What Global Wizards won at the SBC Awards 2023
Global Wizards received the Rising Star in Casino Silver Award at the SBC Awards 2023, presented on 2 November at the Terrace Ballroom, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
A panel of judges recognised leaders who had brought a cutting-edge approach to iGaming over the year. For our team the recognition reflects the commitment the company has made to finding new solutions for clients in the casino betting world — and in a competitive marketplace it is an achievement we want to share with the clients who made it possible.
What the SBC Awards are
The SBC Awards recognise the work companies in the gaming and betting field have carried out consistently through the year. Industry leaders use the ceremony to share what they have learned in a field that keeps changing under them.
The awards are divided into categories including Payment and Compliance, Affiliate and Media, and Operator and Supplier, among others. Each category is designed to highlight a different sector contributing to the industry’s success, and the ceremony gives leaders and companies a place to build the relationships that follow.
The panel Wizards moderated at the SBC Summit Latinoamérica 2023
Fernando Polti, Global Wizards’ CEO, moderated the panel on the future of eSports at the SBC Summit Latinoamérica 2023. He was joined by Diego Foresi, CEO of Infinity Esports, Fernando Diez, CEO of Leviatan Esports, and Angel Calderón, Head of Sales LATAM and Iberia at SIS.
This was not the company’s first turn on an SBC panel. At the Latin American edition in 2022 we spoke about the presence of the Hispanic population in this growing market, and about why localisation decides whether a product lands there at all.
