iGaming Daily continues its Road to Lisbon series, a collection of podcasts featuring industry leaders who will help shape the upcoming SBC Summit in Lisbon.
In today’s episode, SBC's Media Manager, Fernando Noodt, is joined by Bernardo Oliveira Neves, Secretary General of the Portuguese Online Betting and Gambling Association (APAJO). Together, they examine Portugal's market performance, noting a recent slowdown in growth despite previously record-breaking figures.
The discussion focuses on the illegal market, identified as the biggest threat to Portuguese businesses, consumers, and the state. Studies show that over 40% of Portuguese consumers gamble on unlicensed betting platforms.
Although Portugal’s taxation model is progressive, a complete overhaul could risk doing more harm than good. Bernardo argues that Portugal could become a “flag bearer” for the industry in Europe if the right balance is struck among all stakeholders.
Bernardo will also be moderating the “Portugal: Smooth Sailing or Danger Ahead?” panel at this year’s SBC Summit in Lisbon, where he will explore the country’s iCasino growth, the contraction of sports betting, and broader market dynamics , including the ongoing challenge of unsafe gambling.
Could there be a backlash looming on the horizon for Portuguese operators??

In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, SBC Media Managing Editor Jessica Welman is joined by International Masters of Gaming Law (IMGL) President and Jones Walker partner Marc Dunbar and they tackle the legal mess that is Kalshi sports contracts.
Dunbar gives his tips on which courts to pay attention to and offers an idea of just how long this legal battle is going to stretch on. With four active court cases and two of those in the appeals courts, there is a lot to break down, but Dunbar clears the signal from the noise and offers his insight on what judges will focus on and why the PASPA repeal is a good case to use to benchmark expectations.

In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, Fernando Noodt Molins, Media Manager at SBC, is joined by Damian Martinez, Business Journalist at SBC Noticias, and Tom Nightingale, Senior Business Journalist at Canadian Gaming Business/SBC Americas, to unpack the growing debate around gambling advertising and promotional restrictions.
The conversation focuses on Spain’s latest push to reintroduce limits on welcome bonuses, despite a previous Supreme Court ruling overturning similar measures.
The trio discuss whether these restrictions are truly aimed at player protection or driven more by political motives, especially given the industry's significant investment in marketing.
They also explore how other regions, particularly across the Americas, are approaching similar issues, and what these developments could mean for the future of iGaming marketing strategies.
Tune in to hear expert insights on the evolving world of gambling advertising, the clash between regulation and marketing, and what the future holds for iGaming across the globe. Whether you’re in the industry or just curious about the impact of these changes, this episode is a must-listen.

In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, Fernando Noodt Molins, Media Manager for SBC, is joined by Insider Sport business journalist Kieran O'Connor, and iGaming Expert's Christian Lee, as they dissect the Premier League’s landmark ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships, set to take effect from the 2026/27 season. This self-imposed restriction by clubs aims to pre-empt stricter government legislation.
The guys discuss how gambling brands might adapt their strategies, explore the economic impact on clubs, and debate if other sectors like fintech and crypto will fill the void left by betting brands, who often paid above fair market value.
The discussion also covers the broader European context, where gambling sponsorship remains significant, and questions the effectiveness of domestic bans when international competitions still feature betting sponsors. Finally, Christian and Kieran touch on the unlikely adoption of similar bans in other sports due to smaller market sizes, and the creative ways UK football teams will continue their partnerships by shifting sponsorships to other kit areas.
Let iGaming Daily guide you through football's evolving commercial landscape!
