as new filtering capabilities.
- Topic View Scalar Path Mapping Extension: an enhancement to allow topic views to include parent paths when creating views of the topic tree.
- New ‘Environment’ Session Property: a new fixed session property has been added to provide additional information about connecting clients, and enable more powerful filtering of sessions.
- New ‘Matches’ Comparison for Session Filtering: session filters can now make use of regular expressions for matching sessions.
- Ability to Turn Delta Compression Off for Update Streams: users can now suppress delta generation in update streams. Disabling delta compression can reduce the CPU workload at the client at the cost of increased bandwidth.
- Fetching Topic Sizes: it is now possible to fetch the sizes of topics without transferring the topic payload. Sizes are also displayed in the Diffusion Management Console.
- Diffusion Management Console Improvements: the Diffusion Management Console has had several improvements. These include a new intuitive way to define and manage topic views, and a new structural browser for JSON values.

Altenar releases new Ganagol tool as key differentiator for LatAm markets
![Altenar releases new Ganagol tool as key differentiator for LatAm markets](https://gamingamericas.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/ganagol.jpg)
Altenar, the leading sportsbook and iGaming software supplier, has upgraded its compelling betting tools offering with the introduction of a new Ganagol game.
The latest addition to Altenar’s software is an alternative form of sports betting which boosts engagement and brand loyalty for operators. Rather than betting on individual events, Ganagol allows players to pay an entry fee for the chance to predict the outcome of a series of events for prizes.
By using the new tool, which is also known as Toto in some parts of the world, players can predict the result of a series of football fixtures, with a clean sweep of correct outcomes winning a large prize, while a specific number of results lands them smaller rewards.
Altenar’s operator partners will also be able to choose the format of the game, including match results or correct scores, to meet their needs, as well as customising the payout structure to allow for weekly prizes or rollover jackpots.
A percentage of the entry fee can be added to the category payments, meaning the prize pot increases in line with the number of participants, adding a sense of anticipation as the potential winnings rise. To add further interest, players can also predict the range of goals scored in the same set of fixtures.
This new release serves as a significant differentiator for operators with an eye on global expansion, with the product particularly popular in LatAm.
Dinos Doxiadis, Sportsbook Product Development Manager at Altenar, said: “This is an uplift of a product that has had great adoption in LatAm.
“The new functionalities give our operators more options to increase user engagement, retention and acquisition. We believe that it is by far the most sophisticated tool of its kind across the industry.”
