It has been truly an exciting 2017 for the sports betting industry, which – like in the previous years – has a fair share of ups and downs.

In the U.S., the Supreme Court will start hearing New Jersey’s petition to strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 and make sports betting legal in the country.

The industry has also been teased this year by the almost merger of daily fantasy sports giants DraftKings and FanDuel and other waves of company consolidation.

To cap the exciting year in a positive note, SBC will once again recognize the cream of the sports betting industry at the SBC Awards, held on Tuesday 5 December at The Artillery Garden in central London.
