The CSR Breakfast of INFOPLAY and E-Gaming Spain advanced in Spain the AI that has now conquered the SBC First Pitch

The SBC First Pitch 2026 has just crowned GMONITOR in Lisbon, but for a significant part of the Spanish industry the winning technology was not unknown.

On June 25, the Working Breakfast on Corporate Social Responsibility and Responsible Gaming, organized within the framework of the Responsible Gaming and CSR Awards and sponsored by E-Gaming Spain Online, allowed operators, regulators, suppliers and professionals in the sector to learn live and for the first time in Spain about GMONITOR's technology.

It was at Casino Gran Vía COMAR, in Madrid.

And what we then presented as one of the most innovative proposals that were coming to online gambling has just received an international validation of enormous weight in Lisbon: GMONITOR has won the SBC First Pitch 2026 against Betsy, InsightPlay.ai, Safefy and Whizgen AI. SBC Events

The Breakfast, held under the slogan "Two speeds, one responsibility", brought together innovation, regulation, security and social responsibility around the same table to analyse issues that were already transforming the sector: predictive markets, the regulatory differences between face-to-face and online gambling and, especially, the possibilities opened up by artificial intelligence.

Hakon Magnusson, COO of GMONITOR, was there, showing professionals directly how a platform designed so that operators and suppliers can know what is happening in their competitive markets without depending on endless manual processes works.

The tool allows monitoring promotions, bonuses, game catalogs and launches, application rankings, suppliers, advertising, social networks, acquisition and regulatory movements, among other variables, and converting all that flow of information into competitive intelligence usable by the operator's teams.

It was not an isolated demonstration within a fair.

Attendees had the opportunity to see the tool, listen directly to its managers and ask questions, within a small forum in which some of the main public and private interlocutors of the Spanish industry were present.

The meeting included, among others, Ramón Cubián, head of Gaming of the Community of Madrid and technical moderator; David Calvete, from the National Police; Jorge Hinojosa, CEO of Jdigital; and Hakon Magnusson, along with representatives of operators, manufacturers, associations and technology companies.

INFOPLAY later published the video summary of the meeting and expressly highlighted the exclusive presentation of GMONITOR, within a day whose impact among the attending professionals made the Breakfast one of the most commented sectoral forums of those days.

Three months later, the scenario has changed.

The technology that the Spanish professionals were able to examine in Madrid has travelled to Las Vegas, has entered international innovation programmes and has just won in Lisbon over four startups specialising in AI, engagement, fraud prevention, compliance and social prediction.

The jury of the SBC First Pitch, made up of specialists in investment, venture capital and gaming technology, chose GMONITOR as the winner and awarded it a package of resources valued at 139,400 euros to accelerate its next stage of growth.

For E-Gaming Spain Online, which opted to bring this technology closer to the Spanish sector when it was still taking its first major international steps, the result now takes on a special dimension.

And also for the CSR and Responsible Gaming Working Breakfasts.

Because that June morning a new artificial intelligence tool was not simply presented. Spanish operators were able to meet, test and ask directly about a technology that only a few months later has become the winner of the great international startup competition of the SBC Summit.

What we saw in Madrid as a proposal with enormous potential has just made history in Lisbon.

GMONITOR is no longer just a promising AI for online gambling operators. It is the winner of the SBC First Pitch 2026.
