iGB Live! Masterclass: Insights for Experts in iGaming

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Answering the thirst for in-depth expert industry insight, organisers of iGB Live (5-8 July, Amsterdam RAI) have confirmed the addition of two new free-to-attend Masterclasses, each limited to just 30 attendees. The Masterclasses delve into a single subject at a level never-before offered at a conference.

Justin Deaville, who has worked with many of the UK’s leading brands, including Aviva, PaddyPower, Ladbrokes, SkyBet, the Financial Services Forum and the Foreign Office will lead the Advanced SEO Masterclass – an interactive workshop and discussion analysing changes and opportunities from Google’s May core update, and focusing on taking advantage of Google Features to outrank the competition. His masterclass is for advanced SEOs, and requires delegates to already have a solid understanding of the SEO basics. Besides exploring ways to advance in the SERPs, the Masterclass will also look to maximise efficiency as an SEO.

The second Masterclass will be led by Eric Frank of Odds On Compliance. As the former Group Compliance Officer for The Stars Group, Eric managed global compliance teams and served as the principal legal advisor for regulatory, licensing and compliance matters in the United States, Latin America and Asia. His Masterclass, Demystifying the USA affiliate license’ is a 3-hour, step-by-step workshop demonstrating to small and medium sized affiliates how to cost-effectively make and win an affiliate application in the United States. It will walk delegates through the process of obtaining the requisite licensure in the United States to operate as an affiliate, and will show through state-by-state examination, cost benefit analysis, and walking through a demonstration application, that businesses from Europe and beyond can become active in the booming US gaming and betting market.

Curated by Clarion Gaming Chairman and 25-year industry veteran Michael Caselli, the iGB Masterclass format answers a need for in-depth analysis and problem solving. He explained: “iGB Masterclasses are in-depth lectures, made to small groups of attendees who are interested in learning everything they can about a key topic or how to solve a specific problem. Masterclasses are very specialized and niche, and it is precisely that which makes them so valuable for our attendees that are already experts in their fields. There is nowhere else in our industry where experts can gather, learn, examine and discuss their topics at such a level. I believe that it is our duty to continue to deliver content that provides insight and value to our most loyal and expert guests.

“We have chosen Advanced SEO and USA Affiliate Licensure for two very different reasons. Advanced SEO was an obvious necessity as iGB Live! attracts some of the best SEOs in the world. We needed something that went way beyond the basics to service these incredible experts.

“USA Affiliate Licensure was chosen because it is a subject that even expert affiliates find cryptic and laden with misunderstanding. Most affiliates wouldn’t believe that they could become an Authorised affiliate in New York for less than a $1,000 investment, in this Masterclass we will show you that you can. Attendees will see that becoming a legal affiliate in the United States is within their budget and in their interest.

“Being able to work with experts such as Justin Deaville and Eric Frank for months to create the highest level content we have ever organized has been an education in itself. Anyone attending either Masterclass will leave impressed, once again, with what they can learn at an iGB conference!”

The Advanced SEO Seminar, is being held on 6th July (13.30 – 17.30)

Demystifying the USA affiliate license, is being held on 7th July (13.30 – 17.30).

Supplier confirms booth 732 at the July 20-22 show in Oklahoma City and outlines new game titles plus BSX table progressives.

AGS said it will attend the 2026 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show on July 20-22 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center, where it plans to present new slot content, cabinet updates, and its table progressive platform. The company will exhibit at booth 732.

In a statement, AGS CEO and President David Lopez positioned the show as a homecoming tied to the company’s Class II history in the state. ”Oklahoma is not just another dot on the map for us. It’s where we started and where we learned how to be a true gaming supplier,” Lopez said. “You can’t fake it in Oklahoma. Tribal customers know the games, they know the math, they know service, and they know who shows up every time. That has been great for AGS, because it forced us to get better. It made us more disciplined while keeping us honest. We’ve grown a lot since then – Class III, tables, interactive, offices all over the place – but our history in Oklahoma and Class II is not something we moved on from. It’s part of the AGS engine.”

On the slots side, AGS said its showcase will include the large-format Spectra SL75+™ cabinet, which supports the Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased. The company said the cabinet will be used to highlight five new titles: Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao™; Rakin’ Bacon! 5 Prosperity Pots™; Cash Carriage Looter™; Da Da Luo Boom™; and Frightful Fortunes Popping Pumpkins™.

AGS also outlined its mechanical stepper cabinet Revel®, available in both Class II and Class III, and said its latest Revel portfolio includes Crystal Reels® and Royal Reels®. The company added that Jackpot Legends™ and So Hot Cash® are set to debut in Class III later this year, with Class II launches following in 2027.

For tables, AGS highlighted its Bonus Spin Xtreme® (BSX) progressive platform, which the company said links table games across the pit and poker room. AGS did not disclose operator deployments, jackpot figures, or performance metrics tied to BSX in the announcement.

Expandirse en LatAm: el costo oculto que enfrenta la industria del iGaming

Gestionar fondos en múltiples mercados: el cuello de botella oculto que frena el crecimiento del iGaming en América Latina

Argentina, 13 de julio de 2026 – Escalar un negocio de iGaming en América Latina implica gestionar infraestructuras de pago paralelas, fondos de liquidez separados y procesos de conciliación desconectados en cada país. Para los operadores que buscan expandirse a nivel regional, esta fragmentación se ha convertido en un costo tangible: consume tiempo, inmoviliza capital, reduce los márgenes a medida que el negocio crece y aumenta la complejidad operativa con cada nuevo mercado.

Brasil marcó el ritmo con ingresos por 37.000 millones de reales en 2025, el primer año completo del mercado bajo un marco regulatorio, según datos de la Secretaría de Premios y Apuestas (SPA). Argentina, Perú, México y Chile también continuaron atrayendo operadores con estrategias de expansión regional. Sin embargo, en la práctica, estas compañías siguen enfrentándose al mismo obstáculo: infraestructuras financieras que operan de manera aislada, con poca o ninguna interoperabilidad entre sí.

Cada mercado funciona sobre rieles de pago locales sin un equivalente directo en otros países. En Brasil, Pix, incluido Pix Biométrico, representa la gran mayoría de las transacciones, especialmente tras la prohibición del uso de tarjetas de crédito y boletos bancarios para las apuestas. En Argentina, las CVU y las transferencias instantáneas cuenta a cuenta (A2A) impulsan los depósitos y retiros; en México ese rol lo cumplen las transferencias SPEI A2A, mientras que en Colombia corresponde a BRE-B. En Chile, MACH se ha convertido en el método de pago preferido por una gran parte de los jugadores y, en Perú, ese lugar lo ocupa Yape. Ninguna de estas infraestructuras de pago se integra de forma nativa con las demás, lo que significa que un operador presente en todos estos mercados termina administrando una infraestructura financiera independiente en cada uno de ellos.

El impacto va mucho más allá del procesamiento de pagos. Cuando los fondos circulan a través de sistemas desconectados entre distintas jurisdicciones, cada una con sus propias normas fiscales y ciclos de liquidación, los operadores pierden visibilidad en tiempo real sobre su posición de caja. Como consecuencia, decisiones que deberían basarse en información precisa y actualizada terminan dependiendo de consolidaciones manuales y estimaciones.

“Vimos venir este escenario antes que el mercado. A medida que la regulación maduró en Brasil, Argentina, Perú, Colombia y el resto de la región, el mayor desafío para los operadores dejó silenciosamente de ser ‘¿podemos ingresar al mercado?’ para convertirse en ‘¿podemos controlar lo que ocurre dentro de nuestra operación?’. Las operaciones financieras fragmentadas son hoy uno de los principales obstáculos para una expansión regional rentable y el problema se agrava, no se reduce, cuanto más crece una empresa. Los ganadores no se definirán por su presencia geográfica, sino por su capacidad de tener visibilidad, control y una gestión integrada. Esa es la convicción sobre la que se construyó OKTO PAYMENTS: infraestructura de pagos local en cada mercado, con una única capa de control financiero por encima, conectada mediante una sola API para todo el continente”, afirmó Filippos Antonopoulos, fundador y CEO de OKTO PAYMENTS.

Para los proveedores de servicios de pago (PSP), dar soporte a operadores presentes en múltiples mercados requiere mucho más que conectividad con los métodos de pago locales. Exige combinar infraestructura local con una capa centralizada de gestión financiera que proporcione visibilidad en tiempo real sobre los fondos, la conciliación y la liquidez entre distintas jurisdicciones. El objetivo es administrar los pagos no como integraciones independientes por país, sino como un marco unificado de control financiero distribuido en múltiples mercados.

OKTO PAYMENTS fue diseñado precisamente para responder a ese desafío. Los operadores realizan una única integración y acceden a los métodos de pago locales que los jugadores esperan en cada mercado: Pix en Brasil, CVU y A2A en Argentina, MACH en Chile, Yape en Perú, entre otros. Sobre esa infraestructura funciona una única capa de tesorería y conciliación que consolida fondos, liquidez y liquidaciones en una vista unificada y en tiempo real, permitiendo que los equipos financieros dejen de conciliar mercado por mercado para gestionar una única posición regional.

Para los operadores que están planificando o acelerando su expansión regional, OKTO PAYMENTS ofrece una evaluación de su infraestructura financiera para identificar dónde la fragmentación está generando costos hoy, ya sea por capital inmovilizado, demoras en las liquidaciones o pérdida de visibilidad financiera. Para solicitar una evaluación, los interesados pueden contactar al equipo comercial de OKTO PAYMENTS.

AGS today announced it will be attending the 2026 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 20-22 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.

With deep seated roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility is located, AGS is eager to return to OIGA with a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.

”Oklahoma is not just another dot on the map for us. It’s where we started and where we learned how to be a true gaming supplier,” said David Lopez, CEO and President of AGS. “You can’t fake it in Oklahoma. Tribal customers know the games, they know the math, they know service, and they know who shows up every time. That has been great for AGS, because it forced us to get better. It made us more disciplined while keeping us honest. We’ve grown a lot since then – Class III, tables, interactive, offices all over the place – but our history in Oklahoma and Class II is not something we moved on from. It’s part of the AGS engine.”

The Company’s product showcase will include the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+™. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.

The cabinet acts as the perfect canvas to highlight five new titles including Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao™ and Rakin’ Bacon! 5 Prosperity Pots™, Cash Carriage Looter™, Da Da Luo Boom™, and Frightful Fortunes Popping Pumpkins™.

AGS’ high-performing mechanical stepper cabinet Revel® – available in both Class II and Class III – is redefining the category by blending traditional mechanical gameplay with video-inspired features, creating an engaging experience for all player types. The latest Revel portfolio includes Crystal Reels® and Royal Reels®, available in both Class II and Class III. Expanding the lineup, Jackpot Legends™ – a new cash-on-reels title featuring an exciting Jackpot Bonus Wheel – and So Hot Cash®, which delivers classic stepper gameplay and can be linked to the So Hot Grand progressive, are set to debut in Class III later this year, with Class II launches following in 2027.

On the table side, AGS’ award-winning progressive platform Bonus Spin Xtreme® (BSX) has been hugely successful in turning small side bets into massive jackpots throughout the tribal casino market. Linking all table games – from the pit to the poker room – BSX has been elemental in allowing operators to offer the flexibility at the tables to make these life-changing wins become more common.

AGS’ participation in OIGA reflects the Company’s history in Oklahoma and its longstanding commitment to the tribal gaming community. More than a trade show presence, OIGA is an opportunity for AGS to reconnect with valued partners, strengthen relationships, and reaffirm its respect for the Oklahoma Tribes that have played such an important role in the Company’s growth.

Attendees are invited to visit AGS at booth 732 throughout the show.
