YGAM to confirm future strategy at ICE London showcase

Published

on

 

YGAM, the UK-based charity that works to inform, educate and safeguard young people against problematic gambling and social gaming, will be using its appearance at ICE London (4-6 February, ExCeL London, UK) to outline to the industry the ambitious targets it has set for 2020. Under the leadership of chief executive and co-founder Lee Willows, YGAM has set out an agenda which will see it work with at least 3,000 educational organisations to deliver practitioner workshops, engaging with approximately 600,000 young and vulnerable people in 2020. It will also seek to extend its student programme to 25 universities, reaching approximately 175,000 students, as well as establishing a target of reaching a minimum of 5,000 parents in 2020. YGAM’s trading subsidiary YGAM Innovation will continue to provide best-in-class, City & Guilds certified training to customer facing colleagues in the gambling industry and related sectors in collaboration with Betknowmore UK.

Speaking ahead of YGAM’s appearance as part of the Consumer Protection Zone at ICE London, Lee Willows said: “2020 is YGAM’s sixth anniversary and we feel that is well-worth celebrating. We have an exemplar team of 26 employees, which is due to increase to 42 in Q1. Working in collaboration with members of the Betting & Gaming Council and GamCare, we are going to deploy a high-population, national education programme that will see us jointly deliver at least one session of gambling awareness to all 11-19 year olds in Britain over the next four years.

“Our Parent and Families work will be enhanced with support from Lottoland, whom we worked with in 2019 to develop a pilot with the support of Playtech. We will be working with GVC and Ascot to further develop our university and student engagement work and we are particularly keen to use our attendance at ICE London to talk to other operators who would be happy to work with YGAM and, in the process, enable us to extend this work further.”

He added: “YGAM has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Clarion Gaming and, without doubt, ICE London provides an exceptional platform for charities to further raise awareness of their social purpose and to thank their supporters. With initiatives such as the Consumer Protection Zone and the pop-up talks around safer gambling and social responsibility across the show floor, ICE London continues to pioneer, lead and set the benchmark. It enables all organisations to not only take stock of current issues but, as importantly, to plan for the future.”

CasinoCanada has announced a strategic partnership with MelBet, the international betting and gaming operator, aimed at expanding the brand’s footprint in Canada through dedicated content and brand representation on CasinoCanada’s digital platforms.

Under the agreement, CasinoCanada.com will produce detailed reviews and SEO-focused content tailored to Canadian audiences. The partnership is designed to provide users with clear, transparent information about MelBet’s products and services, while enhancing the operator’s visibility in Canada and driving traffic to the MelBet website.

CasinoCanada is operated by SEOBROTHERS, and Eugene Ravdin, Head of PR, said:

“MelBet operates across multiple international markets and has established a consistent presence in the iGaming industry. Through CasinoCanada, we will focus on delivering clear, data-based content tailored to users in Canada and quality traffic to the MelBet website. This partnership is structured around transparent communication and long-term cooperation.”

MelBet offers daily betting on over 1,000 events across sports and esports, alongside a wide range of slots from more than 120 global providers. The brand has earned multiple accolades, including Best Online Gambling Operator (EVENTUS 2023), Best Affiliate Program (SiGMA Africa Awards 2024), and Live Casino of the Year (AffPapa iGaming Awards 2024).

The operator’s high-profile sports partnerships feature legends such as Andrés Iniesta, Didier Drogba, and Kamaru Usman.

Hub88 launches Player Analytics to give operators complete view of user behaviour

Hub88 has enhanced its Operator Backoffice suite with the launch of Player Analytics, a tool designed to provide operators with a clear, actionable view of player behaviour across their platform.

Traditionally, understanding player activity has been a manual, time-consuming process, often requiring data to be pulled from multiple systems or spreadsheets. Player Analytics consolidates this information into a single interface, improving efficiency and enabling data-driven decision-making.

The tool offers two main interfaces:

  • Table View: Provides broad segmentation and filtering across the entire player base. Operators can sort players by date, product, country, device, currency, or player ID, and save custom segments for ongoing analysis.

  • Player Profile: Delivers a detailed overview of individual users, including gameplay history, KPIs, supplier activity, devices, currencies, geography, and flagged events — all presented via customizable charts and dashboards.

With advanced insights, operators can detect financial spikes or drops, analyze behavioural trends, forecast churn, and identify potential fraud. Linking supplier IDs directly to player activity also helps operators spot inconsistencies and streamline support processes.

Ollie Castleman, Managing Director of Hub88, commented:

“With high volumes of player activity, modern operators are often overwhelmed by raw data. Player Analytics gives teams the ability to understand player behaviour at both a high level and in granular detail, without relying on manual processes or specialists. Operators deserve clarity, speed and actionable insight, and through this new tool, they can make smarter decisions with confidence.”

The launch of Player Analytics reinforces Hub88’s commitment to providing operators with tools that enhance efficiency, support long-term growth, and maximize platform performance.

155.io, the live content studio pioneering real-world gameplay, has launched its brand-new CCTV-based game, Rush Hour, with major operators Stake, Shuffle, and Roobet.

Part of 155.io’s CCTV.game portfolio, Rush Hour turns live traffic footage from around the globe into a fast-paced betting experience. Players predict outcomes like how many cars pass a junction or which direction vehicles take in under-a-minute rounds, creating unpredictable, real-world gameplay rather than relying on traditional RNG.

The game has already generated over 5 million views from a single streamer and is designed mobile-first, offering immersive, relatable action that appeals to the next generation of players. Available via Hub88 or direct integration, Rush Hour reflects 155.io’s philosophy: real-world chaos, simple games, mobile-first entertainment.

Sam Jones, Founder & CEO of 155.io, said: “The speed at which our live CCTV.game, Rush Hour, has become a phenomenon is crazy. Being taken on by big names like Stake, Shuffle and Roobet highlights the level of demand we’re seeing from the next generation of players. The data we are seeing from around the world is incredible, and it’s clear we’re building something that genuinely resonates with audiences looking for innovative concepts, rather than the same types of games we have seen for years.”
