Pioneering platform provider shines a light on the incredible work being done by safer gambling charities

Microgaming is acknowledging and spotlighting the incredible responsible gambling and safer gaming charities that it works with.

The leading platform provider has fostered strong partnerships with a number of safer gambling charities building these vital relationships over the last three-plus years.

Microgaming works closely with each charity to understand the projects that will have the greatest impact on service users, providing donations to support a wide range of meaningful projects.

Activities range from expanding the services offered, to producing educational videos as well as improving websites and digital infrastructure.

Here is a list of some of the safer gaming charities that have received support from Microgaming throughout the year:

  • Ygam
  • Gordon Moody
  • Beacon Counselling Trust
  • Betknowmore UK
  • Motiv8 Addiction Services

Ygam used its Microgaming donation toward plans to expand its educational training with faith and community leaders, while Gordon Moody used its donation to boost its comfort fund which supports family members affected by those going through gambling addiction treatment.

Betknowmore UK has worked with Microgaming for more than three years and this year significantly improved its digital and website infrastructure. Its donation was put to modernising the charity’s website to include more safer gambling content.

It was also used for the development of digital self-help materials and tools, and for the creation of more interactive media materials to support the organisation’s work.

Beacon’s donation will help fund an animated video used to support its work as a mental health service provider within vulnerable communities with a particular focus on Paul’s Place, its suicide bereavement service.

Motiv8 IOM will use its donation to top up its cost of living fund to help those who need it most.

Microgaming is also a huge supporter of Safer Gambling Week with several initiatives planned to include compulsory training for staff, compliance sessions and webinars with gambling addiction specialists such as Dr Mark Griffiths (Nottingham Trent University) and eCOGRA.

Sarah Campbell, Director of Compliance at Microgaming, said: “Safer gaming and responsible gambling is in our DNA. We take huge pride in working with and supporting a range of charities that are doing truly great work in this area.

“Through our support, these organisations are able to reach more at-risk persons than ever before and provide them with the tools, support and treatment they need. We are genuinely pleased with the projects and relationships we’ve formed with our charitable partners over the years.

Together, we can create a safer and more responsible gambling environment for all.”

Deal gives NOVOMATIC’s digital unit a direct B2C foothold in the Czech Republic, pending regulatory approvals.

Greentube has agreed to acquire Czech online sportsbook and casino operator Kingsbet CZ, moving into the country’s B2C online gaming market. The transaction is a 100% acquisition and is subject to conditions including regulatory approvals.

Alea, a leading iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the second edition of the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, a golf tournament bringing together iGaming executives at the Royal Malta Golf Club on May 11 and 12.

Alea, the leading casino iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, taking place on May 11–12 at the Royal Malta Golf Club.

Now in its second edition, the tournament continues to establish itself as a meeting point for the global iGaming industry.

It brings together competition, partnership, and shared experiences in a setting that extends beyond traditional events.

40 players, six countries, Ryder Cup format

Players from Malta, the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Dubai, and Canada will take part in a Ryder Cup-style format, with 40 golfers split into two teams competing across singles and doubles matches.

Team Malta, sponsored by ALL IN Platform in association with Alea, returns to defend its title following a tightly contested win in 2025, while Team Shivers, backed by Presidio, looks to reclaim the trophy.

For Alea, sponsoring the tournament with their long-term partner ALL IN Platform, reflects their ongoing effort to reinforce relationships in environments where competition and collaboration naturally intersect.

It’s a format that brings partners together in a more personal manner while still holding onto the competitive edge that defines the industry.

Alongside the tournament, an exclusive iGaming networking event will take place on the evening of May 11, gathering more than 80 industry professionals.

While golf drives the competition, the broader value of the event lies in the relationships it creates and strengthens.

“After the success at Loch Lomond 2025, we wanted to bring that same spirit of partnership to Malta with the ALL IN Platform team.

Excellence is a shared standard for us, both in business and on the green, and the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy is the perfect stage to lean into that.

We value the connection of bringing together people who share a sense of precision and purpose.

It’s the ideal moment to celebrate our partners and the journey we’re on together.” — Ramon Glieneke, COO at Alea

“Partnering with Alea on the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy reflects exactly how we believe business relationships should evolve—through shared experiences, trust, and a healthy sense of competition.

Alea has been a natural partner for us, aligned in both vision and execution, and this event is a great example of how we can bring the industry together in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable.

It’s not just about the tournament—it’s about strengthening the connections that drive long-term success.”  John Foster , CCO at ALL IN Platform

Set just outside Valletta, the Royal Malta Golf Club is one of the oldest in Europe and provides a course that blends history with a layout that rewards consistency and precision.

It’s a setting that mirrors the nature of the event itself: competitive, focused, and built around performance.

As the tournament returns to Malta, the 2026 edition builds on last year’s momentum, bringing renewed rivalries and a growing international presence as the event continues to establish itself as a distinctive fixture within the iGaming calendar.

Alea is a leading iGaming aggregator, offering a customizable platform that provides operators worldwide with seamless access to over 17,000 games from 170+ top-tier providers through a single API integration.

Known for its innovative technology, Alea simplifies the integration journey and delivers a flexible, scalable solution designed to enhance game variety, player experience, and operational efficiency.

Alea is highly committed to a security-first infrastructure, ensuring reliability and trust at every level.

In 2024, the company strengthened its cybersecurity framework through a strategic partnership with Continent 8 and achieved VAPT certification.
