  • Veloce Racing driver goes ‘back to school’ to inspire the next generation
  • 22-year-old discusses topics including education, sustainability and gender equality
  • Virtual visit to mark United Nations’ International Day of Education
  • Zoom class comes at an unprecedented time for educational norms

In celebration of the third annual United Nations International Day of Education, Veloce Racing Extreme E driver Jamie Chadwick went ‘back to school’ today (25 January) to talk to students at Harris Academy Battersea. Chadwick engaged with the students at length around her career and the new challenge she faces in the pioneering all-electric off-road series.

As a consequence of COVID-19, 1.5 billion young people have been impacted by school closures across 184 countries globally. In the UK, this has led to the vast majority of students currently being home-schooled. Now, more than ever, educational establishments are looking for exciting and inspirational activities to ensure children and teenagers remain focussed and engaged in their lessons.

With support from Girls on Track UK – a Motorsport UK initiative supporting the participation of women in motorsport – 22-year-old Williams F1 Development driver Chadwick was able to engage with over 300 Harris Academy Battersea students for a truly unique educational experience via video call.

As the inaugural W Series Champion and one of nine female drivers in Extreme E, Jamie was perfectly-placed to discuss topical subjects such as careers, gender equality, sustainability and climate change with students, prompting a great deal of enthusiastic discussion.

Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing, said: 

“It was fun being able to talk to students who were so inquisitive about what I do and the series I race in. I really enjoyed answering their questions and I have to say a big ‘thank you’ to Girls on Track for helping to make this possible!

“I think it’s so important to inspire the next generation regarding some of the biggest subjects in today’s world like education, gender equality and climate change, especially during such difficult times for all of us. I hope it gets them all thinking about these issues and ways in which we can make a difference.”

Mr Carr, Vice Principal, Harris Academy Battersea, added: 

“The students had a fantastic time hearing about Jamie’s experience, her passion for her sport and career and her insight into her exciting new challenge with Veloce Racing and Extreme E. She is clearly a rising star in the sport and a great role model for young people, and she was very knowledgeable and really grabbed their attention from the word ‘go’.

“I think I speak for everyone when I say we thoroughly enjoyed Jamie’s virtual visit today and would love to welcome her back when she is able to visit the school in person!”

Sue Sanders, Director of Learning and Development, Motorsport UK commented: 

“Girls on Track UK is delighted to have been instrumental in Jamie’s virtual visit today at the Harris Academy.  With an already impressive list of achievements to her name, as well as her role as a Girls on Track UK ambassador, Jamie is undoubtedly a brilliant and motivational role model for all young people.

“Jamie’s imminent debut racing for Veloce in Extreme E certainly made for enthusiastic and topical conversation with the pupils, particularly around equality and sustainability within motorsport, which was really inspiring to see.

“A huge thank you to Harris Academy, to Jamie and to Veloce for making this happen today – and  we really look forward to a Girls on Track UK event in-person at the school just as soon as restrictions are lifted.”

The Isle of Man: Where eGaming Software Businesses Are Thriving

Published

on

the-isle-of-man:-where-egaming-software-businesses-are-thriving

Introduction

The global eGaming industry is highly competitive, technologically driven and heavily regulated. For software providers operating in this space, choosing the right jurisdiction is critical to long-term success. The Isle of Man is trusted by industry-leading suppliers such as Microgaming, Games Global, 3Oaks, Arrise (Pragmatic Play), and Altenar, to name a few, and has established itself as one of the world’s leading hubs for eGaming through a unique combination of tax efficiency, regulatory credibility, stability and technological infrastructure. This article explores the key advantages of being located on the Isle of Man.

Competitive Tax Environment

One of the most compelling reasons to base an eGaming software company in the Isle of Man is its favourable tax regime. Suppliers based on the Island receive the following advantages to maximise profitability and support international expansion:

  • 0% Corporation Tax
  • 0% Capital Gains Tax
  • 0% Inheritance Tax

Reputation and Credibility

The Isle of Man is widely recognised as a tier one licensing jurisdiction. The Gambling Supervision Commission’s (GSC) enforcement of strict compliance standards means that attaining a licence is a testament to the integrity and good standing of the supplier. Licensed suppliers gain reputational benefits, which in turn create greater opportunities to engage with partners, including operators, aggregators, banks, and payment providers.

For more information regarding the Isle of Man’s software supplier licence, Global Gaming Solutions has released other articles explaining in detail what distinguishes the Island from other licensing options.

However, for Isle of Man software suppliers, a licence is not a mandatory requirement. This places the Isle of Man in an ideal position for startup suppliers, offering unique tax, infrastructure and Government driven financial incentives, with an attractive opportunity to expand into the regulated sector once their concept and strategy are proven.

Playzia, a client of Global Gaming Solutions, has leveraged this opportunity to establish operations in the Isle of Man and has built the brand into a recognised international name, partnering with leading operators and securing exclusive titles such as Love Island.

Access to Global Markets

eGaming software companies based in the Isle of Man enjoy significant operational flexibility. As an outward-facing jurisdiction, the Island maintains a strong international reputation (particularly across Europe and Asia), and obtaining a local licence does not restrict suppliers’ target markets outside sanctioned or blacklisted jurisdictions or those with local regulatory regimes. As such, the Isle of Man provides suppliers with the reach needed to establish their brands in a global market.

In an industry where market access can determine success, an Isle of Man company, and more so a licence holder, has greater access to key partners through its reputation and credibility than “competitor” jurisdictions such as Curacao, Belize, Anjouan and Tobique. As a result, companies can scale internationally with fewer operational barriers, making the Island an ideal base for growth-oriented businesses.

As global markets mature and establish local regulatory regimes, the Isle of Man remains relevant. The ability to hold regulated licenses such as UK, Ontario, Irish, and Finnish licenses through an Isle of Man company allows suppliers to maintain their advantageous position and global focus, whilst also utilising their structure to enter competitive regulated markets. As evidence of this, Global Gaming Solutions has supported leading aggregator St8, securing successful Ontario and UK licences to scale rapidly whilst maintaining operations on the Island.

Advanced Technological Infrastructure

The Isle of Man offers world-class digital infrastructure tailored to the eGaming sector’s needs. High-speed internet connectivity, secure data centres, and reliable telecommunications systems provide a strong foundation for suppliers operating internationally.

The jurisdiction also supports emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency payments, which are increasingly utilised operationally by suppliers. CoinCorner, a local Bitcoin service provider, boasts over 350,000 users and 10 years of service, providing on-the-ground support to local and international businesses.

Government Support and Business-Friendly Environment

The Isle of Man government actively supports the eGaming sector, the GSC has a legacy as an approachable and friendly regulator, whilst Digital Isle of Man frequently attends and hosts eGaming events and meets with prospective businesses to represent the Island as a global tech centre. As such, businesses are supported and encouraged at all levels.

Local Expertise

The Island’s local high-tech sectors, including eGaming, data hosting, blockchain, and AI initiatives, have created a highly skilled workforce that enables and incentivises well-established names such as Microgaming, Games Global, and Arrise (Pragmatic Play) to build local, boots-on-the-ground operations in the Isle of Man.

For start-up operations, the Isle of Man has a wide range of trusted service partners with decades of industry experience to support and advise future leaders. However, as operations grow, the Island makes a strong case for local offices and a headquarters. The Islands’ talent pool of industry-leading compliance and operations professionals enables suppliers to expand existing operations and build substance whilst maintaining the tax, infrastructure, and trusted relationships they have established.

Conclusion

For eGaming software companies, the Isle of Man presents a highly attractive and unique proposition. Companies can not only reduce costs but also enhance their reputation, expand into international markets, and operate within a stable and forward-thinking ecosystem.

By choosing the Isle of Man, suppliers gain immediate tax incentives and credibility, but also future-proof their investment. Clear and realistic opportunities to obtain local and international licences, access a wide network of partners, and establish local offices mean that the Isle of Man is not just a tax-efficient structure but also a commitment to building a reputable brand as a future industry leader.
