YGAM, the award winning charity whose social purpose is to inform, educate and safeguard young people against gaming and gambling harms has been named as the official charity partner of ICE London 2023. The partnership will also see YGAM become the charity partner at the black tie iGB Affiliate London Awards taking place on Thursday February 9^th at The Troxy, London’s iconic art deco venue.

Confirming the partnership, Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming stated: “We are delighted to welcome YGAM as our official charity partner. YGAM is a progressive organisation which is well-known to and highly respected by many of the ICE London exhibitors and stakeholders.

“In all of the many conversations that we have with the industry safer gambling is at the top of their agenda and we are delighted to be able to use the power of the ICE brand and the platform provided by ICE London to promote safer gambling and raise awareness of the outstanding work undertaken on a daily basis by the team at YGAM.”

He added: “Our commitment to safer gambling is probably best known as a result of the award winning Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ) which we introduced to the ICE show floor in 2018. Each year the CPZ has grown in size and status with the 2023 edition hosting a record 20 stands an increase on the 14 present at the 2022 edition of ICE.

“The CPZ was recognised by the industry at the Global Regulatory Awards and has grown to become arguably the most visible manifestation of safer gambling at any industry trade show. YGAM is one of the charities that we gift space to on the CPZ and will also receive high profile branding on the CPZ theatre and on other high footfall areas of the ICE show floor.”

Ian Shanahan, Director of Business Development and Fundraising at YGAM added: “We are pleased to be working closely with Clarion Gaming again this year. ICE London is the biggest event of its kind, so its profile provides our charity with a valuable platform to raise awareness of the important work that we do to help prevent gaming and gambling harms.

“We’re looking forward to joining colleagues from across the third sector in the Consumer Protection Zone in its prominent location. YGAM will be launching our ambitious new strategy and refreshed brand in 2023 so we’re looking to showcase this at ICE ahead of an exciting year for the charity!”

The charity partnership will also see YGAM confirmed as an ICE Ambassador, receive branding around the show, be part of the official exhibition opening, attend as guests at the Casino Awards and the WRA reception and have fundraising visibility via POS leaflets and QR codes including in the ICE Show Daily newspaper.

Lottomart launches Flash Pots, adding ThrillTech’s operator-branded jackpots to its regulated markets.

ThrillTech has launched its ThrillPots side-bet jackpot product with Lottomart across the operator’s regulated UK and Gibraltar markets.

The rollout introduces Flash Pots, a ThrillPots-powered jackpot game integrated within Lottomart’s gaming platform. ThrillTech said the deployment expands its UK footprint and adds another regulated-market operator to its integration network.

ThrillPots is an operator-branded jackpot layer designed to sit alongside existing betting and gaming products. Players opt in by placing a small additional stake alongside eligible gameplay—such as slots, live casino games or sports bets—for a chance to enter pooled jackpot prizes.

Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Lottomart is exactly the kind of operator ThrillPots is built for. Lottomart is renowned for offering the excitement of jackpots and we’re delighted that ThrillPots can elevate the experience for players.”

Chris Ruddock, Commercial Director at Lottomart commented: “Jackpot-centric gaming is core to the Lottomart experience, making this partnership a natural evolution of our offering. While our players are already engaged with our Jackpot pooled prizes, this collaboration allows us to bring a uniquely branded proposition to our players. We are thrilled to introduce Flash Pots, our new ThrillPots powered jackpot, to the site.”

ThrillTech said it is now live across 10 regulated jurisdictions and has recently announced partnerships with NordPlay, EstrelaBet in Brazil, the Tote Group and BVGroup’s UK brands such as Betano, talkSPORT Bet and Heart Bingo. The company also said it holds ISO 27001 certification.

Odds88 has announced a new partnership with NE Group, a provider of B2B igaming software and lightweight front-end solutions.

Will Fyler, managing director at Odds88, said: “NE Group has built a highly impressive platform and we are delighted that they have chosen Odds88 as their risk management provider.

“Our extensive content offering, combined with our agile and responsive approach to risk management, ensures we are well positioned to support NE Group and their wider network of operators effectively.”

Imran Bukhari, CEO of NE Group, said: “Odds88 was the obvious choice for risk management services – they bring serious trading depth and operational reliability across thousands of events daily.

“What made this partnership click is how quickly we were able to deliver for our first operator. Our agentic infrastructure meant we went from integration kick-off to a fully customised, production-ready sportsbook UI – connected to the operator’s PAM and powered by Odds88’s risk management – in under three weeks.

“That’s not a stripped-down template. That’s a bespoke front-end, built and QAd by our AI agents working across the full development stack. We think this changes how operators should think about customisation timelines and we’re looking forward to scaling this with Odds88 across our operator network.”
