YGAM Urges Parents to Better Understand Gaming
Kev Clelland, Operations Director at the Young Gamers & Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM), has urged parents to develop a better understanding of game mechanics and online actions to safeguard children from the possible harms of the digital environment.
Writing for the charity as FIFA 21 launched, Clelland encouraged parents to use YGAM’s tools to “learn about their children’s games” and ensure better gaming habits.
He wrote as follows: “Parents across the UK, including myself, have been hearing all about the release of FIFA 21 for weeks now and the game has become just as popular as watching or playing football and no less competitive. However, I won’t be the only parent who has experienced the sometimes-toxic nature of online video gaming.
“For parents, it can be hugely worrying and unnerving to allow children to engage with friends and play online, especially with so many aspects of gaming being unfamiliar to many adults. Another area that causes concern and confusion for me and many parents is the use of Loot Boxes, or in the case of FIFA, Ultimate Team Packs (FUT Packs).
“The introduction of these games of chance in many video games played by children has led many to campaign for the reclassification of them as ‘games of chance’ making them subject to the Gambling Act.
“With what seems like an overwhelming amount of information out there, it is more important than ever that parents are able to understand the mechanics of the games that their children are playing. Being equipped to create reasonable and realistic boundaries is essential.
“Giving parents the resources and knowledge they need to understand games such as FIFA is key to being able to manage children’s safety online and minimise exposure to harmful behaviour.
“There are many great tips available through the YGAM Parents Hub on how to engage with children and help them stay safe.”

Amusnet
Amusnet Gaming Explains the Shift From Account Management to Revenue System Ownership
Amusnet Gaming joined industry leaders, compliance experts, technology professionals, and gaming stakeholders at HIPTHER Baltics & Nordics: Tallinn 2026 for a day of discussions focused on digital governance, startup innovation, and Nordic market expansion. We spoke with Jack Lloyd, Partner Account & Commercial Manager – Operations Lead at Amusnet Gaming, about the evolving role of account management in iGaming – and why the industry is increasingly moving toward full partner revenue lifecycle ownership.
The phrase “revenue system ownership” suggests a much broader responsibility than traditional account management. How do you define this shift inside the modern iGaming ecosystem?
From a game provider perspective, “revenue system ownership” reflects the move away from managing accounts as standalone relationships and toward owning the performance of the content ecosystem inside each operator.
It means taking responsibility not just for delivering games, but for how those games perform once deployed – across lobbies, markets, player segments, and promotional layers. The provider role becomes directly tied to revenue outcomes, where success is measured by engagement, retention, and game-level performance, not just distribution.
How Amusnet applies this philosophy
At Amusnet, this means taking a proactive approach to portfolio management. We work closely with operators to analyse game performance, identify market-specific trends, and optimise content visibility through lobby positioning, promotional activity, and tailored launch strategies
What Amusnet is doing differently
Rather than focusing solely on new integrations, we place significant emphasis on post-launch performance. Once content is live, our teams continuously monitor engagement and revenue trends to identify opportunities for further optimisation and growth.
What tools or capabilities support this
Access to detailed performance data across multiple regulated markets gives us a broader view of player behaviour and portfolio performance, helping us identify opportunities that may not be visible when looking at a single market in isolation.
What are the biggest limitations of the classic account management model in today’s highly competitive and data-driven gaming market?
The traditional model is often too disconnected from product and performance reality. In many cases, account management sits between commercial, product, and operations without true ownership of outcomes.
For game providers, this creates friction between insight and execution. You may see performance trends, but lack the operational leverage to immediately impact game positioning, segmentation strategy, or market-specific optimisation.
In a highly competitive environment, this slows down portfolio growth and limits the ability to fully monetise content across operators.
How has the expectation from operators changed when it comes to account management and commercial partnership support over the past few years?
Operators now expect game providers to behave more like performance partners rather than content vendors.
It’s no longer just about supplying a strong game portfolio – it’s about actively contributing to how that portfolio is monetised inside the operator’s ecosystem. In the current market, a top-tier supplier’s commercial lead needs to understand API optimization, algorithmic recommendations, data segmentation, and local compliance constraints. If an account team cannot translate data insights into actionable revenue opportunities for operators, it risks becoming less relevant in today’s market
In practice, providers are expected to influence revenue outcomes, not just supply tools that generate them.
What are some of the biggest challenges companies face today when managing long-term growth across multiple regulated markets?
For game providers, the biggest challenge is scaling a consistent portfolio strategy across fragmented regulatory environments.
Each market affects how content can be certified, distributed, and positioned, which directly impacts performance. What works in one jurisdiction may not translate into another due to compliance constraints or player behaviour differences.
At the same time, without a consolidated performance view across operators and markets, it becomes difficult to optimise the portfolio holistically and understand true game-level ROI.
What internal skills or mindset changes do companies now look for when building high-performing account management or partnership teams?
The shift is toward hybrid commercial and product-performance thinking.
For game providers, it’s no longer enough to manage relationships – teams need to understand how games perform at a granular level and translate that into actionable portfolio decisions.
This requires strong analytical capability, but also a deep understanding of content strategy, player engagement, and how to influence operator-side execution. The mindset shifts from account servicing to active revenue and portfolio optimization ownership.
Looking ahead, how do you see partnership and revenue management roles evolving within the iGaming industry over the next few years?
Within game providers, these roles are evolving into fully integrated portfolio performance ownership functions.
The separation between account management, product, and commercial strategy will continue to fade. Instead, teams will be structured around full lifecycle responsibility for game performance across operators.
AI and automation will increasingly handle reporting and operational tasks, allowing commercial teams to focus on strategic portfolio decisions, market expansion, and optimisation of content performance at scale.
Ultimately, success will be defined by how effectively game providers can turn content into sustained revenue performance across diverse regulated markets.
The industry has moved beyond simple content distribution. Operators are looking for partners who can help them grow, not just suppliers who provide games. Our focus is on combining strong content with data-driven decision making and local market expertise to create lasting value for our partner.
