iGaming News is excited to reveal Press Box PR, a top digital and conventional PR firm for the iGaming and sports betting sector, as the official Women in iGaming sponsor of the publication. This collaboration backs iGaming News’ Women in iGaming initiative, a program focused on honoring, showcasing, and elevating the accomplishments of women leaders advancing the industry.

To launch the partnership, iGaming News has unveiled a new category, sponsored by Press Box PR, at its first iGaming News Awards: “Woman of Influence,” highlighting outstanding women who are transforming the industry and fostering innovation.

Abigail Welch, Editor of iGaming News, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Press Box PR as the official sponsor of our Women in iGaming initiative. Their expertise in digital PR will help us bring the incredible stories of women across the industry to a wider audience. This partnership is about celebrating women every day, supporting their achievements and inspiring the next generation of leaders.”

Sarah Williams, B2B account manager for Press Box PR, said: “We’re thrilled to be a part of iGaming News’ Women in iGaming initiative! With International Women’s Day coming up this Sunday as well as March being Women’s History Month, there’s no better time to announce this fantastic partnership. By putting our time, money and effort behind initiatives like Women in iGaming, Press Box PR is showing support all year long, not just on certain days or months.

“While we are certainly seeing more women excelling and leading in the industry, only about 16% of executive-level roles in the sector are held by women, according to the latest 2025 data from the Gambling Survey for Great Britain. I hope that by shining a light on the skilled women in this industry, we can see that representation increase.”

The partnership will feature editorial pieces, interviews, podcasts, and campaign material highlighting women who are shaping history in iGaming, their professional paths, and how they are progressing the industry. Uniting iGaming News’ industry influence with Press Box PR’s digital communication skills and client network, the collaboration aims to amplify women’s voices and enhance recognition for female leaders.

Gold Cash Free Spins Rising Wins is the latest chapter in the renowned Gold Cash franchise, introducing fresh mechanics while retaining the series’ signature style. The base game features random reel expansions, while the bonus round lets players choose: more spins at lower reel heights for steady wins, fewer spins with taller reels for high volatility, or a mystery option.

The Isle of Man government has published its updated National Risk Assessment (NRA) for the gambling sector.

The assessment identifies key threats of Money Laundering (ML) to the island’s Gambling sector (both Terrestrial and Online) and the materiality and impact of those threats. Both terrestrial and online gambling have been given a risk rating, with an overall rating for gambling as a whole. These risk ratings and key findings of the NRA feed into the wider NRA work, ensuring the Island has a comprehensive view of the entire threat landscape.

The NRA aggregates, compares and weighs the findings across all sectors to determine which risks drive national exposure. This ensures the NRA is not hypothetical: it reflects actual sector-level dynamics so that the Island can understand the “bigger picture” with each sectoral assessment piecing together a border threat picture.

It is important that the island has a comprehensive understanding of risk at all levels, which does not reflect poor standards but instead outlines structural features of a sector. A robust NRA demonstrates that the jurisdiction understands its ML risks and applies targeted controls that are appropriate.

Risk Ratings are as follows:

• The gambling sector overall is assessed as medium-high risk for money laundering.

• The online gambling sector has a medium-high risk, reflecting a large number of international customers and transaction volumes.

• The terrestrial gambling has a medium-low risk, reflecting its smaller size, domestic profile and lower transaction volumes.

Key Takeaways

The Sectoral NRA highlights core threats in both the online and terrestrial sectors, including:

• Criminal ownership and control of gambling businesses or B2B services, via front companies and complex corporate structures.

• Exploitation by organised crime groups, including those from East and Southeast Asia, for money laundering, cyber-enabled crime and other illicit activities globally.

• Criminals use false or stolen IDs, synthetic identities, and mule identities to access gambling services and obscure their true identity to bypass due diligence controls.

• For terrestrial gambling, cash-intensive operations and casino-specific instruments remain primary channels for laundering domestic predicate offences.

It also highlights potential emerging threats such as:

• Use of advanced technologies (AI, deepfakes, virtual assets) to obscure identities, automate fraud, and facilitate cross-border transfers.

• Use of “turnkey solutions” (pre-packaged business setups) allowing rapid establishment of operations and access to banking services with minimal experience.

Importantly, the NRA makes it clear that these risks arise in specific circumstances with the sector operating legitimate international structures, strong governance and applying high standards of AML/CFT compliance. Those features that make activity higher risk for misuse should be considered within that context.
