1xBet will be present with two booths at SBC Summit, running September 29 to October 1 in Lisbon, with an expected 35,000 industry professionals and around 800 exhibitors. The presence includes a 1xBet and PSG collaboration with Mamadou Sakho appearing on September 30 and Simon Westbury joining the Africa discussion. Digital tools don’t replace hearing the market directly and building trust.
SCCG Take — Operators should treat exhibitions as deliberate intelligence and partnership instruments, not optional travel. Targeted booth execution and session participation convert scale into actionable regulatory and commercial insight.
Global iGaming operators maintain physical exhibition strategies alongside digital operations. 1xBet will occupy two booths at SBC Summit, running September 29 to October 1 in Lisbon, according to Focus Gaming News. The event anticipates 35,000 industry professionals and around 800 exhibitors.
Data platforms deliver transaction volumes and traffic metrics but omit contextual drivers behind regulatory shifts or regional player behaviour differences. SBC Summit assembles operators, regulators, suppliers and affiliates in one location, enabling direct exchanges that reports cannot replicate. Sessions such as the Regulatory Gaming Meet-Ups and the “The Africa Advantage: High Growth, Fast Regulation, Huge Potential” panel on the Global & Emerging Markets Stage illustrate this dynamic.
Simon Westbury, 1xBet Strategic Advisor, will participate in the Africa-focused discussion alongside experts examining mobile-first approaches, regulatory developments and payment solutions. The session offers 1xBet a platform to share international market experience while absorbing real-time perspectives from one of the sector’s fastest-evolving regions. This format compresses months of separate outreach into three concentrated days.
Exhibitions also accelerate relationship development that underpins affiliate growth. 1xBet’s 1xPartners program already connects with over 500,000 partners worldwide, providing lifetime commissions of up to 50%, automatic weekly payouts, over 250 payment methods and dedicated account managers. The SBC Summit presence, including the B816 booth dedicated to the 1xBet and PSG collaboration, features themed decoration, co-branded merchandise, football activities and hostesses.
Mamadou Sakho, a PSG Legend, appears at the booth on September 30 for direct audience interaction. The brand further extends its reach as a partner of the SBC Leaders Dinner and the SBC Summit Opening Party. These elements convert digital reach into tangible trust and faster deal cycles that remote tools have yet to duplicate.
The source concludes that digital infrastructure supplies speed and scale yet leaves specific functions—nuanced listening, trust formation and trend observation—best addressed through in-person presence. For operators balancing both channels, targeted exhibition participation remains a calculated complement rather than a legacy cost.
