Data released following this year’s successful event – which ran from November 13 to 19 – revealed a huge 70% increase on 2022, when Safer Gambling Week messaging was displayed on major social media sites nearly 30 million times.

The initiative, which ran for its seventh year, also received half a million visits to the Safer Gambling Week website which signposts help and advice for those who may be struggling as well as offering advice on safer gambling tools like deposit limits and time outs.

Meanwhile, a large number of cross-party senior MPs and peers – including gambling minister Stuart Andrew MP and several shadow ministers including the Shadow Gambling Minister Stephanie Peacock MP – also gave their backing to the ground-breaking campaign.

This year’s event also had the full support of the independent regulator, the Gambling Commission and its Chief Executive Andrew Rhodes.

Among the well-known football clubs to support Safer Gambling Week 2023 were Premier League sides West Ham United and Brighton as well as EFL sides Southampton, Middlesborough and Blackpool.

The aim of Safer Gambling Week is to kickstart a national conversation between staff, customers and their friends and family, about safer gambling, as well as highlight the range of tools that are available to help people stay in control of their betting.

BGC Chief Executive Michael Dugher said: “This year’s Safer Gambling Week campaign has proved another huge success, achieving new records for promoting the safer gambling tools available to customers and signposting the help and support available to those who need it.

“It is proven that the success of the campaign leads to increased use of popular safer gambling tools – like time-outs and deposit limits – that only exist in the regulated industry.

“The record numbers for both impressions and website visits show that the industry has never been more committed to ensuring the many millions who enjoy a regular flutter continue to do so in a safe and responsible environment.

“Thanks to Safer Gambling Week, we can be confident millions of people are better informed about the ways they can enjoy their hobby even more safely and responsibly, that’s something the entire industry can be proud of.

“But the regulated industry’s commitment to safer gambling is not just for one week of the year. It is our mission for every week of the year.”

The Safer Gambling Week campaign, organised by the Betting and Gaming Council, BACTA and the Bingo Association saw a blitz of safer gambling messages both online and in land-based venues, aiming to spark a nationwide conversation about betting responsibly.

The campaign was also supported by a number of events including the EGR Safer Gambling Forum which provided an opportunity for industry to share knowledge and best practice on their work on safer gambling, alongside hearing updates from safer gambling charities. The forum featured speakers from GamCare, Deal Me Out, YGAM, Kindred and Betknowmore.

Each month around 22.5m adults have a bet in Britain, whether it’s buying a lottery ticket, playing a game of bingo, visiting a casino, playing games online or having a wager on football, horse racing and other sports.

Meanwhile, problem gambling rates remain stable and low. According to the latest NHS Health Survey, the rate of problem gambling among adults in England is 0.4%.

iGB Affiliate 2026 in Barcelona has officially come to an end, marking two powerful days for the affiliate industry and an unforgettable grand finale for N1 Puzzle Promo. N1 Partners wrapped up the conference days with high-intensity networking, strong media attention and a large-scale final event that brought the community together.

From January 20 to 21, N1 Partners welcomed partners, media and industry leaders at stand 80-C80, which quickly became one of the most dynamic meeting points on the expo floor.

A Key Meeting Point During iGB Affiliate 2026

Throughout both conference days, the N1 Partners stand maintained a steady flow of visitors and ongoing media attention. The scale of partner engagement and the volume of conversations naturally positioned the stand as a focal point for meetings, interviews and informal discussions across the venue.

Over the course of the conference, the team held more than 500 meetings, covering traffic strategies, custom deals and long-term collaboration opportunities. In parallel, 300+ branded merch packs were distributed to stand visitors, reinforcing brand visibility and partner engagement throughout the event.

The stand experience combined business and interaction in a relaxed format. Guests enjoyed signature cocktails while discussing top-performing deals, took part in the Plinko activity to win exclusive N1 Partners merchandise, and used the space to build new connections, strengthen existing partnerships and move forward with concrete business agreements.

Strong Media Engagement and Industry Dialogue

iGB Affiliate 2026 also served as an important media platform for N1 Partners. During the conference, the team took part in over 10 interviews and podcasts, sharing perspectives on affiliate marketing trends, partner expectations and sustainable growth within the iGaming sector.

This level of media interest reflected the market’s attention to N1 Partners’ approach and reinforced the company’s position as a visible and trusted affiliate program.

      

The Grand Finale. N1 Puzzle Promo Party

The highlight of the week took place after the first day of the iGB Affiliate conference, when N1 Partners hosted the grand final event of N1 Puzzle Promo in Barcelona. The evening was designed as a closed-format celebration, welcoming a carefully selected audience of partners, industry leaders and key players from the iGaming community.

The event generated significant interest well ahead of time, with over 2,000 registrations, while attendance exceeded 600 guests, filling the venue with decision-makers, top affiliates and long-term partners. The closed nature of the event and limited access created a high level of anticipation and made the finale one of the most talked-about gatherings of the conference week.

During the night, N1 Partners revealed the winner of the main N1 Puzzle Promo prize, awarding a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter, alongside exclusive giveaways for guests. 

As part of the finale, N1 Partners proudly presented the finalists of N1 Puzzle Promo, recognising the partners who consistently maintained a strong pace throughout the campaign and secured the top positions on the leaderboard.

  • 1st place: Cash Splash

  • 2nd place: Advertise

  • 3rd place: Traffic Squad

  • 4th place: Seven Group

  • 5th place: Alfaleads Network

The program was complemented by DJ sets and a live performance from the event’s headline guest, turning the evening into a landmark moment that combined celebration, entertainment and strong brand presence.

Recognising N1 Puzzle Promo’s Impact

In addition to its industry presence at iGB Affiliate 2026, N1 Puzzle Promo was recently recognised at the European iGaming Awards, where it was named Best Advertising and Marketing Campaign. This accolade highlights the campaign’s global reach and impact, acknowledging it as one of the most innovative and performance-driven marketing initiatives in the iGaming industry.

Closing the Barcelona Chapter

N1 Partners expressed appreciation to everyone who visited the stand, took part in meetings and contributed to the energy of iGB Affiliate 2026.

Special thanks were also extended to all guests who joined the N1 Puzzle Promo grand final party and helped turn the evening into one of the most memorable moments of the conference week.

Games Global and Stormcraft Studios extend the supernatural franchise with Immortal Romance: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo

Link&Win™, Power Combo™, and Wild Desire™ Purchase Feature unite in an exciting slot experience.
Games Global, alongside its exclusive studio partner, Stormcraft Studios, has launched Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™, the newest installment in the enduring Immortal Romance™ franchise.
Immortal Romance™, launched in 2011, has maintained a consistent presence in regulated markets, celebrated for its gothic style and story-driven gameplay structure. Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ enhances that groundwork, progressing Sarah’s narrative while offering a contemporary, feature-rich slot.
Situated in a shadowy, supernatural environment, the launch traces Sarah’s transformation into a potent elemental entity, merging striking visuals with captivating mechanics and gameplay enhanced by intricate bonus features.
In the base game, Plasma Orb symbols accumulate in vials positioned above the reels, and once collections are complete, they trigger the Link&Win™ Bonus. The Cash and Jackpot symbols secure their positions as the feature starts with three re-spins, resetting with every new symbol that appears, and filling all spots grants the Mega Jackpot.
Extra interest is added with five modifiers: Supernova, Barrage, Surge, Magnify, and Twin Flames. Every modifier offers a distinct prize, and activating several modifiers simultaneously creates the Power Combo™, revealing as many as 31 potential feature combinations. These combinations create different structures and payout dynamics, guaranteeing that no two bonuses unfold alike.
Sarah’s Feature ensures participation in the Link&Win™ Bonus with several modifiers already in effect, while the Twin Flames modifier may grant a double Link&Win™ Bonus, with each round operating separately.
In addition to the fundamental bonus mechanics, the renowned Wild Desire™ Buy Feature makes a comeback as an optional enhancement. With a bet of 100x, the feature provides a solitary spin across 1,024 winning possibilities, during which as many as five reels can become fully Wild, presenting increased win potential of up to 10,000x.

Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ is a visually striking slot designed for operators seeking established IP, with the release further showcasing Games Global’s commitment to curating diverse, high-performing franchises for its partners.

Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said: “Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ was created to move the Immortal Romance universe forward while staying true to what players love most about it. We focused on giving Sarah her defining moment, a personalised chapter so to speak. One that feels powerful and elevated, supported by gameplay that’s bold but cohesive. It’s a confident evolution of the brand and a clear signal of where the series is headed next.”
