London’s status as a key global financial centre will serve as the backdrop to the launch of the industry’s first World Gaming M&A Summit (WGM&A). Taking place on 1 July and serving as the curtain raiser to iGB L!VE, the WGM&A represents the only dedicated forum for corporate development officers and M&A advisors working in iGaming.

The WorldGaming M&A Summit brings a dedicated focus on mergers and acquisitions in iGaming. Convening leadership from public and private operators alongside sector-focused investment banks, legal advisers and corporate finance specialists, attendees will benefit from a highly targeted opportunity to engage with key decision-makers, originate deal flow, assess strategic fit and gain insights from active market participants.

The event provides direct access to London’s deep sector expertise built over decades of transactions and its unparalleled ecosystem of strategic acquirers, potential targets, leading advisory firms and business leaders across the M&A value chain.

Industry expert and WorldGaming chairman Michael Caselli stated: “M&A is a business imperative in the current iGaming landscape and this event features insights from sector-specialist advisers and industry leaders including Morgan Stanley’s Laurence Hopkins and Paolo Della Rovere, and Bally’s Robeson Reeves.

“Also featuring strategic intent sessions, industry leaders will host round tables to explain their growth theses, define their M&A criteria and share their business’ vision for consolidation and growth. Following the sessions attendees are invited to the M&A Summit cocktail reception and dinner where conversations will continue and deals will be cemented.”

Explaining the background to the Tier 1 event, World Gaming managing director Stuart Hunter said: “Legislative and fiscal developments, including the increase in UK gaming taxes which were announced by the government in the November 2025 budget, evolving European regulations and wider global legislative adjustments, have prompted the introduction of the World Gaming M&A Summit.

“The WGM&A is part of a broader programme of business-critical events taking place at iGB L!VE. With so many investors and decision makers based in London, iGB L!VE is closer to the people who are critical to the future development of the iGaming industry.”

In order to maintain a focused, high-level attendance, the WorldGaming M&A Summit is limiting its attendance and tickets are by application only. Applicants should be actively seeking strategic partnerships or be an experienced adviser in the sector. Applications are being accepted at  igblive.com/igb-live-ma-summit.

CHIPS Charity, which is on track to present its 800th wheelchair in 2026, has been named the official charity partner for July’s iGB L!VE, the second edition of the leading b2b showcase to be held in London.

Born out of the land-based gambling industry, the registered charity provides bespoke wheelchairs to young people whose families are unable to access or fund the equipment that they require. CHIPS Chairs are designed and engineered to meet the specific physiological needs of each recipient and can cost up to £9000.

CHIPS co-founder Linda Lindsay said she is delighted to be partnering with WorldGaming (formerly Clarion Gaming) to raise vital funds for children who have been deprived of the freedom and independence that powered wheelchairs provide.

She said: “I have seen the strain and stress that parents experience when they learn that their child does not qualify for a powered wheelchair. The qualification tests can be extremely cruel and, in some cases, children who can walk only a few metres are deemed ineligible, even though they quickly struggle to stand beyond that extremely short distance – which is why CHIPS fulfils such an important role.”

She added: “There’s no doubt that CHIPS chairs transform lives providing youngsters with the freedom and independence that so many of us understandably take for granted. CHIPS was founded by colleagues working in the land-based casino sector and I’m very much looking forward to introducing our work and explaining our vision to iGaming professionals and businesses at iGB L!VE.”

WorldGaming will be announcing a programme of activations to build the profile of CHIPS Charity with the international community of iGaming professionals who will be attending the tier 1 business event which showcases game-changing technologies, provides access to market insights and delivers high-quality curated networking including exclusive industry gatherings.

The 2025 edition of iGB L!VE which was the first to be held in London, set a new visitation record of 20,227 a figure that was 16% up on the previous high of 17,498 set in 2024. iGB L!VE ’25 also underlined its international credentials with attendees travelling to the show from 149 nations, up from the 2024 figure of 131.
