IGSA Announces New Membership Structure and Dues

Published

on

 

The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has announced it will overhaul its membership structure and annual dues. Replacing the decades old membership structure of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels will be a new model designed to be more inclusive and make membership more affordable while providing each membership level with more privileges.

“While our membership levels have been stable, the industry has changed dramatically. The board of directors wants to expand IGSA and increase inclusivity by making membership affordable to companies from every facet of the industry, including large and small suppliers, content providers, tech-sector companies, and operators,” said Nimish Purohit, Chairman of IGSA.

“The new membership structure and dues is the result of the feedback from in-depth interviews conducted with current, former, and prospective members. Having the ability to impact in-committee actions across membership levels and making membership more attainable were key messages received. That is why we have added membership rights and lowered our dues range from the previous $11,200 to $89,500 to a much more reasonable $5,000 to $50,000,” said Mark Pace, President of IGSA.

In summary, the new membership structure is as follows:

Director Level – for companies looking to set the overall IGSA strategic direction

Industry Level – for companies operating in both the land-based and online sectors

Vertical Level – for companies operating in either the land-based or online sectors

Operator Level – for land-based or online casino and sports betting operators

Committee Level – for companies looking to participate in only one or two committees

The new structure provides an opportunity for most levels to be a part of the board of directors after elections, and in-committee voting on IGSA’s work efforts is open to all committee members.

“We are delighted to have IGSA be a part of the return of the RH-ISAC Gaming Workshop to Las Vegas. The workshop will include interactive discussion sessions, threat briefings, and the sharing of leading practices centered on the topic of building secure products for the gaming industry,” said Luke Vander Linden, RH-ISAC VP, Membership & Marketing.

IGSA President Mark Pace said: “IGSA is very excited to be a part of this cyber security workshop where we can highlight the Best Practices that IGSA’s Cyber Resiliency Committee is developing. We believe that working together as an industry and in conjunction with our Regulatory Authority partners, we as the gaming industry can be better prepared to deal with the ever-evolving cyber threats.”
