IGSA 2020 Report: “Conversations” YouTube Series, New Online Gaming & Regulatory Standards, GSA Japan Grows
The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) is working alongside the Gaming Industry to adjust to our new normal. IGSA worked quickly early in the year to turn our 2020 strategy into one that would continue to support the industry during these challenging times.
For education, IGSA continues to produce the YouTube Webinar Series, “IGSA Conversations.” The program features nine educational webinars for a total of 24 videos. Members and non-members can enjoy the completed 13 videos and three live webinars on IGSA’s YouTube Channel. In addition, IGSA released a new product sheet, Covid-19 Operational Safety Enhancements, to protect regulators and reduce liability for operators. IGSA also released a new white paper, Secure Wireless connectivity for EGM and Systems, and authored a new Regulatory Handbook on IGSA Standards.
In technical work, IGSA is set to release two new standards. The long-anticipated Regulatory Reporting Interface standard (RRI) 1.0. RRI is a set of standardized reporting requirements that meet the core needs of the regulatory community while being flexible enough to allow extensions for jurisdiction-specific needs. The online gaming standard Third-Party Game Interface (TPI) 1.5, is the version of the standards now being used in the field which reflects input from the reduction to practice of TPI v1.0.
In partnership with GSA Europe and IAGR, IGSA first led the CEN Technical Committee 456 to a successful completion of the draft CEN Online Gambling Reporting standard – currently being translated into three languages. IGSA also contributed articles on regulatory issues to the IAGR newsletter for the regulatory community.
Finally, IGSA joins GSA Japan in welcoming its first Silver member, Mongterang International Inc.
There is an IGSA level of membership to fit every budget. For more information, visit IGSA at IGSA.org. For educational information on standards and technologies, visit IGSA’s YouTube Channel and subscribe for updates.

BOYLE Sports extends West Ham United front-of-shirt deal for 2026/27
Logo will appear on West Ham’s Men’s and Women’s home, away and training kits under the Principal Partner agreement.
BOYLE Sports will continue as West Ham United’s front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 season, the company said today. The BOYLE Sports logo will feature on the club’s Men’s and Women’s team home, away and training kits.
The extension keeps BOYLE Sports in place as West Ham’s Principal Partner into 2026/27. The company said it will continue supporter-facing activity across matchdays, digital channels and other club moments.
BOYLE Sports pointed to a “strong first year” of the multi-year partnership, including a scarf giveaway ahead of the first home match of the season and two editions of its ‘Shirt Swap’ activation.
BOYLE Sports CEO, Vlad Kaltenieks said: “West Ham United is one of the most recognisable clubs in English football, with a proud history and a passionate fanbase. We were proud to begin our partnership last season, but this is only the start and we look forward to an exciting season ahead.”
West Ham United’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Karim Virani, added: “We’re delighted to have BOYLE Sports continue as our front of shirt partner as part of the multi-year Principal Partnership. As we enter an exciting new era for the club and prepare for a pivotal season, it matters that our commercial partners share the same passion and drive that we have for our loyal fans. BOYLE Sports has approached the partnership in that spirit, and we look forward to continuing to work with them.”

Quantum buys Cashback.co.uk and Custard rewards brands from Submission Technology
Quantum has agreed to acquire Cashback.co.uk, JoinCustard.co.uk and the Custard mobile app from Submission Technology, with the transaction set to complete on 1 July 2026. The deal adds two consumer rewards brands to Quantum’s portfolio and marks its entry into the digital rewards and cashback segment.
Cashback.co.uk operates as a UK cashback platform, while JoinCustard.co.uk launched in October 2024 as a digital rewards and gifting platform. The Custard mobile app is included as part of the acquisition.
Quantum said the acquisition expands its footprint beyond affiliate marketing into direct-to-consumer rewards products. The buyer pointed to 36% year-on-year revenue growth in 2025 and recent launches in Ireland, South Africa and multiple US states, adding that it now operates across the UK, US, Ireland and South Africa.
Jamie Walters, CEO of Quantum International Holdings, said: “Cashback and Custard are proven platforms with loyal users, clear product-market fit, and strong commercial potential. What they need now is scale, and that is where Quantum can add real value.
“We have the data, technology, and performance mindset to grow these platforms quickly and responsibly. This is a bold move into a fast-growing consumer rewards space, and a natural next step in our ambition to connect more people with better value across the digital economy.”
Quantum said its Qi Platform will support the acquired assets through faster product iteration, improved personalisation and deeper insight into user behaviour, with its in-house data engineering, machine learning and software engineering teams supporting integration.
Neil Durrant, CEO of Submission Technology, said: “We built Cashback and Custard from the ground up, and we are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved. Quantum is the right home for these platforms.
“Their technology, commercial relationships and ambition make them well placed to take Cashback and Custard to a much bigger audience. It is an exciting next chapter for both businesses.” Financial terms were not disclosed.
