YGAM has established an organisation Quality Management System across the entirety of the charity to ensure consistent and impactful delivery. The charity is led by a Board of Trustees who are all independent of the gambling industry and who all give their time voluntarily. Within their tight governance structures, YGAM also have a Finance, Audit & Risk Committee who scrutinise all our donations and support the Senior Leadership Team to ensure that at no time is our independence compromised. The charity encourages all donations are sent via the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) which brings in an additional level of governance and scrutiny.

All the YGAM resources, training and education programmes have been externally scrutinised, challenged, evaluated and quality marked by a wide range of organisations including City & Guilds; National Council for Voluntary Organisations and Clearview Research. A critical part of all these evaluations is being able to demonstrate clear independence and show evidenced-based approaches.

Tequity, the emerging iGaming software innovator, has effectively collaborated with Spartans to enhance its branded Originals experience.

The partnership has led to Spartans integrating Tequity’s complete range of Originals titles to enhance a tailored house games selection in its casino lobby.

The integration finished in only one week, offering Spartans a rapid pathway to market. The swift implementation allows the operator to launch an entire range of branded material before a substantial increase in traffic, fueled by notable creator engagement and streaming-focused distribution.

Spartans has been gaining considerable traction through various strategic partnerships, featuring collaborations with prominent creators like X7Dave, as well as notable personalities such as Lil Baby and Conor Benn.

In addition to the Originals suite, Spartans has incorporated Mirror Image Gaming’s Royal Drop, a burst-style game, via Tequity’s Publishing division. The operator intends to enhance its offerings by adding more Tequity-powered content in the upcoming months.

Tequity Originals allow operators to quickly launch fully branded in-house games within days, providing total control over the user interface and player experience. Designed for high-capacity performance, the suite effortlessly manages the significant traffic spikes commonly associated with creator-driven promotions and live broadcasts. Tequity reduces technical burdens by emphasizing a streamlined, efficient integration process, offering a scalable solution that evolves with the brand.

Dominic Sawyer, VP Growth at Tequity, said: “Spartans are moving fast, and they have a clear strategy around brand, partnerships, and streaming-led distribution. We were able to get them live with a full Originals suite in a week, ensuring they can stay focused on growth while upgrading their house games offering with a fully branded, high-performance suite.”

A spokesperson at Spartans said: “We are very happy with the rollout and the speed of delivery. Originals are a core part of the Spartans casino experience, and Tequity has helped us launch quickly with a full branded suite that is ready for high traffic and streaming visibility.”

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has been confirmed as Gold Plus Sponsor for the inaugural Bloko Padel Tour, the new international iGaming sports circuit organised by Blokotech in partnership with SiGMA.

The Bloko Padel Tour is designed to unite the global iGaming community through sport, networking and competition. The circuit will visit four international destinations in 2026, beginning in Buenos Aires before moving on to Malta, Miami, and culminating with a Grand Finale in Rome during SiGMA World.

As Gold Plus Sponsor, Belatra Games will support the tour’s focus on sport, community and healthy competition – values that closely align with the company’s wider philosophy of backing initiatives that bring the industry together.

The partnership also highlights Belatra’s continued commitment to Latin America, a key pillar of the company’s growth strategy. With its long-established regional headquarters in Buenos Aires, the sponsorship reinforces Belatra’s strong presence in the region, particularly as the tour’s opening event takes place in Argentina alongside major industry gatherings.

Lucila M. Barletta, Head of Accounts LatAm at Belatra, said:
“We’re happy to support an important industry event that strongly resonates with our LatAm philosophy. Latin America is a market we care deeply about, and any gathering that helps bring the industry together is a cause to throw our support behind. At Belatra, we believe in supporting tournaments, sport and healthy competition – regardless of where our branding appears.”

Salvatore Messina, Co-Founder and CEO of Blokotech, added:
“We’re proud to welcome Belatra Games as Gold Plus Sponsor of the Bloko Padel Tour. The initiative was created to unite the iGaming industry through competition and community, and Belatra’s strong presence in Latin America makes them an ideal partner as we launch the tour and expand it globally.”
