1DF Announces Return of BroadcastHER Academy
1000 Dreams Fund (1DF), a national nonprofit that supports the dreams of talented young women in need with scholarships, mentorship, and other critical resources, has announced the return of the BroadcastHER Academy (#BroadcastHERAcademy), an esports and gaming fellowship program for women interested in pursuing careers in the esports industry – whether in-front or behind the camera.
Those who are interested can apply to the BroadcastHER Academy Challenge on https://1000dreamsfund.org/broadcasther-academy-challenge-2022/.
While women are driving big gains in esports viewership, women pro gamers earn millions less than their male counterparts with only few holding a salaried position on esports teams, according to esportsearnings.com. Women content creators additionally face a substantial pay gap.
“First and foremost, the BroadcastHER Academy Fellowship Program is intended to build a diverse talent pool for our partners and the industry while providing our participants with unparalleled access to hands-on training that can lead to employment opportunities at the end of the fellowship. We are also thrilled to be able to connect our Fellows with our incredible partners and their teams to help expand their professional networks,” Christie Garton, Founder and CEO of 1000 Dreams Fund, said.
Partners include premier esports entertainment company Allied Esports and HyperX, the gaming division of HP, and leader in gaming products. Both partners have sponsored the fellowship program since its launch in 2019, helping fuel the dreams of over 30 women in esports.
“Career programs focused on inclusivity are essential, and the BroadcastHER Academy continues to set the standard for creating opportunities for young women in our growing industry. Allied Esports is extremely proud to partner with 1000 Dreams Fund to help mentor and showcase these young women who have the talent and drive to be future leaders in broadcasting and gaming,” Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports, said.
New to the program this year, BroadcastHER Academy Fellows will have access to a special mentorship panel opportunity with Aerial Powers, HyperX Brand Ambassador and a professional basketball player for the Minnesota Lynx as part of the Women’s National Basketball Association, previously playing for Michigan State University in college. Aerial has accelerated her love for gaming and content creation through her Twitch streams, YouTube Channel, and position as Chair of Diversity & Inclusion at Team Liquid.
“HyperX is excited to bring these young women closer to realizing their dreams and ensure that they have a fair chance at economic and job opportunities within the broadcast and gaming industry. Through our multi-year support of 1000 Dreams Fund BroadcastHER Academy, we’ve interacted with the many talented Fellows and have seen how the program has served as an accelerator for careers in gaming for young ethnic women. HyperX is committed to ensuring that women have a seat at the table as they are underrepresented especially in the gaming industry,” said Wendy Lecot, head of strategic alliances, HyperX.
Ten women will be announced to the fellowship program for one year. Applicants will be selected based on the quality of their application which includes a proposed plan for what they hope to accomplish by the end of the program.

Gaming Corps goes live with bet365 in Alberta on day one of regulated market
Gaming Corps has launched its online casino content with bet365 in Alberta on the first day of the province’s regulated market opening on 13 July 2026, while also expanding its content distribution with the operator in Ontario and Spain.
The Sweden-based game developer said it is among the first wave of studios fully certified for Alberta’s newly regulated market. Gaming Corps will support bet365’s Alberta entry with more than 50 games at launch, spanning Slots, Table, Plinko, Mine Games and Instant Blitz.
As part of the expanded partnership, Gaming Corps said bet365 will also gain access to its football-themed titles, including Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, and its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, and 3 Pigs of the Caribbean.
The rollout also includes Gaming Corps’ Low RTP Blackjack titles, which the company said are designed around 93.57% RTP and approximately 6% operator hold, with flexible branding options and side-bet mechanics.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Extending our partnership with bet365 across Spain, Ontario and Alberta is a major moment for Gaming Corps, but Alberta is the real statement here. Going live with bet365 from day one reflects the work our teams have put into certification, onboarding and ensuring we can move quickly and confidently with major operator partners.
“As one of the earliest studios ready for Alberta, we’ll be bringing more than 50 titles to the province. That breadth matters, because it gives operators like bet365 a single partner across multiple verticals, with content designed to support acquisition, engagement and retention across different player segments. Spain and Ontario are also important regulated markets for us and expanding with a global operator of this scale highlights how far Gaming Corps has come in a short period of time.”
Richard Graham, Associate VP of Gaming at bet365at bet365 said: “Gaming Corps has become a valuable content partner, combining recognisable game identities with formats that add variety across our casino offering. We are pleased to extend the partnership into Spain, Ontario and Alberta, with the Alberta launch particularly important as part of our day-one commitment to the market.
“Expanding the relationship across multiple territories in a relatively short period reflects the strength of the collaboration, as well as the Gaming Corps team’s clear product direction, commitment and continued development as a game vendor. We look forward to giving players access to a wide-ranging portfolio from the moment the market opens.”
