Innovative Technology (ITL) took part in the last ICE to be held in London last week which attracted huge crowds from the gaming industry before the show moves to Barcelona in 2025. The Innovative stand was right opposite the Consumer Protection Zone which was a key theme at the show, with both their traditional cash handling equipment and latest biometric technology ranges on display.

Marcus Tiedt, Director of Sales & Marketing at ITL, said: “By far the most crowd-pulling solution on the stand was our AI-powered biometric age check technology which provides the gaming industry with a robust tool to prevent underage gambling and safeguard vulnerable players. The industry, government, operators and manufacturers are all committed to ensuring player protection and it was great to demonstrate at ICE how accurate age verification can play a key role. We showed how easy and intuitive it is to receive alerts via a tablet or mobile device whenever someone potentially underage or even self-excluded is trying to play a machine or access an age restricted area at multiple touchpoints.”

Dr Andrew O’Brien, Biometrics Product Manager, said: “Major UK OEMs including Inspired and Reflex have already successfully installed our ICU Lite age verification solution into their gaming cabinets so it was fantastic to see some of them demo this fully integrated on site at ICE. We were also pleased to show a team of compliance and local authority officers our solutions following their visit to the GBG (Gambling Business Group) stand which demonstrated ICU Lite working in an Inspired machine. A key advantage of our technology is that customers only need to pay for the hardware with unlimited age checks at no extra cost. No matter how many age checks are performed, the cost remains the same, making this an affordable solution with a quick return on investment, especially when compared to a subscription service. Plus it’s a completely offline solution meaning all processing is done locally making our solution faster, readily accessible even with no or poor internet and with no privacy issues to worry about either.”

ITL also had a section of their stand dedicated to their traditional cash handling equipment that includes note and coin validators and recyclers which have been used by the gaming industry for over 30 years.

Marcus said: “It was great to show ICE visitors our latest devices for secure cash transactions including the NV4000 and new coin elevator module for the SMART Coin System (SCS). The NV4000 mixed denomination multi bill recycler is ideal for change and redemption terminals, boasting larger recycling capacities, meaning fewer refills and improved machine uptime. Combining the NV4000 with the new elevator module for the SCS, not only can we provide a complete payment solution for both notes and coins, but we can also minimise the gap between coin entry and exit points, improving accessibility and the overall customer experience.”

Marcus added: “There was a real buzz on the stand this year and our team are excited to follow up on all the positive conversations that took place to ensure our gaming customers have the best possible cash validation and age estimation solutions in place. We are proud to be a long-standing supporter of ICE and look forward to celebrating our 30th year exhibiting in Barcelona in 2025.”

Britain’s Black Market Betting to Hit £33B by 2028 as Forecasts Show One in Five Stakes Could Go Illegal

Published

The amount staked with illegal gambling operators in the UK is forecast to almost double by 2028, according to new independent analysis.

Research by H2 Gambling Capital (H2GC) shows black market stakes are expected to surge from £17bn in 2025 to more than £33bn by 2028.

That means almost one fifth (19.2%) of all online betting and gaming stakes could be placed with unsafe, unregulated black market operators within three years.

The Betting and Gaming Council warned the figures underline the growing scale and speed of the illegal gambling market, which operates outside UK rules, pays no tax, and offers none of the safer gambling protections required of licensed operators.

Grainne Hurst, Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, said: “These forecasts are a wake-up call. The black market is not a distant threat, it is growing fast, becoming more visible, and attracting billions of pounds in stakes from British customers.

“By 2028, almost one in five pounds staked online could be with illegal operators. These sites pay no UK tax, support no British jobs, and offer none of the protections that exist in the regulated sector.

“The lesson for policymakers is clear. If the regulated market is made less competitive through higher taxes or intrusive checks, customers will not stop betting, they will simply move to the black market.

“As the Gambling Commission considers financial risk assessments, it is vital that any checks are genuinely frictionless and targeted. Any policy that unintentionally drives even more customers towards illegal operators will undermine player safety and damage the regulated sector.

“That is why ministers and regulators must avoid measures that hand an advantage to the black market.”

The regulated betting and gaming sector supports 109,000 jobs, contributes £6.8bn to the economy, generates £4bn in tax each year and provides vital funding for sports, including horseracing.
