Press release.- Soft2Bet announced that during the SBC Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 26, the founder and CEO, Uri Poliavich, won the SBC Awards Leader of the Year, a leading event organizer and publisher in the iGaming industry. Considered one of the most prestigious awards in the gaming sector, Poliavich was selected for this award for his exceptional leadership, passion for innovation, and dedication to philanthropy.
Uri Poliavich's leadership has been at the core of Soft2Bet's innovative spirit since he founded the company in 2016.

The National Lottery of Charity authorities delivered the contributions from the third quarter to the General Directorate of Revenues.
Panama.- The general director of Revenues of Panama, Camilo Valdés, on behalf of the Panamanian state, received from the general director of the National Lottery of Charity (LNB), Saquina Jaramillo, the contributions in terms of the profits from the draws of the third quarter of the year, amounting to B/.8,050,000.00 (USD8m).
"The contributions delivered correspond to the profits from the sale of chances and tickets from various draws," explained the director of the DGI.
For her part, director Jaramillo stated that the National Lottery of Charity is a self-managed entity, which by law delivers contributions to the Panamanian state. Also, from the LNB, they explained that adjustments in the operational area and greater controls have allowed them to fully meet the contributions in the months of July, August, and September.
"Apart from delivering the full contributions these three months, this new administration continues with the work of charity throughout the country," they assured from the LNB.

It is worth remembering that in mid-July, the Government of Panama announced the appointment of Jaramillo as the new general director of the LNB, in replacement of Marcos Cedeño, who had been nominated in June, but declined the position citing personal reasons.
Jaramillo assured that one of her main objectives is to foster transparency in the institution. Another mission assigned by the president of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, is to end the electronic lottery that has been operating in the country since last October.
As part of the initiative to transparent the situation, after receiving the endorsement of the National Assembly, Jaramillo said that the list of holders or owners of ticket books will be disclosed, once an audit that is being carried out is completed. Jaramillo advanced that nationally there are 13,000 ticket sellers and that they have already managed to review about 7,500 of the list.
