bacta launch YGAM and Betknowmore UK Safer Gambling Training on portal
Bacta, the trade association which represents the amusement and gaming machine industry in the UK, has reiterated its commitment to raising standards by enabling access to the Safer Gambling Training programme through the bactaPortal.
Safer Gambling Training, developed and delivered by leading charities YGAM and Betknowmore UK, combines specialist knowledge, insight and research to raise standards in player protection. Informed by lived experience and relevant to the latest LCCP requirements, the initiative contains six programmes including key areas such as: understanding customer vulnerability; managing welfare; how to interact with customers and signposting to support services.’ The training will now be accessible via the new bactaPortal which went live in September 2021.
The bactaPortal allows gambling venues to maintain paperless records of all their customer interactions and self-exclusions, as well as hosting training modules and other valuable information. It is available to everyone, although bacta members benefit from a subsidised price.
John White, Chief Executive at bacta welcomed the announcement by saying: “YGAM and Betknowmore UK are renowned for their safer gambling training and we are proud that they have chosen to make it available via the bactaPortal. This initiative is the first of many that will make the bactaPortal indispensable to arcade businesses looking to remove paper from their operations. Not only will we populate the bactaPortal with additional training we will be providing a suite of tools from AV testing logs to crime alerts that will put the bactaPortal at the top of the must haves for the sector.”
The Safer Gambling Team will be attending the upcoming EAG conference in London to showcase their programme and talk to delegates about how they can access the training through the portal.
Ian Shanahan, Director of Business Development and Fundraising at YGAM, said: “We’re delighted with this commitment from bacta. It is encouraging to see an influential trade association support our work and I hope more sectors within the gambling industry continue to invest in our City & Guilds Assured Safer Gambling Training. All profits generated from our training are directed back into our charities to further support our social purpose.”
Frankie Graham, Chief Executive at Betknowmore UK, said: “We are delighted to see bacta support the Safer Gambling Training programme. Sector wide commitment to raising standards through training and enhanced learning is our best guard in the prevention of gambling harms.”
Since launching in April 2021, the charities have sold over 14,500 programmes. The bactaPortal training can be completed online, with each programme taking around 60-minutes to complete. The training can be easily accessed on PC, laptop, tablet or mobile at a time that suits the learner.

The Most Anticipated Studio Debut of the Year: DELULU Gaming Officially Enters the iGaming Market
The new-generation game studio makes its official debut backed by integrations with major platforms, and a private Soft Launch Dinner in London that introduced the brand to the C-level circle of the iGaming world.
DELULU Gaming has officially entered the iGaming market — and from day one, the studio has made clear it is not here to blend in. The brand marked its debut with a private Soft Launch Dinner in London, held alongside iGB London, introducing DELULU to a curated circle of 250+ C-level industry leaders.
Another milestone came even before the official market launch: DELULU’s debut portfolio went live on Stake, one of the world’s most influential iGaming brands.
Partnerships in Place from Day One
The launch is backed by key partnerships already in place. DELULU Gaming has completed its integration with SoftGamings, one of the industry’s leading aggregators, giving operators across the network immediate access to the studio’s portfolio. SOFTSWISS joins as Strategic Technology Partner, bringing reliable infrastructure, deep industry expertise, and a trusted ecosystem to support DELULU’s growth from the very first step. The studio is also working with Tequity and several other partners, with more to be announced.
And this is only the beginning. New partnerships and integrations are already in the pipeline, with more announcements to follow as DELULU expands its reach across the industry.
Arthur Sheikhaliev, CEO of DELULU Gaming, commented: “Launching DELULU is the result of a bold vision and the work of an exceptional team. We enter the market with strong partnerships and a portfolio we’re proud of. From this point, our focus is on building DELULU into a trusted global brand.”
DELULU Gaming is already expanding its presence across the industry. The team is actively meeting operators and aggregators interested in integrating DELULU content, with meetings available both online and at upcoming industry events throughout 2026.
Built for a Market That Rewards Quality
DELULU enters at a moment when operators are prioritising quality and distinctive experiences over volume. The studio’s answer: games built around player behaviour, mechanical clarity, and a visual identity designed to stand out from the first frame.
The debut portfolio reflects that approach:
Candy Chaos → 7×7 cluster pays with bomb mechanics and player- selectable Free Spin volatility. Controlled chaos engineered for high engagement and serious replay value.
Dogs Arena → ways-to-win game with expandable reels (4×5 up to 6×5), player-selectable volatility via Wild fighter characters, and scatter-triggered Free Spins with three Barrel colour modes.
Oh My Gods → 6×5 pay-anywhere grid with a dual Free Spins system: choose Zeus or Thor, each unlocking totally different FS modes. Ends with a Final Gods Clash that multiplies total win x3 if your god wins.
MLK Voyage → 5×4 reel adventure with three scatter-triggered bonus modes, Barrel Boost progression, and max win up to 20,000x. Old-school energy with new-school mechanical ambition.
Portal Plinko → sci-fi instant-win with adjustable risk tiers, multi-ball drops, and a free-only GIGA Ball Surge locking multipliers up to 100x. Plinko reimagined for players who want every drop to count.
Every title is stream-ready from day one, with bold visuals, tight mechanics, and math engineered for emotional impact. New titles are already in development with more releases planned in the coming months.
