SBC starts accepting applications for the third edition of the SBC Awards North America
YES Network Yankees Clubhouse reporter Meredith Maravokitz will return to host the highly-anticipated SBC Awards North America ceremony, an event that recognizes and celebrates excellence in the sports betting and iGaming industry.
Set to take place in New York City on May 11, the lavish ceremony will take place on the final day of the SBC Summit North America, the premier industry event in the United States.
Event organizer SBC has announced the opening of the nominations process (January 12) that will last until Friday, February 17. Companies working in the sports betting and iGaming sectors in the United States and Canada are eligible to apply for the awards. There are 30 award categories, including three separate categories celebrating Tribal operators, regulators and leaders, suitable for companies of all sizes — operators, affiliates and suppliers — from major international brands to new market entrants.
An independent panel of expert judges will review the submissions and determine the shortlists and winners.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “The sports betting and iGaming industry in North America is filled with opportunities and challenges for companies of all sizes. With a constantly evolving market, both established players and new entrants must navigate a landscape full of opportunities and obstacles.
“The SBC Awards North America 2023 is a chance to recognize and honor those who have thrived in the face of uncertainty, outperforming their competitors through their exceptional services as B2B or B2C companies.
“We are excited to host operator, affiliate, and supplier guests at this year’s awards ceremony and provide a night full of networking and valuable connections.”
