Nominations are open until 10 September, with the shortlists and winners to be decided by an independent panel of expert judges. 

Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: “Companies from across the sports betting and online casino sectors have displayed great innovation, creativity and commitment to customer service over the past 12 months. 

“The SBC Awards 2021 is an opportunity to recognise and reward the international industry’s best operators, affiliates, and platform, content, technology and payments suppliers for their outstanding performance during what has been a very difficult period for everyone.” 

Sojmark added: “It’s exciting to be returning to Evolution London, which staged such a fantastic occasion for the SBC Awards 2019, and we’re looking forward to welcoming 800 people from across the industry for what promises to be another great night of networking and socialising.”
