What Was SBC Summit North America 2024?
SBC Summit North America 2024 was a sports betting and iGaming industry conference held in New Jersey, USA, from 7 to 9 May 2024. Organised by the Sports Betting Community (SBC), it brought together sportsbook operators, technology providers, payment firms, and regulators to examine the US sports betting market, gambling technology, and the growing role of crypto payments in the iGaming sector. The official page sat on the SBC Summit North America site. It is an iGaming and sports betting event rather than a crypto conference, but crypto and blockchain payments feature significantly given their prevalence in online betting.
Crypto has become one of the most widely used payment methods on sports betting platforms. To follow crypto and fintech gatherings, see CoinGabbar's crypto events calendar and our digital asset events list.
Key Themes at SBC Summit North America
The agenda covered the US betting and payments landscape:
- Sports betting regulation state by state.
- Crypto and payment technology in iGaming.
- Technology and platform innovation.
- Media, marketing and customer acquisition.
Crypto payments in betting drew a fintech-adjacent crowd. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Used in US Betting
The United States legalised sports betting at the federal level in 2018, and the market has expanded state by state since. Crypto has become a significant payment method in online betting because it combines fast withdrawals, lower processing fees, and a degree of transaction privacy that players value. Several major US sportsbooks accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for deposits and withdrawals.
From a regulatory standpoint, the intersection of crypto and gambling presents unique questions: both are subject to strict state and federal oversight, and the use of crypto in betting sits at the juncture of two evolving legal frameworks. New Jersey, which was the first state to legalise sports betting after the federal ruling, remains a key regulatory laboratory for the sector. The 2025 GENIUS Act's stablecoin framework and the broader US crypto regulatory clarity are also relevant, since stablecoins are an increasingly attractive payment rail for betting platforms.
