A record number of visitors attended the Betting on Sports conference at the Olympia Conference Centre in London earlier this month, with organisers reporting a 100 per cent increase in registrations since the inaugural 2016 event.

Betting on Sports the biggest yet

The total of 1,300 registrants was also a 30 per cent increase on the Betting on Football event, which took place at Stamford Bridge, London, earlier in the year.

Organiser SBC Events said that more than 140 operators were represented, along with 100 suppliers, 75 leading affiliates and 75 sports club executives.

SBC managing director Andrew McCarron said: “The record level of attendance for Betting on Sports 2017 is testament to the growth of SBC Events and the support we receive from the entire sports betting industry.

“We were delighted to combine a lively exhibition area with the most comprehensive agenda the sector has ever seen. The hugely positive reception has given us great confidence in our planning for both next year’s event and the biggest ever Betting on Football, from March 20-23.”
