Yggdrasil, the innovative online gaming solutions provider, and YG Masters studio partner Northern Lights have released the Program’s second slot title, Rock the Cash Bar, using Yggdrasil’s ground-breaking Game Adaptation Tools & Interface (GATI) technology.

The 6×4, 25 payline video slot offers players the chance to win more than 12,000x their stake as every win triggers a respin, with larger symbols and higher multipliers unlocked as new wins erupt. During a respin, a lava flow will run down multiple reels, melting them to one big reel where gigantic symbols of up to 4×4 can land. This is repeated during every respin, further enhancing win potential. The multiplier can continue to rise until it is 10x on every spin, as long as wins continue to burst from the volcano.

Regulating the Game has announced an updated partnership framework for the 2027 initiative, organized into four levels — Principal Partner, Signature Partners, Pillar Partners, and Activation Partners — aimed at providing sponsors a more defined connection with the conference, the RTG Global Awards, and the delegate experience.

The updated architecture showcases significant involvement in 2026 and mirrors the widened scope of the 2027 program, which encompasses a more extensive conference agenda and the growth of the RTG Global Awards from six to twelve categories.

Regulating the Game 2027 Sydney is scheduled for 8–10 March 2027 at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth, featuring the RTG Global Awards ceremony on 9 March 2027.

A more distinct connection between partner funding and program worth.Every level is designed to correspond with the delegates’ experience of the program — starting with the conference opening, through Pitch!, the main program, the Global Awards Gala Dinner, and concluding the event. The goal is to minimize overlapping propositions, enhance category positioning, and achieve partnership results that are clear, traceable, and aligned with the program’s core.

• Principal Partner — The lead partner of the Regulating the Game 2027 program, with prominence across the conference, the Global Awards and the delegate journey. Reserved as a singular position.
• Signature Partners — A small group of premium partners aligned with flagship program elements, including Pitch!, the Global Awards Gala Dinner and other headline moments of the 2027 program.
• Pillar Partners — Partners aligned with the core thematic pillars of the Regulating the Game program: regulation and policy, compliance and integrity, safer gambling, and technology and innovation.
• Activation Partners — Partners supporting specific delegate touchpoints and experiences across the program, with visibility tied to defined activations.

A maturing global program

The 2027 program builds on the trajectory established in 2026, which saw strong international participation, the inaugural RTG Global Awards and the Pitch! showcase that brought together established providers and emerging RegTech disruptors. The expanded 2027 awards program — with six new categories including Black Market Disruption Initiative, Sport & Wagering Integrity Initiative, Research Impact, Gambling Harm Prevention Campaign, Compliance Advisory and Distinguished Contribution — broadens the recognition framework across the sector.
“The 2027 architecture reflects the maturity of the Regulating the Game program — a global conference, an expanded awards program and a delegate community that spans regulators, sector leaders, technology and research across multiple jurisdictions,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and Founder of Regulating the Game.

“Partners increasingly want a clearer line of sight to value, audience and alignment. The four-tier model is designed to provide that — fewer overlapping propositions, clearer category positioning, and partnerships that map to how the program is actually experienced by delegates.”

Partner engagement now open

Partnership conversations for the 2027 program are now open. Organisations interested in any of the four tiers are invited to make contact through Regulating the Game to discuss alignment, availability and entitlements.

ESR Group has appointed Philip Doftvik, Gary Nall and Jonas Delin as non-executive directors, completing its newly formed board, the company said today.

The new NEDs are Philip Doftvik, CEO at Qtech Games and a former director at LeoVegas; Gary Nall, founder of PlayBook and former Entain MD; and Jonas Delin, co-founder of Avanti Studios and former founder of Authentic Gaming (acquired by Light and Wonder ).

ESR said the board will support its leadership team across “people (recruitment/HR), transformational growth, GTM strategy and execution, M&A and investment”. The company operates ESR Talent, focused on executive search and embedded HR functions, and ESR Solutions, which provides strategic, investment and M&A advisory services.

Luke Imeson, co-founder and CEO of ESR Group, said: “This incredibly powerful combination of strategic minds and innovative thinkers is a fantastic boon to our already rapidly growing business. While I don’t like to brag, I truly think we’re set to make a huge difference to iGaming businesses worldwide, particularly in areas of executive search.”

Nall said: “I got to know Luke and Helena last year and found them both to be dedicated and genuine: two vital qualities in recruitment. When asked to join their board as a NED, it was an easy ‘yes’ – as working with people of their character ensures I’ll make a meaningful difference.” Delin added: “I’ve worked closely with Luke and the ESR team for the past seven years. What truly sets them apart in a very crowded space is their genuine focus on solving problems big and small, rather than simply chasing fees.” Doftvik said: “We partnered with the ESR team to launch and scale our new tech hub in Malaga from ground zero. Their service was highly strategic and had a positive impact on the growth of our organisation. Excited to now join them as a NED to contribute towards elevating their business”.

ESR Group was founded in 2023 by Imeson and co-founder Helena Scone, and works with iGaming, fintech and tech startups and scale-ups, according to the company.
