ITL Reports Great Success at ICE London 2020
Innovative Technology (ITL) has reported great success at ICE London 2020. The ICU device attracted much interest and visitors were impressed with how it can accurately verify age and manage self-exclusion and VIPs using facial recognition. The Spectral Technology was also a hit, especially the stained note detection feature which rejects the acceptance of stolen notes.
“ICE was a great success for us this year with a busy stand for the duration of the show. Operators and manufacturers keen to support responsible gambling to ensure player protection were eager to demo ICU on the stand. The team showed them how ICU can help with implementing important social responsibility policies. ICU Age Verification can ensure compliance to prevent underage gambling and safeguard children, while ICU Facial Recognition can allow Operators to identify VIPs and those who have willingly self-excluded or have been excluded,” Marcus Tiedt, Sales Director, said.
“Our stained note detection feature found in ITL’s Spectral Technology also attracted strong interest. Gaming machines are just one example of where criminals try to launder stained or fraudulent banknotes by depositing dye-stained notes into machines. This can pose a threat to Operators if they do not have the latest technology installed to combat this. Spectral Technology includes state of the art spectral sensors offer complete note image capture (highest spectral coverage) scanning millions of datapoints to authenticate the validity of notes and give the highest level of stained note detection,” Marcus continued.
“ICE always provides us with an excellent platform for customer feedback and networking and this year was no exception. We look forward to working with our customer to provide them with the ability to automate transactions and manage payments and identification in the most cost effective, secure and business efficient way,” Marcus added.

Gamblers Connect names Gali Hartuv as seventh 2026 Contributors Program voice
The Playa strategic advisor will publish on VIP operations, segmentation and retention, starting with an anonymous VIP Operations Survey 2026.
Gamblers Connect has confirmed Gali Hartuv, Strategic Advisor at The Playa, as the seventh voice to join its 2026 Contributors Program.
The independent B2B iGaming media platform said the programme will reveal one senior industry voice per month throughout 2026, with contributors publishing under the Gamblers Connect Contributor Editorial Code.
Gamblers Connect said Hartuv has more than 15 years’ experience in VIP management, including designing and optimising VIP programmes across more than 50 operator brands, and training “hundreds of professionals” now working in VIP roles across the industry.
Hartuv will publish across four areas: building VIP programmes that drive long-term value; AI-powered VIP identification and player segmentation; hyper-personalisation and retention strategy; and scaling VIP operations across different markets and cultures. His first contribution is a VIP Operations Survey 2026, an anonymous survey intended to benchmark how VIP teams work across iGaming operators, including portfolio sizing, tools, qualification thresholds, workflow standards and where time is spent during the week.
Partnerships and Operations Lead, Luka Dimitrijevic, said: “VIP management is where a great deal of an operator’s value is won or lost, and very few people can speak to it with Gali’s depth. He has spent his career turning high value player relationships into a discipline rather than guesswork, and he is refreshingly candid about what works and what does not. Through the Contributors Program he will share practical insight on VIP strategy, retention, and the smart use of AI, with content grounded in real results rather than recycled best practices.”
