International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) Announces 2025 International Gaming Summit in Berlin, Germany
The International Association of Gaming Advisors (IAGA) will hold its 42nd International Gaming Summit Monday, June 9 through Thursday, June 12, 2025 at The Ritz-Carlton Berlin. As a premier event that brings together leaders from all global gaming sectors, the Summit will provide operators, suppliers, attorneys, investors, bankers, regulators and other advisor delegates with an unparalleled opportunity to meet and discuss the most important issues facing gaming.
“We are looking forward to holding our 2025 Annual International Gaming Summit in Berlin, a historic city with a vibrant art and culinary scene. Our 2025 agenda addresses numerous issues of critical importance including the growing illegal market, the potential impact of AI across gaming operations, the progression of online casinos and navigating due diligence challenges in M&A transactions. Additionally, our agenda again includes a full-day focused on issues unique to sports betting operations, including a current look at the state of advertising restrictions, growing conflicts of interest, and a session focused on lessons learned from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the Euro Cup in Germany,” Jeff Barbin, IAGA President and a Partner with Phelps.
Barbin continued: “We are also pleased to announce that as part of the Summit, we will be launching a new initiative focused on building relationships between global gambling and betting regulators and major sports governing bodies. Our Sports and Wagering Integrity Coalition working group will focus on identifying collaborative ways that regulators and sport governing authorities can address growing threats to sports integrity and sports wagering and collaboratively identify ways to build stronger relationships to confront these threats. During the Coalition’s first closed-door workshop, experts from each stakeholder group will share unique challenges they face, highlighting ways that each side can better collaborate to protect game integrity and sport wagering and address the growing threats posed by the illegal gambling market. With major global events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics and the 2031 Rugby World Cup coming to the United States, we believe it’s critical that both industries deepen their collaboration to address the growing challenges each side faces.”

E-Service steps up UK distribution of ITL MyCheckr age estimation tech
ITL says uptake is being driven by retail and amusement events and discussions with regional police forces.
E-Service is increasing UK distribution of Innovative Technology’s (ITL) age estimation and access control products, with the companies pointing to growing demand for ITL’s MyCheckr device.
The partnership between ITL and E-Service dates back to 2004, with E-Service operating as ITL’s UK Trading Partner and Approved Service Centre. ITL said the current momentum is “mainly driven by an uptake of Innovative’s MyCheckr age estimation technology.”
Andy Bullock, Senior Business Development Manager for ITL, said, “E-Service are really flying the flag for our MyCheckr device representing the brand at various UK events. The technology has become a real talking point following our recent presence at the National Convenience Show (NCS) in Birmingham and The Amusement & Retail Entertainment (ARE) in Manchester, and earlier EAG shows in London. We have jointly attended a number of regional BACTA meetings recently introducing the capabilities of MyCheckr to the gaming sector to help with compliance and player protection and we are delighted with the feedback and potential opportunities that have arisen. Plus we are in talks with regional police forces about using MyCheckr to help local convenience stores avoid fines or potential closure for selling age-restricted products to minors.”
Bullock added, “Our age verification technology is simple to operate and install. MyCheckr can be easily placed at any 18+ entrance or our other age estimation device, ICU Lite, can be fully integrated into gaming or SCO machines using a simple API. To help operators manage access we have developed MyConnect which sends alerts to staff via an app to notify them of a potential underage play or self-excluded entry which can be remotely granted or denied.”
Paul Scott, Sales Director at E-Service, said, “It’s been a pleasure working with ITL over the past years. Our relationship has always been strong, and we’ve successfully distributed their leading note validation and recycling products including the NV9 Spectral, Spectral Payout and NV22 Spectral throughout the market for several years now. ITL’s expansion into age assurance technology represents a really exciting time for us as we are delighted to be part of this journey.”

Paysafe integrates with Primer to handle card payments for merchants
Paysafe is live on Primer’s Primer for Partners program and is already processing transactions for merchants across North America, Europe and Australasia.
Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE) has integrated with Primer, connecting to the payment orchestration platform via Primer’s no-code Primer for Partners program to provide card payment processing for online merchants using Primer globally.
The companies said the integration allows merchants on Primer to route credit and debit card transactions to Paysafe as a payment service provider. Paysafe said it is already processing payments through Primer for merchants with a presence across North America, Europe and Australasia.
Paysafe said it tailored the integration to support international merchants across industries including iGaming, social gaming, financial trading, eCommerce and travel. Primer for Partners, which Primer launched in December 2025, allowed Paysafe’s tech team to manage the integration “without the need for any coding,” according to the companies.
Rob Gatto, Chief Revenue Officer at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Primer, whose Primer for Partners solution empowered Paysafe to develop a bespoke integration, streamlining the payment journey for Primer’s merchant partners and their customers. We look forward to strengthening our offering within the Primer infrastructure and growing our presence across the broader payment orchestration space.”
Gabriel Le Roux, CEO and Co-founder of Primer, commented: “Paysafe joining Primer for Partners is exactly what this solution was built for. The company came to us, built its own integration from the ground up, and Paysafe is already live and processing payments for our merchants. That’s the paradigm shift we set out to create. For our merchants, having Paysafe accessible through Primer means more choice, better coverage, and faster access to a payment provider that’s been optimizing card performance for decades.”
Paysafe said it plans to expand the integration over time, including adding local payment methods such as Skrill and Neteller, plus PaysafeCard and PaysafeCash.
