The Canadian Gaming Summit 2025 will spotlight the fast-moving world of payments and regulatory oversight with a dedicated Payments & Compliance track, offering a practical deep dive into the future of transactions, trust, and technology.
Held on Thursday, 19 June at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the track will explore how the gaming industry is adapting to meet evolving expectations around player convenience, regulatory obligations, and the integration of emerging technologies.Β
Covering topics from AML audits and digital wallets to crypto and prediction markets, the sessions will equip delegates with actionable insights on managing compliance while improving the player experience.
Rasmus Sojmark, Founder and CEO of SBC, said: βPayments and compliance might not always grab the headlines, but they underpin everything in this industryβfrom a customerβs experience to regulatory viability. This track is about showing how innovation and integrity can go hand in hand
The track will kick off with Payment Leaders Panel: Tech in 2025, a session that brings together leading voices in payments technology to explore how the industry can bridge the gap between traditional payment preferences and a fast-moving digital landscape. Sereena Boparai (Chief Revenue Officer, Paramount Commerce), Vanessa Hartwick (Senior Manager, Business Development, Interac), Dan Evans (CFO, Betty) and Daniel Whiteley (CTO, Bede Gaming), will share how providers and operators can introduce new tools in a way that earns player loyalty and ensures no customer is left behind.
In AML: Collective Action, experts will examine the need to bring Canadaβs anti-money laundering landscape into the 21st century ahead of Novemberβs Financial Action Task Force review. Kevin de Bruyckere (Director, AML & Investigations, BCLC), Dave Foppert (Vice President, AML Officer, DraftKings), Rebecca Ip (Partner, KPMG), Mondiu Jaiyesimi (AML Regulatory Compliance & Forensics, MNP), Scott Hutchinson (Partner, Henein Hutchison Robitaille LLP), and Dr. Ian Messenger (CEO & Founder, ACGCS) will discuss how the industry can move beyond siloed efforts and work collectively to strengthen national compliance standards.
The Payments & Compliance track is one of several focused content streams at the Canadian Gaming Summit, alongside dedicated tracks on Sports Betting & Casino, Cybersecurity, Affiliates & Advertising, Leaders, and a dedicated Player Protection Symposium.
