In December 2024, bet365 won the SBC Bookmaker of the Year for the fifth consecutive year.
This is wrong: the 2024 SBC Awards were held on 26 September 2024, and the official winners list does not show bet365 winning a "Bookmaker of the Year" award. Instead, Betsson Group won Sportsbook Operator of the Year, while bet365 Partners won Best Affiliate Program.
Full reasoning
The official SBC Awards 2024 page says the ceremony took place in Lisbon on 26 September 2024, not in December 2024. The official winners listing for that event shows Betsson Group as the winner of Sportsbook Operator of the Year. It also shows bet365 Partners winning Best Affiliate Program.
So this sentence is inaccurate in two ways:
- Wrong date — the 2024 SBC Awards event was held in September 2024, not December 2024.
- Wrong award/winner — the official 2024 winners list does not show bet365 winning an SBC "Bookmaker of the Year" award. For 2024, the relevant operator award on the official page is Sportsbook Operator of the Year, and that winner was Betsson Group.
Because the official SBC materials contradict both the date and the claimed award result, this sentence should be corrected.
