YGAM, the award winning charity whose social purpose is to inform, educate and safeguard young people against gaming and gambling harms has been named as the official charity partner of ICE London 2023. The partnership will also see YGAM become the charity partner at the black tie iGB Affiliate London Awards taking place on Thursday February 9th at The Troxy, London’s iconic art deco venue.

Confirming the partnership, Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming stated: “We are delighted to welcome YGAM as our official charity partner. YGAM is a progressive organisation which is well-known to and highly respected by many of the ICE London exhibitors and stakeholders.

“In all of the many conversations that we have with the industry safer gambling is at the top of their agenda and we are delighted to be able to use the power of the ICE brand and the platform provided by ICE London to promote safer gambling and raise awareness of the outstanding work undertaken on a daily basis by the team at YGAM.”

He added: “Our commitment to safer gambling is probably best known as a result of the award winning Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ) which we introduced to the ICE show floor in 2018. Each year the CPZ has grown in size and status with the 2023 edition hosting a record 20 stands an increase on the 14 present at the 2022 edition of ICE.

“The CPZ was recognised by the industry at the Global Regulatory Awards and has grown to become arguably the most visible manifestation of safer gambling at any industry trade show. YGAM is one of the charities that we gift space to on the CPZ and will also receive high profile branding on the CPZ theatre and on other high footfall areas of the ICE show floor.”

Ian Shanahan, Director of Business Development and Fundraising at YGAM added: “We are pleased to be working closely with Clarion Gaming again this year. ICE London is the biggest event of its kind, so its profile provides our charity with a valuable platform to raise awareness of the important work that we do to help prevent gaming and gambling harms.

“We’re looking forward to joining colleagues from across the third sector in the Consumer Protection Zone in its prominent location. YGAM will be launching our ambitious new strategy and refreshed brand in 2023 so we’re looking to showcase this at ICE ahead of an exciting year for the charity!”

The charity partnership will also see YGAM confirmed as an ICE Ambassador, receive branding around the show, be part of the official exhibition opening, attend as guests at the Casino Awards and the WRA reception and have fundraising visibility via POS leaflets and QR codes including in the ICE Show Daily newspaper.

SCCG Partners with The Vegas Walk Method® to Advance Player Empowerment and Sustainable Gaming Infrastructure Across Tribal and Commercial Markets

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in gaming, sports betting, iGaming, and emerging regulatory innovation, today announced a strategic partnership with The Vegas Walk Method®, a behavioral framework designed to promote player empowerment and sustainable engagement within high-volatility gaming environments.

Through this partnership, SCCG will support the strategic positioning, enterprise introductions, and market expansion of The Vegas Walk Method® across tribal and commercial gaming operators. The collaboration focuses on integrating the method as a player sovereignty-aligned infrastructure layer that empowers players to maintain intentional engagement while supporting operators in meeting evolving responsible gaming and regulatory objectives.

The Vegas Walk Method® is a patent-pending, trauma-aware framework built around a structured, player-defined containment approach that operates alongside an operator’s existing customer journey model. Unlike abstinence-based models, the method does not monitor or observe player behavior in-session. Instead, it provides tools that help players maintain psychological stability, develop volatility awareness, and define personal session boundaries, , and while continuing to participate in recreational gaming.

“The industry conversation around responsible gaming is evolving,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Operators, particularly in tribal markets, are increasingly focused on long-term sustainability, player empowerment, and proactive regulatory leadership. The Vegas Walk Method® provides a framework that aligns with those priorities by placing agency in the hands of the player while supporting operators with measurable, auditable outcomes. We believe this represents an important evolution in how the industry approaches sustainable engagement.”

Originally developed with operator constraints in mind, The Vegas Walk Method® is deployable through software at scale and designed to integrate seamlessly within existing operational environments. The framework surfaces structured insights for reporting and evaluation while maintaining a “zero-observation” model that respects player autonomy. It is jurisdiction-agnostic and adaptable across physical casinos, online gaming environments, and emerging digital verticals.

Central to the The Vegas Walk Method® is the concept of structured session containment, volatility awareness, and repeatable practices that build consistency across sessions. By encouraging intentional engagement and mitigating “flow state” burnout, the framework aims to support sustainable revenue models that reduce churn while protecting long-term guest relationships. For tribal operators in particular, the method aligns with player sovereignty principles and community-first mandates by reinforcing personal self-governance and sustainable play.

The partnership also positions The Vegas Walk Method® as a proactive infrastructure solution within broader regulatory and innovation discussions. As the gaming industry continues to expand into new digital formats, including prediction markets and other high-frequency engagement environments, the underlying concept offers potential application beyond traditional casino floors.

“Stephen and the team at SCCG have spent decades at the forefront of gaming innovation, and they understand instinctively that player empowerment and operator performance aren’t in tension — they’re the same goal. This partnership lets us bring The Vegas Walk Method® to the operators who are ready to lead on sustainable engagement, not just respond to regulatory pressure,” said Matthew Reynolds, Inventor & CEO of The Vegas Walk Method®  As regulatory scrutiny and public expectations continue to evolve, SCCG and The Vegas Walk Method® will work together to introduce a player sovereignty-first, empowerment-driven approach to responsible gaming that balances operator performance with long-term player wellbeing.

Boost Casino, the Baltic-Nordic “pay & play” brand within the Entain family, has teamed up with ZingBrain AI, the industry-leading artificial intelligence engine for iGaming, to deliver a more personalized and adaptive experience for players.
