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).

GoldenRace has launched its next-generation V5 mobile solution, the supplier announced on 1 July 2026 in Malta. The company positions the release as a mobile delivery upgrade for its virtual sports and betting content, aimed at maintaining performance under high player traffic.

According to GoldenRace, V5 consolidates its previous architecture into a single application and “drastically reduces load sizes by 80–90%.” The company also said the platform is built “completely from the ground up” with a unified UI/UX designed to remain responsive across different network conditions.

On product features, GoldenRace said V5 introduces “advanced WebGL capabilities” to support high-fidelity graphics and operator-controlled branding. It also adds native gamification tools across games, including custom Tournaments, Leaderboards and Free Bets.

The company also outlined three mobile upgrades intended to reduce friction in the betting flow: a Lobby with modular layouts and a one-click toggle between scheduled and instant views; a next-generation Betslip with richer visual components and “smart organisation”; and dynamic Leaderboards with configurable funding and custom point logic.

GoldenRace said operators can switch to V5 by “changing a single line of code,” and added that a demo is available for operators evaluating the new mobile solution.

PopOK Gaming has obtained certification for the Portuguese iGaming market, adding Portugal to its list of regulated jurisdictions where it can offer compliant gaming content to licensed operators.

The company said the certification confirms it meets local regulatory and technical requirements and supports its strategy to expand in regulated markets.

PopOK Gaming did not disclose which regulator or test lab issued the certification, which products are covered, or the date the approval was granted.

Portugal continues to operate a ring-fenced regulated online gambling framework, with market access dependent on product approvals and operator licensing. For suppliers, local certification is typically a prerequisite to distribute content to licensed brands.

Replay tool builds on St8’s graphical game round details and launches first with nine casino game studios.

St8 has launched game round replays, adding visual playback of completed casino game rounds to its existing single API platform. The company said the feature is designed to help operators verify outcomes faster and resolve player queries more efficiently.

The new capability builds on St8’s graphical game round details, which it said is already used by operators. With replays, support and operations teams can access a round’s visual playback to investigate gameplay disputes and respond to players with more transparency.

St8 also positioned the feature as a player engagement tool, with operators able to surface notable moments such as big wins and bonus rounds for promotional use.

Game round replays will initially support titles from AvatarUX, BGaming, Endorphina, Hacksaw, Peter & Sons, Pragmatic Play, Scatter Kings, Shady Lady, and Tequity Originals, with more providers to be added. St8 said the feature is delivered through its existing single API integration and requires no additional development work, and is intended to scale across multiple brands and regulated markets.

David Fall, Business Development Manager at St8, said: “Operators are under increasing pressure to deliver exceptional customer support while keeping operational costs under control. Our graphical game round details have become a trusted and widely used tool for operators, giving support teams quick access to the information they need to resolve player queries efficiently. Game round replays complement this capability by providing a visual playback of each round, helping teams resolve cases even faster and with complete confidence.

“Beyond operational efficiency, the feature also opens up new opportunities for engagement. Operators can showcase exciting gameplay moments, celebrate big wins and create richer player experiences – all through the same integration. Because game round replays are delivered through our existing single API, partners can access this functionality immediately while continuing to benefit from the simplicity and scalability that sit at the heart of the St8 platform.”
