SBC Summit Malta 2025 brought together leading voices shaping the future of the global gaming industry, and GamingMalta was proud to play an active role throughout this year’s edition, from keynote sessions to industry discussions and networking on the exhibition floor.
At the heart of the event was a simple idea: progress begins with asking the right questions. Across the conference stages, experts explored key challenges defining the sector’s next chapter, from casino innovation and regulation to the role of AI and the evolving future of esports betting.
GamingMalta CEO Ivan Filletti delivered a keynote on what it takes to secure Malta’s future as a home for world-class gaming. He highlighted that success requires long-term vision, genuine collaboration between industry and government, and an honest look at where the country stands versus where it aims to be by 2050, what he called a relentless approach.
His address traced Malta’s journey through initiatives like Make it in Malta, outlining how companies, events, and collective efforts have strengthened the island’s reputation as a responsible and forward-looking iGaming hub. He also linked the sector’s progress to Envision 2050, Malta’s national strategic plan focused on sustainable growth across key areas such as energy, esports, skills development, and digital infrastructure.
Ivan also offered attendees a preview of the upcoming GamingMalta Manifesto, a series of industry pledges developed with key stakeholders to further support transparency, collaboration, and long-term competitiveness.
Throughout the Summit, GamingMalta joined the Malta Gaming Authority at Stand C170, meeting with operators, investors, and regulators to discuss how Malta can continue leading the way in both innovation and regulation.
The exhibition floor offered a close look at the latest developments in online casino and sports betting, featuring over 50 suppliers presenting new video slots, live casino products, payment systems, and marketing tools. Conference sessions across three stages and two workshop rooms provided practical insights on modular platforms, AI, compliance, payments, and responsible marketing.
For GamingMalta, being part of SBC Summit Malta 2025 was another opportunity to strengthen collaboration, share expertise, and reaffirm Malta’s commitment to leading with integrity and innovation as the Home of Gaming Excellence.
