Women in Esports launches women-only tournaments with FACEIT and separate community Discord
The British Esports Association, the not-for-profit organisation set up to promote and support grassroots esports, has partnered with FACEIT, the world’s leading platform for competitive online gaming, as part of its ongoing Women in Esports initiative.
Women in Esports will have its own organiser page on FACEIT and will create women-only tournaments and hubs. The Women in Esports initiative aims to create a welcoming community which encourages more women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to take part in esports tournaments at any level.
Women-only tournaments are viewed by Women in Esports as a stepping stone to give women more confidence and experience to then aim for further involvement in other tournaments (mixed or otherwise) in the future.
The organiser page will initially focus on Counter Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO) as the first title for tournaments and hubs, primarily due to the fantastic female community prevalent on FACEIT for this title. The variety of tournaments and hubs will later expand with future pilots for other titles.
The first 5v5 CS:GO tournament, The Lioness League, will open for registrations on Friday November 27th and occur on Saturday December 12th. There will be a max of 32 teams in a single elimination bracket. Participants will be able to join as a premade team or join as a solo player and form a team. The prize will be 3000 FACEIT points: 2000 points for the winning team, and 1000 points for second place. This will be the start of regular monthly tournaments.
Our CS:GO hub will enable players to create teams and scrim against each other. The hubs will be private by application, open to women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to join.
Women in Esports has also created its own separate community Discord server to further its aim of providing an inclusive community space. The server will be public and open to everyone, with many social channels, announcements, an industry section, along with specific tournament chat. It will be vetted, moderated and constantly updated as per feedback and changes in line with the initiative.
“We’re delighted to partner with Women in Esports, a team that shares our passions and values. FACEIT is committed to developing grassroots opportunities and supporting the community. We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident when taking their first steps into esports and we’re hoping this hub will offer a safe space for women to come together and compete,” said Sue Lavasani, Account Manager at FACEIT.
Alice Leaman, Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer at British Esports, said: “Through Women in Esports we aim to build a community and encourage more women to get involved in the industry. By partnering with FACEIT we can start to develop more regular tournaments and opportunities for all skill levels and the creation of a community Discord will provide a dedicated space for diversity in esports to be celebrated.”

New Slotegrator solution offers fastest time to market in iGaming
Slotegrator’s One-Click Casino, a preconfigured, ready-to-run iGaming business solution, now offers the fastest time to market in iGaming, with new projects ready to launch in as little as five business days*. The company will demo the new solution at stand S44 at iGB L!VE on July 1-2.
Slotegrator’s One-Click Casino, a preconfigured turnkey online casino platform, is now the fastest solution available to operators looking to start an iGaming project. One-Click Casino cuts the launch timeline for new projects to as short as five business days* with the use of backoffice presets. A demo of the new solution will be available at iGB L!VE on July 1-2, at the company’s stand, S44.
New operators choose turnkey solutions in order to accelerate their launch; however, the client is still responsible for configuring many aspects of the platform. The new One-Click Casino shortens the timeline even further with preconfigured projects featuring unique frontends based on player preferences in different markets and regions, making for a faster and more cost-effective launch.
One-Click Casino has presets for bonus systems, payment service providers, anti-fraud triggers, game content, and more, though the frontend is still customizable. The launch timeframe assumes the operator is already licensed. License acquisition can extend the timeline, but Slotegrator also offers license acquisition services.
“One-Click Casino removes many of the barriers that operators face when starting a new online casino,” says Maksym Shtun, product owner at Slotegrator. “Speed and flexibility are everything in iGaming. By preconfiguring so much of the backend, we’ve made it faster and easier than ever for new operators to start their project.”
An extensive launch timeline can sink a project, as every day that passes without generating revenue is a drain on investment. Operators can easily spend substantial sums before the first bet has even been placed, due to the costs associated with license acquisition, platform setup, developing a team, and integrating games and payment systems.
One-Click Casino has four types of available bonuses, with thumbnails, amounts, and wagering, as well as a Wheel of Fortune and cashback, including preset percentage and activation triggers. Multi-level loyalty programs are also available, as well as game categorization, such as new, top, and bonus-eligible games.
The solution’s preconfigured anti-fraud system includes behavior and IP analysis, as well as automatic multi-accounting checks at registration. Bonus preconfigurations include bonus group limits based on player profiles, mandatory verification before bonuses are awarded.
As an added bonus, the solution includes a preconfigured Telegram bot, to run an alternate frontend through the popular encrypted messenger app.
One-Click Casino is ideal for entrepreneurs who are looking to launch a new iGaming project but are put off by the costs, technical complexity, and launch timeline, such as operators of crypto or Web3 projects who’ve built a community but need a way to monetize it.
*Final timeline depends on client’s technical readiness, chosen market of operation, and licensing status.

Altenar to Showcase UK-Focused Sportsbook Solutions at iGB L!VE London 2026
Leading sportsbook provider Altenar will attend iGB L!VE London 2026 to meet with industry stakeholders and discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping one of the world’s most mature and competitive regulated gambling jurisdictions.
According to the latest data published by the UK Gambling Commission, online real-event betting generated £530 million in Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) during Q4 2025, underlining the scale of the UK’s regulated sports betting sector and the ongoing demand for high-performance sportsbook products.
Against this backdrop, operators are under increasing pressure to differentiate their offering, maximise player lifetime value, and remain fully compliant with evolving regulatory requirements.
Altenar’s sportsbook is designed to address these challenges through flexible technology, advanced trading capabilities, localisation tools, and a comprehensive suite of engagement and retention features.
The platform enables operators to launch and scale efficiently while delivering tailored betting experiences that resonate with UK audiences.
Giannis Papakonstantinou, Account Management Director at Altenar, said:
“The challenge in the UK is no longer simply entering the market. Operators need to acquire players efficiently, retain them for longer, and remain fully compliant in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment. Our role is to provide the technology, flexibility, and operational expertise that help partners achieve exactly that.
“Every operator faces different challenges, whether that’s managing multiple brands, improving sportsbook engagement, or creating stronger connections between casino and sports betting. At Altenar, we work closely with our partners to deliver solutions that support sustainable growth and long-term success.”
Altenar recently published a case study with L&L Europe, a UK-focused multi-brand operator, demonstrating how a scalable sportsbook strategy helped support rapid growth across its portfolio.
Altenar’s sales, account management, and senior leadership teams will be available at the expo. Attendees are invited to book a meeting with the Altenar team and visit stand P65 to discuss how operators can strengthen their position in today’s highly competitive UK market.
