12:04 pm – 12:10 pm | AI and Deep Learning in Modern iGaming: Algorithmic Architecture for Integrity, Efficiency and Sustainability by Juan Lopez Banic, Executive Chairman of Thenekton

Regulated iGaming operates as a complex socio-technical system that integrates human behavior, financial dynamics, regulation, and real-time technology.

This talk explores how artificial intelligence and deep learning enable the construction of advanced layers of observability, prediction, and optimization, strengthening operational integrity, player protection, and the strategic efficiency of operators in regulated markets. Far from being an isolated tool, AI is consolidating itself as core infrastructure of modern iGaming.

12:10 pm – 12:25 pm | Sofi: Your Next AI Agent for Customer Support. Isidro Pasman, ZENT

Customer support in casinos faces three challenges that no human team can solve on its own: 24/7 availability, consistency in every interaction, and scalability during peak demand. Artificial intelligence agents are changing that equation. In this talk, we analyze how they work in practice, which processes they automate, how much they save, and how they integrate into a real casino operation — without friction and without replacing the team, but rather empowering it.
