This year, the SBC awards took place in Barcelona while celebrating the best iGaming companies and their tireless efforts to make the online gambling space exceptional. These providers ensure that players constantly have exciting titles to choose from while their teams work toward innovations in iGaming. 

 The Best Software Providers by Category

The best iGaming providers come together at global events like this year's SBC Summit, where they share exciting achievements and innovations for online gambling. This year, the awards took place at the Palau Nacional in Barcelona as the grand finale for the summit. It was a night of luxurious celebration of the industry's top talent.
