Tipico, Germany’s leading sports betting and online gaming provider, has released its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report outlines Tipico’s measurable progress in responsible gaming, compliance, people development and environmental sustainability.

Championing Responsible Gaming

At Tipico, running a successful gaming business means having a strong focus on player protection, because this is essential for long-term business sustainability. The KPI to measure the protection of vulnerable customers considers any turnover generated by customers who would later self-exclude or be excluded before they were identified and given the protection they require. In 2024, Tipico brought this value below 1.5% of turnover, and aims to stay consistently on this low level.

Tipico also launched its first national responsible gaming TV campaign, reaching over four million viewers across sports broadcasts and social media. Also, the company continued to invest in research, and treatment programs and to publish annual scientific evaluations of its player protection concept.

Investing in People

As a responsible employer, Tipico continues to invest in its more than 2300 employees from 87 nations. The company supports the development of staff through clear career paths and robust learning initiatives. That’s why more than 15,000 training hours were delivered across the organization. Tipico focuses on fair compensation, transparent career paths and targeted leadership development – with the goal of remaining an attractive employer in a competitive market.

On Track for Carbon Neutrality by 2030

Tipico is also making measurable progress in climate protection. Germany’s leading sports betting and online gaming provider continues advancing along its roadmap to eliminate Scope 1 and 2 CO₂e emissions by 2030. Last year Tipico managed to reduce Scope 2 CO₂e emissions by 41% compared to 2023, which brings the company another step closer to its long-term ambition toward carbon neutrality.

In 2024, for the first time, Tipico also measured waste generation and increased recycling rates in the offices in Malta, Karlsruhe, and Munich, with plans to expand this initiative to other offices and Tipico shops. This initiative was part of its preparation for ISO 14001 implementation and audit, for which the company received certification in 2025.

Axel Hefer, CEO of Tipico, said: “This ESG report reflects our commitment to long-term value creation for all stakeholders, and it shows that growth and responsibility go hand in hand at Tipico. We are very proud of the progress we’ve made in 2024 – the year of the UEFA Euro.”

Christian Wurzinger, CFO of Tipico, said: “Our ESG strategy is about building a sustainable, forward-looking organization, that puts people first and sets consumer protection, integrity and our people at the core of all our operations. Our achievements in responsible gaming and the ongoing development of our teams are a strong testament to this commitment.”

Ygam has now surpassed the milestone of reaching an estimated five million children and young people across the UK through its portfolio of prevention programmes.

Founded in 2014, Ygam has now delivered its award-winning training and resources on gaming and gambling harms to over 32,000 delegates.

Ygam’s reach extends beyond the education sector, with training delivered to more than 5,500 professionals working across health and social care — including hospitals, health boards, GP surgeries, and community nursing settings. This work, aligned with a public health approach to preventing gambling harms, has directly contributed to the digital safeguarding of nearly half a million children and young people accessing health services.

With growing concerns from parents and carers about the role of gaming and gambling in the wider online safety conversation, Ygam has become a trusted and respected source of advice and guidance for families. The charity has delivered workshops to more than 4,500 parents and carers. 

Ygam is a national charity with a footprint across every region of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, and a presence in 64 of the UK’s 76 cities. 

Ygam’s work has also seen a significant increase in the longevity of its reach, with nearly 100,000 resource downloads of its award-winning resources, and at least 50% of educators implementing these materials into their lessons. 

Helen Martin, Interim CEO of Ygam, said: “This milestone is more than just a number – it’s a reflection of the positive impact we’re making in every corner of the UK. We’re incredibly proud of the growing community that shares our passion for safeguarding children’s wellbeing in an increasingly complex digital world, where gaming and gambling are more accessible than ever. From schools to sports clubs, parents to practitioners, and colleges to community centres, we’re raising awareness through the powerful tool of education. As we mark this extraordinary achievement, the demand for our resources has never been greater. We remain committed to expanding our reach and deepening our impact, ensuring that every child has the knowledge and confidence to navigate the risks of gaming and gambling harms.”

But there’s so much more to do – help us reach the next 5 million…

Introducing Prize Ladder from Northern Lights Gaming

Studio’s latest classic slot delivers exhilarating bonus action against a glamorous TV gameshow backdrop, with cascading reels adding to the excitement 

Have you got what it takes to take on the Prize Ladder and come out on top? That’s the question players must answer before taking on the latest classic slot title from in-demand content house, Northern Lights Gaming.

Bright lights and big wins are the order of the day in Prize Ladder, a game-show style blockbuster that promises twists and turns from the very first game round to the last. 

Set on a vibrant stage with dazzling neon lights and a booming announcer voice, this ANYWAYS Rolling Reels™ game pays both left-to-right and right-to-left. 

ANYWAYS Rolling Reels is triggered on any win and kick-starts a cascade where winning symbols are removed and new ones roll in, opening up chances for more consecutive wins.

The excitement builds with the Prize Ladder™ itself, which increases the value of winning symbols with every consecutive cascade in a single spin. And if a Padlock symbol lands on the final cascade, those juicy symbol values get locked in for the next spin.

This wouldn’t be a Northern Lights Gaming slot without a glitzy Free Spins bonus, which gets triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land. This gets the player eight Free Games with the Awards Cards held for the duration.

Then there’s the Super Spins, which are triggered when the player lands a full reel of the same symbol with Star overprints on reels one or five.

One whole reel of the same symbol also has a chance to trigger the Super Spins. The reels then spin in more of that symbol across the reels. Each position that is not held, spins, with either the triggering symbol, blank or Scatters.

Additional symbols and Scatters that land are held on the reels, and for each Super Spin, the Prize Ladder award rolls up one level.

Now for the Buy the Bonus options – players can Booster Buy, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins, Super Spins and the Padlock Bonus, or they can opt for the Bonus Buy to head straight to the Free Spins, Super Spins or Super Free Spins.

Chris Loftus CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Prize Ladder is a classic slot that plays more like a bonus-heavy video slot. It’s a game that’s all about the glitz and glamour, and climbing that ladder to unlock the game’s biggest bonuses and wins.

“The entire team has really pulled together for Prize Ladder, and the result is a visually striking slot with gameplay that gets pulses racing thanks to a smart combination of mechanics and bonuses, including some of our unique in-house features like Rolling Reels.

“Think your players are ready to take on the Prize Ladder? There’s only one way to find out.”
