Global betting, gaming and racing communities unite ahead of International Women’s Day 2023
More than 50 leading operators, suppliers, regulators, trainers and associations have united to back the IWD2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign
Leading organisations in the global betting, gaming and racing sectors are supporting an industry campaign to embrace equity, in line with the theme of International Women’s Day 2023.
Led by All-in Diversity Project and Square in the Air, the award-winning partnership behind IWD2022’s hard-hitting video campaign, the 2023 awareness drive seeks to highlight the extraordinary range of personal stories and achievements that help shape the global betting, gaming and racing sectors.
From world-record holders and military veterans to inspiring scientists and those volunteering to deliver healthcare in the jungles of Africa, the 2023 campaign celebrates the personal achievements of women across these global industries.
Tina Thakor-Rankin, Co-Founder of the All-in Diversity Project, said: “Last year, our IWD video campaign – delivered in close partnership with Square in the Air – sought to highlight the sometimes shocking personal experiences of women working in the betting and gaming sectors.
“Into 2023, it is time for celebration and an opportunity to emphasise the amazing achievements of women in our industry. This campaign uses those feats to illustrate that not only does this industry seek to fully ‘embrace equity’, but that our different experiences make us stronger.”
Ellen Kerbey, Creative Director at Square in the Air, said: “We’ve been amazed at some of the incredible achievements that women worldwide have shared as part of this campaign, but more than anything it serves as a reminder that each of us has our story, our own experiences and a unique set of strengths to celebrate.
“Under the #GamingAsOne and #AllintheRace hashtags, it’s heartening to see the biggest betting, gaming and racing organisations in the world unite to celebrate our strength in diversity.”
BetMGM, Betsson, Entain, Kindred, LeoVegas, Paddy Power Betfair, Penn Entertainment, PokerStars and Sportsbet are among the major operators supporting the campaign, alongside leading suppliers such as Games Global, IGT, Light & Wonder, Microgaming and Playtech, all under the #GamingAsOne hashtag.
Support also comes from, among others, Better Collective, Clarion, the wider Flutter Group, Lottoland and Yolo Group. Elsewhere, regulators backing the campaign include the Malta Gaming Authority and the Massachusetts Gaming Commission.
Uniting under the #AllintheRace hashtag, the racing community is also well represented, with a wide range of organisations lining up to support IWD2023, including the British Horseracing Authority, Godolphin Racing, the Injured Jockeys Fund and the UK Tote.
A full list of supporting companies and associations from the betting, gaming and racing sectors, as well as the achievements and experiences of the women featured in the campaign, will be published on social media during the week of International Women’s Day 2023, which is on Wednesday 8th March.

BC.GAME Introduces VIP Transfer Programme

BC.GAME has introduced a VIP Transfer programme aimed at high-value players migrating from other platforms. The initiative pairs First-Week Lossback—BC.GAME’s first-week downside protection on net losses—with immediate access to BC.GAME’s VIP benefits. Lossback is delivered in the player’s account currency plus an additional grant in $BC, with tiered caps linked to first-deposit size; high-tier totals can reach up to 70%, subject to terms and review.
What’s different
BC.GAME delivers a two-track experience: tangible downside protection in week one via First-Week Lossback, and ongoing VIP treatment thereafter.
Rules at a glance
• New users only: Available exclusively to first-time BC.GAME accounts.
• Referral code required: Enter BCVIPTRANSFER during registration to qualify.
• Compliance: Provide proof of VIP status from another platform and complete KYC. Availability depends on jurisdiction.
• Anti-abuse: Multiple accounts, falsified documents, or arbitrage may result in disqualification and forfeiture of benefits.
How First-Week Lossback works
• Window: A continuous 7×24 hours starting on the day of first deposit.
• Basis: Calculated on net losses within that window (losses after wins).
• Payout format: Lossback in account currency + an additional grant in $BC.
• Tiering: Caps vary by first-deposit size; high-tier totals can reach up to 70%. Specific ranges, eligible games, settlement timing and caps follow the official terms and individual account review.
BC.GAME Head of Affiliates said: “Players shouldn’t have to start from zero when they switch. First-Week Lossback gives real downside protection in week one, and VIP Transfer delivers immediate VIP status, then keeps the value flowing week after week.”
After week one: standard VIP programme (long-term value)
After the first week, players transition into BC.GAME’s regular VIP & loyalty framework (separate from the week-one protection). Typical benefits include:
Weekly/Monthly cashback and reload/weekly bonuses (by tier);
Dedicated VIP host and tailored rewards, plus at higher tiers faster or higher-limit withdrawals and other elevated limits.
All benefits, thresholds, and frequencies are tier-dependent and governed by the official programme terms.
