Our events provide a relaxed environment where people from across the sport betting, gaming and payment industries can have fun, focus on learning, network safely and do business. And we’d love to keep it that way! That’s why we’ve created an explicit Code of Conduct to ensure that you (our awesome attendees) are aligned with our mission too.
CODE OF CONDUCT
CODE OF CONDUCT
While we love to see you network, mingle and make new friends (after all, that’s what our events are all about!), we want to make sure that you do so respectfully. Every attendee, speaker and staff member deserves to have the best time possible – free from aggro, discrimination or unwanted attention. All attendees, organisers, exhibitors and volunteers, are therefore expected to adhere to the following Code of Conduct throughout our events.
Our Code of Conduct (in a nutshell):
Our Code of Conduct (in a nutshell):
SBC is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone (regardless of gender, background, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion). We do not tolerate harassment of conference attendees, speakers or staff members in any form.
All communication, including any social media posts concerning the event, should be appropriate for an audience of professionals from across the industries we serve.
We want to make sure you have a good time but sexist, racist or exclusionary jokes of any nature are not appropriate for SBC (and will be met with serious action, not amusement).
If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, event organisers retain the right to take any actions necessary to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference [with no refund].
The Long Version (Incl. Who You Should Report Incidents to):
The Long Version (Incl. Who You Should Report Incidents to):
Harassment includes (but is not limited to): offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age and religion. Harassment also includes displaying sexual images in public spaces, intimidation, threats and demands, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in a behaviour that violates this Code of Conduct, event organisers may take any actions they deem appropriate (including a verbal warning or expulsion) to maintain a friendly and safe environment for all participants.
How Attendees Can Report Incidents:
If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. We want you to be happy at our event.
Contact a Staff Member – approach a staff member, member of security or the Duty Officer:
Telephone: +442039837051. This phone number will be continuously monitored for the duration of the event and complaints will be responded to ASAP.
Email: [email protected]
If Your Safety is Threatened – if there is any threat to attendees or the safety of anyone, including conference staff, if in doubt, venue security may be called.
The event organisers will take the following steps:
- The Alleged Harasser Will be Approached.
- The alleged harasser will be communicated with and made aware of the report made against them.
- They will be given the chance to tell their side of the story.
- They will then be made aware of any of the actions that may be taken against them. This may include (but is not limited to): providing a warning (verbal or written), requesting that the harasser cease interacting with the victim and maintain appropriate physical distance at all times, disallowing speakers who violate the Code of Conduct to speak at future SBC events, requesting that the harasser leave immediately and do not return, expulsion from the event and/or barring from attending future events.
