Betcris prepares for participation in Sports Betting in Europe 2022 summit

BOSE 2022 (Sports Betting in Europe 2022) will be held in London in a week, offering a targeted opportunity for sports betting operators and industry insiders to discuss changes in the market. Betcris, the leading sports betting operator, has announced its participation. Global Head of Sportsbook Anders Hauberg Nielsen will be a featured speaker at the event.
Organized by SBC, BOSE 2022 will be an opportunity to bring together different experts who will share ideas to improve the sports betting experience. It will take place at Twickenham Stadium in London from June 8 to 9. The event is preceded by a pre-event networking opportunity on June 7, which will be held at Neverland, Fulham Beach.
Ticket purchase includes access to SBC Connect. With this application, it is possible to attend conferences and enjoy other additional benefits.
As it happens every year, BOSE brings together a number of experts to discuss and share the latest on sports betting. This time, the emphasis will be on the changing nature of the industry.
Betcris is already the leading operator in Latin America, and is expanding into Europe through its first offices in Poland. As it does, its sportsbook operations become stronger.
Nielsen will provide expert insight into how the company continues to grow as a speaker in the “Shifting from player acquisition to retention panel” on the morning of June 9. He will appear alongside Smarkets CMO James Lacey, Crocobet Chairman Emur Mikeladze and Sportradar Director Advertising Sales Global Accounts & Africa Rahoul Kille.
The regulation of online games has given regulated bookmakers more access to markets across the globe. In addition, advances in web technology are changing the landscape of affiliate marketing, the personalization of the betting experience, the level of immersion in games and more.
In that sense, BOSE explores these and other topics through panels given by experts in the area of sports betting. During this conference, they will discuss how it will continue to affect the world of sports betting, given the interest in investing in immersive technologies, greater personalization in the betting process and the creation of unique content to satisfy a dynamic generation of bettors.
Throughout the conference, there will be other panels that will address topics in relation to the latest in the industry. However, new technologies will be the theme that starts the conference by their very nature.

Football Season Kicks Off: Arizona Department of Gaming Warns of Gambling Scams and Highlights Consumer Protection Tools

September is Responsible Gaming Education Month, and the Department is reminding fans to play it safe with tools like Check Your Bet, self-exclusion, and the 1-800-NEXT-STEP helpline.
With the football season underway, the Arizona Department of Gaming (“the Department”) is warning Arizonans about the growing risks of unlicensed online casinos and sportsbooks. September also marks Responsible Gaming Education Month, making this an important time to remind fans that if you choose to play, play it safe by choosing a regulated operator.
Regulated gaming offers important consumer protections, helping ensure fair play, data security, accountability, and a safer overall experience. The Department has seen an increase in consumer complaints about unlicensed gambling operations in recent months, a trend expected to intensify as football season kicks off and the busiest event wagering period of the year begins. Common issues include unfair or misleading terms, difficulty withdrawing winnings, and accounts being frozen without explanation, often after a withdrawal request.
“Responsible Gaming Education Month is the perfect time to remind Arizonans that while legal, regulated gaming options are available to all Arizonans ages 21+, there are also deceptive operators eager to take advantage of fans during football season,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “Unregulated platforms lack responsible gaming safeguards, age verification, and offer no consumer protections, which puts Arizonans at risk. That’s why the Department is promoting resources to give every Arizonan the tools they need to make informed choices and play responsibly.”
To help protect Arizonans, the Department has launched a new Responsible Gaming website and is spotlighting three key resources this month:
- Check Your Bet– If you choose to participate in gaming, opting for legal, regulated operators is the best way to protect yourself. Playing responsibly means knowing your operator is licensed and that you meet Arizona’s legal gaming age of 21+. This online resource helps Arizonans confirm they’re using a legal site, which helps protect against fraud, identity theft, and other risks.
- Self-Exclusion Program– A free, confidential program that allows people to voluntarily limit their access to Arizona’s regulated gaming. The statewide self-exclusion program was established in 2004 for casinos and expanded in 2021 to include retail sportsbooks, event wagering platforms, and fantasy sports platforms. More than 550 Arizonans enrolled in the last fiscal year, and over 11,000 have chosen this option since the program began.
- 1-800-NEXT-STEP – A confidential, 24/7 helpline for anyone seeking support right now, whether for themselves or someone they care about. The helpline connects Arizonans with caring professionals who can provide immediate assistance, low and no-cost treatment referrals, and financial counseling.
These resources, along with more tips and tools, are available at the Department’s new webpage: gaming.az.gov/ResponsibleGaming.
Top 5 Signs of an Unlicensed Gambling Site
The Department urges Arizonans to be cautious and watch for these warning signs that a site or app may be fraudulent or unlicensed:
- No Responsible Gaming Protections – Licensed operators are required to provide responsible gaming tools, including age verification to ensure no one under the age of 21 can play, deposit limits, time limits, self-exclusion options, and access to the 1-800-NEXT-STEP helpline. If you don’t see these tools, it’s a red flag.
- Too-Good-to-Be-True Offers – Promises of “guaranteed wins,” oversized bonuses, or “risk-free” bets are common scam tactics.
- Trouble Getting Paid and No Dispute Resolution – Unregulated sites often delay or deny withdrawals, with little to no process for resolving disputes.
- Unusual Payment Methods – Sites that only accept cryptocurrency, wire transfers, or gift cards instead of secure, standard payment options are a major warning sign.
- Copycat Branding or Poor Site Quality – Some fraudulent sites impersonate legitimate Arizona casinos or sportsbooks, using misspellings, broken links, or look-alike names to trick players into downloading their app or visiting their site.
“Licensed operators in Arizona are required to provide responsible gaming safeguards. When people play on unregulated sites, those protections are missing and people are more vulnerable,” said Elise Mikkelson, Director of the Division of Problem Gambling. “That’s why Arizona’s helpline exists: to ensure every Arizonan has access to the support they need. With more than 11,000 Arizonans choosing to enroll in the state’s self-exclusion program since it began, it’s clear that no one is alone in taking steps to protect themselves. And if you or someone you know is struggling, help is always available.”
How to Report Suspicious Gambling Activity, Fraud, or Identity Theft:
Arizonans who believe they may have encountered an unlicensed or suspicious gambling site are encouraged to report it directly to the Arizona Department of Gaming. Reports help the Department investigate and take action to protect consumers statewide. If you find a website, app, or business that claims to offer legal gaming in Arizona but does not appear to be licensed or authorized by the Department, follow these steps:
- Document the website URL, app, business name, and any promotional materialsassociated with the platform or operator.
- Report itto ADG at publicaffairs@azgaming.gov and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office Consumer Information and Complaints Unit at (602) 542-5763 or by visiting azag.gov/consumer.
- Cease activity on the platform and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions.
- If you suspect identity theft, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”): for help in English, go to IdentityTheft.gov, and for help in Spanish, go to RobodeIdentidad.gov.
The Department takes complaints about all illegal gambling seriously. Reports can be made anonymously.
