In the penultimate episode of iGaming Daily live from SBC Summit Lisbon, James Ross is joined by Kieran O’Connor and Christian Lee, Business Journalists for Insider Sport and Gambling TV respectively, just hours after skateboarding icon Tony Hawk was interviewed live on the MEO Super Stage by Laura Woods.

The trio discuss the best moments from the keynote which spanned Hawk’s early career, the building of his brand through partnership and entrepreneurship and how he’s stayed relevant through reinvention beyond the end of his professional skating career. They also consider what the industry could learn from Hawk’s story, including how to develop brand longevity and why authenticity should be a priority for marketing.

After a short break, the attention turns to the rest of the event and Kieran and Christian recap some of the panel sessions they have already attended as well as looked ahead to the rest of the summit.

iGaming Daily is once again brought to you live from the SBC Summit Lisbon. Host James Ross was joined by Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas, and Payment Expert’s Senior Journalist to recap a busy first day at the event.

In the first half of the show, Jess brings us the latest from the ongoing legal battle between Aristocrat and Light & Wonder. Earlier this week, The Nevada District Court ordered Light & Wonder to pull its DragonTrain slot game pending a final ruling in a trade secret case that centres around the accusation that Light & Wonder orchestrated a campaign to copy Dragon Link through the hiring of former Aristocrat executives and game designers.

After a short break, the show’s attention then turns to the SBC Summit itself and Callum recaps what he learned from the payments-specific panels he attended on day one, particularly focusing on the role that crypto may play in peer-to-peer transactions.

Earlier this month, X, formerly Twiter, was banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country. The row between Brazil and X initially began in April when the platform, and its founder Elon Musk, refused to follow a judge’s ruling to suspend dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation. 

And this will be the topic for the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove. Host Joe Streeter, Editor of Casinobeats, is joined by Fernando Noodt and Isadora Marcante from the SBC Noticias team to delve deeper into the implications of Brazil’s X prohibition.

The trio discuss the significance of the ban, X’s current role in gambling advertising and how this may change following the ban, as well as what this means for the future of social media marketing across other platforms.

Finally, they consider how the ban will impact the growth of the Brazilian gaming landscape given that we are now just months away from the opening of the regulated online gaming market in the country.
