YGAM named as ICE London charity partner
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 9th 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.

Mega Riches funds West Brom charity hospitality packages at The Hawthorns
Immense Group’s online casino brand Mega Riches has provided a series of matchday hospitality packages at The Hawthorns for supporters connected to The Albion Foundation, the official charity partner of West Bromwich Albion.
The initiative ran across multiple fixtures this season, with beneficiaries hosted in the Richardson Suite. The club’s back-of-shirt sponsor said the packages went to Foundation volunteers, charity fundraisers and community lottery winners.
The press release highlights recipients including a long-serving Foundation volunteer celebrating her 70th birthday, and a supporter whose attendance at Foundation Day helped raise £1,127 for the Cancer Kickers programme. Winners from the Foundation’s Baggies Bonanza and darts evening fundraisers were also included.
One winner, Albion fan Ellie, attended the Albion vs Millwall match as Mega Riches’ guest after winning a bonus prize at the Hull City Foundation Day fixture in March. She said: “Our time in The Richardson Suite was fab. The staff and service were impeccable.
“We thoroughly enjoyed the food and complimentary drinks, as well as the Q&A session with the WBA legends. I would really recommend anyone wanting a more VIP experience at Albion to give it a try.”
Immense Group CMO Marco Trucco said: “Football reaches into communities in a way very few things do. When we looked at how we wanted to build our relationship with West Bromwich Albion, brand visibility was never going to be enough on its own.
“The work the Albion Foundation does, for cancer patients, for volunteers, for people who might otherwise be isolated, that’s the kind of purpose we want our brands to support. Mega Riches made that happen this season. Immense Group intends to keep making it happen.”

Huddle partners Entain CEE on bespoke tennis trading and pricing
Huddle has signed a strategic trading partnership with Entain’s CEE division to develop and run bespoke pricing and trading capabilities, with an initial focus on tennis and football (soccer) and basketball integration. The project is now live following a testing period and is intended to support Entain’s regional brands including STS in Poland and SuperSport in Croatia.
The companies said the work follows a joint development model, combining Entain CEE’s proprietary trading expertise with Huddle’s modelling and automation, aimed at scaling Entain CEE brands’ proprietary trading IP. Huddle said the architecture is designed to support complex pricing requirements across products such as player props, micro markets and same-game parlays (bet builders), alongside improvements to uptime and the customer betting experience.
On tennis, the jointly developed solution covers singles through mixed doubles across men’s and women’s competitions, from the ATP Tour down to the Futures Series level, according to the companies. Basketball was tested in parallel, with Huddle highlighting player-minute distribution models for content including Euroleague, NBA and domestic competitions.
The partnership is also set to continue work on a soccer product ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, which the companies expect will increase engagement in player props and micro markets.
Francesco Borgosano, CEO at Huddle, said: “This bespoke collaboration with Entain CEE represents a significant milestone for Huddle as we demonstrate our ability to build beyond our off-the-shelf solutions with a deeply-integrated and collaborative trading development initiative that enhances our already strong in-house pricing capacity while delivering value to our partners.”
Ivan Gojic, Chief Sportsbook Officer at Entain CEE, added: “We’re very pleased to be partnering with Huddle on a bespoke trading initiative that combines our proprietary trading expertise with their modelling capabilities to deliver a truly differentiated product.
“This allows us to significantly improve uptime, pricing and cash-out performance, while expanding one of the strongest player prop and BetBuilder offers in the region. Our ambition is to be the home of player props in CEE and to compete at the highest level, and this partnership is a key step towards that.”
