Exceptional candidates to spend two years working within the FSB organisation as the diversity and inclusion programme gets underway.

FSB, the award-winning sports betting platform provider, and talent nurturing organisation Rubik Talent, have announced the names of the four trainees who will join the technology supplier as part of their jointly crafted graduate programme.

Last month, FSB and Rubik Talent announced they had joined forces to promote the careers of graduates from under-represented groups within the global iGaming industry.

FSB have committed to offering placements to four individuals, with the successful trainees named as  Yan Ngo, Sammi Chong, Nafisa Zaman and Benjamin Allan.

The graduates will be embedded within the FSB business for two years starting this autumn with a view to potential full time employment at the end of the programme.

Sam Lawrence, Chief Technical Officer at FSB, said: “I am excited to welcome these four exceptional individuals to the organisation. This programme will allow them to participate in a fast-moving successful business and give them the tools to take their technology skills to the next level.

“The principles of this project have been something that senior management have been immensely passionate about and they very much resonate with our corporate values. We’re looking forward to starting the programme in the autumn.

Robin McDonald, Managing Partner at Rubik Talent, said: “Working with FSB over the last few months on this project has been hugely rewarding and it’s thrilling to be able to announce the four candidates who will take their place on the scheme.

“In preparation, our trainees have dedicated themselves to three pillars of education at the Rubik Academy: professional skills, iGaming and Full Stack Software Development. These skills will help to fast track their early careers and we are proud to continue to support them in their journeys with FSB.”

ICE Barcelona has demonstrated its commitment to the Spanish industry following a highly successful engagement program at the Expo Congreso de Juego Luis Escribano in Torremolinos.

Recognised for being one of the most established and respected gatherings in the Spanish gaming calendar, the event provided a powerful platform for the ICE team to connect with industry leaders, regional representatives, and national stakeholders, as momentum builds towards the second edition of ICE Barcelona taking place January 2026.

The ICE Barcelona delegation engaged with more than a dozen of Spain’s most influential trade associations, including Asociación de Operadores de Juego de la Comunidad de Madrid, Asociación de Operadores de Asturias, Asaebin Andalucía, Ageo Galicia, Andemar Comunidad Valenciana, Anesar, Aemexa Extremadura, Club de Convergentes, CEJUEGO, Femara and Aspromareto share the exciting development plans for January’s event.

Reviewing the programme of meetings Ewa Bakun, Director of Industry Insight and Engagement at Clarion Gaming said: “Our aim in Torremolinos was clear: to listen, to connect, and to demonstrate our commitment to the Spanish industry. The conversations that we had were without exception forward-looking and constructive focussing on how we can work hand in hand with associations to shape and deliver a Spain-focused agenda at ICE 2026.”

She added: “Topics ranged from regional market opportunities to association-led content creation, as well as new ways to maximise knowledge sharing, showcase innovation, and elevate Spain’s presence on the global gaming stage.”

“A central pillar of our discussions was the La Plaza —a dedicated hub on the ICE show floor. More than simply a meeting point, La Plaza will host an industry-led programme co-curated with the Spanish associations, featuring bespoke content sessions, networking events, and collaborative initiatives that put the voice of Spain’s gaming community at the very heart of ICE Barcelona.

“We warmly invite all associations, including those we could not meet in person at the Expo Congreso, to join us on the journey to Barcelona and play a central role in shaping ICE 2026. The response from delegates to both the debut of ICE Barcelona in 2025 and the 2026 roadmap was overwhelmingly positive.

“Attendees expressed strong enthusiasm for the opportunity to showcase Spain’s strength and dynamism on a global stage, while also embracing the chance to contribute to the broader strategic conversations impacting the future of the industry.”
