IGSA Announces New Membership Structure and Dues
The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has announced it will overhaul its membership structure and annual dues. Replacing the decades old membership structure of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels will be a new model designed to be more inclusive and make membership more affordable while providing each membership level with more privileges.
“While our membership levels have been stable, the industry has changed dramatically. The board of directors wants to expand IGSA and increase inclusivity by making membership affordable to companies from every facet of the industry, including large and small suppliers, content providers, tech-sector companies, and operators,” said Nimish Purohit, Chairman of IGSA.
“The new membership structure and dues is the result of the feedback from in-depth interviews conducted with current, former, and prospective members. Having the ability to impact in-committee actions across membership levels and making membership more attainable were key messages received. That is why we have added membership rights and lowered our dues range from the previous $11,200 to $89,500 to a much more reasonable $5,000 to $50,000,” said Mark Pace, President of IGSA.
In summary, the new membership structure is as follows:
Director Level – for companies looking to set the overall IGSA strategic direction
Industry Level – for companies operating in both the land-based and online sectors
Vertical Level – for companies operating in either the land-based or online sectors
Operator Level – for land-based or online casino and sports betting operators
Committee Level – for companies looking to participate in only one or two committees
The new structure provides an opportunity for most levels to be a part of the board of directors after elections, and in-committee voting on IGSA’s work efforts is open to all committee members.

Jackpot.com has launched real-money player-vs-player (PvP) skill games and tournaments through a new partnership with B2B skill games platform THNDR. The games are now live in Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio via the Jackpot.com app on iOS and Android.
Under the rollout, Jackpot.com users can play head-to-head skill titles including Solitaire and Blocks, as well as tournament formats intended to drive repeat engagement alongside draw games and scratch tickets.
“Jackpot.com is the first big operators in real-money gaming to put skill games in front of its players, and launches at this scale are how skill gaming goes mainstream,” said Desiree Dickerson, CEO and co-founder of THNDR. Dickerson added that THNDR’s network has seen “more than 160 million games played and verified” and cited a “99.99% match-fill rate.”
THNDR said its cross-operator liquidity matches players against “a real opponent” and uses “patent-pending game verification and a 50/50 target win rate” for match integrity. The company also positioned the offering as compliance-ready for regulated operators, noting that its CEO chairs the Online Skill Games (OSG) Committee within the International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA).
“Jackpot.com has always believed the future of gaming is a single platform where every type of player finds their game. The launch of skill games and tournaments is the next step in that vision: expanding how players engage, giving them more reasons to return, and more ways to win,” said Dharin Nanavati, Chief Growth Officer at Jackpot.com.
