YGAM Partners with TalkGEN, Red Card to Focus on Ethnic Minority Groups

YGAM has partnered with TalkGEN CIC and Red Card Gambling Support Project CIC and launched a pioneering new education programme in Greater London and the Home Counties to raise awareness and address the issue of gambling harm disproportionately affecting young people from ethnic minority populations.

The “Preventing Gambling Harms in Diverse Communities” programme will deliver free specialist workshops to young people from ethnic minority populations aged 14–24, as well as free training to community and faith leaders. The programme content centres on an understanding of socio-cultural and religious contexts on shame and stigma relating to gambling harms.

“In general, young people today are increasingly growing up with finger-tip access and exposure to gambling products and advertisements online. Despite this, the vast majority are not aware of the sudden or insidious but potentially devastating effects of gambling harm. It’s just not talked about enough, especially in schools or GP surgeries, where it is desperately needed. The situation we have now is one where young people are vulnerable to harms from their gambling or a family member’s gambling, but sadly feel unable to access help and support,” Kishan Patel, 5th Year Medical Student at Imperial College and CEO at TalkGEN CIC, said.

“We are pleased to be working with YGAM and TalkGEN on this project, as I believe we share the same goals and vision. This initiative is very much needed as gambling addiction within these hard-to-reach communities is something that is still a taboo subject so it is important we break down that barrier of stigma. I hope to use my professional football career and my story to engage our young target audience on this topic. Coming from a Caribbean background myself, I hope many young people from the community will hear my voice as one they can listen and relate to,” Tony Kelly, former professional footballer and current CEO of Red Card Gambling Support Project CIC, said.

“We’re proud to be part of this purposeful collaboration with lived experience and diversity at its heart. The project builds on the recommendations from the Clearview Research; ‘Gambling: The young BAME perspective’, commissioned by GambleAware in 2019. YGAM will take the lead on the training of community and faith leaders who once trained will deliver the programme to young people. Over the two-year pilot, YGAM will aim to train 323 practitioners, who will in turn reach 18,050 young people in their care. With the talent, specialist insight and commitment from all partner organisations, I am confident that collectively we’ll deliver some helpful perspectives on how to engage with minority communities, contributing to the National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms,” Lee Willows, CEO of YGAM, said.

Nolimit City delves back into the Mental series with its latest release, Disorder

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Witness the downfall of John, a man of order, a devoted father, a loyal husband and a pillar of routine. Nolimit City’s latest release, Disorder, unearths the twisted origin story of Mental and Mental II. This highly anticipated slot falls under the extreme themed category of Nolimit City slots such as Serial and Disturbed.

Fire Frames
The Smith household looks picture-perfect, but inside, it’s anything but. Disorder plays out on a 4-3-4-3-4-3 layout across 6 reels, with 3 locked Enhancer Cells placed at the bottom of reel 2, 4 and 6. In the real area, Fire Frames will appear randomly on the reels. Any symbol that lands in a Fire Frame will split into 2 symbols. Any regular paying symbol can be split into a max of 16. If a Bonus Symbol lands within the Fire Frame, it upgrades to a Super Bonus Symbol.

Enhancer Cells

The house has some hidden secrets in the form of Enhancer Cells. They can be activated depends on the number of Fire Frames that land:

● Reel 2 Enhancer – Activates when 4 Fire Frames appear.
● Reel 2 & 4 Enhancers – Activates when 7 Fire Frames appear.
● Reel 2, 4 & 6 Enhancers – Activates when 9 Fire Frames appear.

Once the reel 6 Enhancer Cell is activated, every 2 additional Fire Frames reactivate all Enhancer Cells.

Each Enhancer Cell may reveal the following symbols:

● Molotov – Randomly selects a regular paying symbol, splits it and all its instances. Regular paying symbols can be split into a max of 16. It also converts itself into the selected symbol.
● Delusion – Randomly selects a regular paying symbol, transforms it and all its instances into the highest paying symbol present on the reels. It also converts itself into the selected symbol.
● Paranoia Multiplier – Adds a random multiplier between 1x and 999x to the win multiplier. The Multiplier applies to all wins until the end of the round. It also converts itself into a Wild Symbol.
● Nuclear Wild – Transforms all regular paying symbols on its reel into Wild Symbols. It also converts itself into a Wild Symbol.
● xBomb® – Removes all Regular paying symbols not part of a winning combination. If any instance of a winning symbol also exists on a non winning position, it will not be removed. xBomb® also converts itself to a Wild Symbol and increases the win multiplier by 1.
● Family Symbol – One of the 5 Family Symbols appears.

Features are triggered left to right except xBomb®, which triggers last.

Bonus Mode

John’s house was built with “extra rooms.” Unfortunately, they’re not for guests but for Bonus Modes. The number of spins awarded in the Bonus Modes depends on the number of symbols that trigger it. Each Bonus Symbol awards +2 Spins. Each Super Bonus Symbol awards + 3 Spins. This applies both in the spin that triggers bonus mode and during bonus mode itself. During the bonus mode, Fire Frames are more likely to appear than in the base game. Multipliers awarded in base game will not be carried over to bonus mode.

Obsessive Compulsive Spins

The first sign that John was losing his mind was the onset Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Landing 3 Bonus Symbols including at most 1 Super Bonus Symbol in the base game triggers 6+ Obsessive Compulsive Spins. Landing 2 or 3 Super Bonus Symbols during Obsessive Compulsive spins will upgrade the spins to Antisocial Personality Spins, whereas landing 4 Super Bonus Symbols will upgrade the spins to Severe Dissociative Identity spins. The win multiplier and Fire Frames reset after each spin.

Antisocial Personality Spins

The second sign was the fact that John started isolating himself, going straight to the basement every time he got home from work. Landing 3 Bonus Symbols including at most 2 Super Bonus Symbols in the base game triggers 8+ Antisocial Spins. Landing 2 Super Bonus Symbols during Antisocial Personality Spins will upgrade the spins to Severe Dissociative Spins. The win multiplier count will not reset during the Antisocial Personality Spins.

Severe Dissociative Identity Spins

The final stage of John’s transition was that he detached from reality and allowed his intrusive thoughts to take over. Landing 4 Super Bonus Symbols in the base game triggers 12+ Severe Dissociative Identity Spins. Fire Frames remain sticky on their positions and the win multiplier count will not reset during the Severe Dissociative Identity Spins.

Extra Spin

Extra Spin is back! When Antisocial Personality Spins or Severe Dissociative Identity Spins are triggered, players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin at the end of the round. The additional spin will keep the win multiplier and Fire Frames (if sticky) of the previous spin. The cost of the spin will be calculated based on the win multiplier and Fire Frames. If the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the total win, then the Extra Spin opportunity will be presented.

Nolimit Boosters

The rest of the Smith family are going to find out who John really is, especially with these Nolimit Boosters:

– Bonus Booster – More likely to activate a Bonus Mode.
– Fire Booster – Increased chance of landing more Fire Frames compared to the base game and more likely to activate a Bonus Mode.
– Enhancer Booster – Guaranteed 9 Fire Frames and more Fire Frames may appear in upcoming spins and more likely to activate a Bonus Mode.

A tale of a beautiful family that gets torn apart by the father completely losing his mind. Disorder has a maximum payout of 23,500x the base bet. Disorder is rated as “Extremely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “If Mental was the aftermath, Disorder is the breaking point. We wanted to show the moment when everything snapped. We wanted to keep the story as cohesive as possible leaving room for people to make their own assumptions. John takes us through the different secret levels of his suburban home during the free spins. It’s not the family reunion anyone wants to attend”

‘Disorder’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on November 4th, 2025.

Protecting African sports and regulated betting operators from match-fixing

The International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and the African iGaming Alliance (AIA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance collaboration and promote integrity across Africa’s rapidly developing sports competitions and betting markets. The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between the two associations, each representing regulated betting operators, to support responsible and sustainable sports betting markets across the continent.

Under the terms of the MoU, IBIA will become the AIA’s strategic betting integrity partner, while AIA will act as IBIA’s primary betting policy and regulation partner for Africa. The partnership will facilitate the exchange of information, joint engagement and coordinated policy initiatives aimed at protecting consumers, regulated operators and sports from betting-related match-fixing.

Peter Emolemo Kesitilwe, CEO of AIA, commented: “Integrity is the foundation of Africa’s betting future. This partnership between the AIA and IBIA represents a decisive step towards ensuring that Africa’s growing betting industry is anchored on trust, transparency, and accountability. As a pan-African industry platform, AIA is committed to working with global integrity leaders like IBIA to harmonise standards, promote responsible gaming, and support regulators in safeguarding markets from manipulation and illicit practices. Together, we can strengthen Africa’s credibility as a world-class, igaming frontier.”

Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “Africa represents one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing betting markets in the world. Ensuring that this growth is underpinned by robust sports betting integrity standards and effective regulation is essential. Our partnership with the African iGaming Alliance reinforces our shared commitment to supporting a sustainable, well-regulated African betting industry that safeguards consumers and sporting competitions alike.”

The partnership will enable both organisations to share insights on betting integrity, regulatory developments and policy trends across Africa. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening integrity frameworks for regulated betting operators and to fostering closer cooperation between the associations’ members.

From 2020 to Q3 2025, IBIA reported 131 suspicious betting alerts across African sporting events, primarily involving football (64) and tennis (62).

Backed by over 90 operators and 200 betting brands, IBIA safeguards sport and regulated betting markets through global monitoring, intelligence sharing and stakeholder collaboration. It monitors over 1.5 million sporting events and $300bn in bets each year. Its alerts have contributed to the successful prosecution of numerous match-fixing cases worldwide, reinforcing IBIA’s role as a trusted partner to regulators, sports and policymakers.
