SBC Summit 2026 has added a dedicated Global Payment Compliance track to its Lisbon programme, targeting the tension between tighter AML rules and the seamless payment experiences players now expect.
SBC Summit 2026 in Lisbon will feature a Global Payment Compliance track on 30 September, covering AML innovation, fraud prevention, and regulatory change. The track requires a Business or VIP Pass and includes sessions on African markets, AI, and Europe’s AMLA rollout.
SBC Summit 2026 has unveiled a Global Payment Compliance track for its Lisbon conference on 30 September. The dedicated stream joins Fintech and Crypto & Blockchain sessions on the Payment Expert Summit stage. Rasmus Sojmark, SBC’s founder and CEO, framed the addition as a response to an industry-wide dilemma. “Payment compliance has become one of the industry’s biggest balancing acts,” he said. “Operators are expected to strengthen fraud prevention, AML controls and regulatory oversight, while at the same time delivering the fast, seamless payment experiences that players demand.” The track targets operators, payment providers, compliance officers, legal experts, and technology vendors. It runs across the three-day event from 29 September to 1 October at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena. SBC expects 40,000 attendees. Access to the payment compliance sessions requires a Business or VIP Pass.
Global Payment Compliance Track Sessions
The track opens with “AML in Motion: Continuous Monitoring in Modern Gaming.” Luis Carlos Pérez of Lottofy, Gintarė Wycherley of SEON, James Boyles of Evoke, and Carmelo Mazza of Betaland/Enjoybet will join moderator George Rover of Princeton Global Strategies. The panel will examine how automation and intelligent risk detection can tighten AML compliance without adding friction for legitimate players. That is the core tension the track addresses. Africa gets its own spotlight in “Cross-Border Compliance: Navigating AML Across African Markets.” Maruf Lawal of MOKO Afrika and Adenike Oyebamiji of Velex Group, moderated by Maleek Oyiza of Tradabets, will tackle the regulatory patchwork across the continent. Mobile money and alternative payment solutions are driving growth, but each jurisdiction sets its own compliance bar. Data privacy rounds out the agenda. “How Much Is Too Much Data?” features James Myles of Dragonbet, Miguel Godinho of Betclic Group, and Vana Demetriou of ZENOBET, with Jochen Biewer of Chevron Group moderating. The session will explore how operators can collect enough data for compliance without breaching evolving data protection rules. Additional panels cover AML readiness for emerging game formats, prediction markets and AI, and preparation for AMLA’s full European rollout.
Networking and Access for Compliance Professionals
SBC has added structured networking for the compliance crowd. The Compliance Show Floor Tour offers guided introductions to payment compliance exhibitors and their latest solutions. That is a practical addition. Conference floors can be overwhelming, and compliance officers often struggle to find vendors that match their specific regulatory challenges. The tour solves that by curating the exhibitor list. General conference access comes with Conference, Business, or VIP Passes. However, the payment compliance sessions and networking activities require a Business or VIP Pass. That tiering reflects the track’s specialist audience. Sojmark’s second quote cut to the point: “Success isn’t about choosing between compliance and customer experience; it’s about getting both right.” The Lisbon programme is designed to show how. For compliance teams navigating post-UKGC FRA uncertainty, tighter AUSTRAC scrutiny, or Africa’s fragmented regulatory landscape, the track offers a consolidated view of where payment compliance is heading.
