Published

Ismail Vali, founder and CEO of Yield Sec, will be delivering insights across the spectrum of betting, gaming and lottery marketplace participation and the fight against criminal, black-market operations when he addresses the forthcoming Global Gaming G2E Expo.

G2E Las Vegas takes place across October 10-13 at the Venetian Expo and will welcome more than 18,000 industry professionals from around the world.

Ismail will be speaking again on the subject: The Betting & Gambling Marketplace. Ismail’s identification that there should only be one expression of the marketplace – the legal, licensed and regulated one – and a move away from using meaningless labels, like “black market” and “gray market”, that seek to define an illegal operator’s unwelcome presence in a regulated jurisdiction by color, when, in fact we should only describe that operator’s reality by its actual name: Crime.

Ismail will be sharing the stage with one of his Industry heroes, Michael Pollock, Managing Director of Spectrum Gaming Group, who will lead a discussion on criminal interference towards land-based resorts. Both these celebrated experts will comprehensively inform, discuss and shatter the myths that criminal operators are somehow beneficial for consumers, industry or any other legal stakeholder group. Ismail Vali, the inventor of the Yield Sec marketplace optimization and protection platform that helps all legal stakeholders take control back from illegal, unlicensed operators and the negative impact they create for our commerce and communities, will deliver the keynote speech from Deep Dive: Illegal Operators & The Marketplace on Monday, October 10th at 11:20 AM-12:10 PM PST at Titian 2205.

Attendees will be presented with an in-depth discussion on the current status of the illegal black market and how the bad actors behind illegal gaming companies are impacting State taxation, Tribal taxation, impact state and tribal governments, consumers, communities and legal, regulated operators and suppliers.

Ismail Vali, Founder and CEO of Yield Sec, said: “Since we launched Yield Sec in August this year, I have been overwhelmed by the positive and celebratory reaction from our clients. Further stakeholder conversations will allow us to develop imminent and future engagement that will see our platform develop internationally, faster, and sooner to those who identify our platform, already, as the only possible solution to keep them in business, profitably, and able to provide good causes funding for healthcare, education and others.

“I’m honored to be joined on the keynote stage by a long-time industry hero of mine: Michael Pollock. I am excited to show Michael and Nevada what I built from an idea and have progressed to a perfect solution for all legal stakeholders.”

The Yield Sec technical intelligence platform utilizes proprietary technology developed for military counter-insurgency purposes and helps reduce and restrict illegal operator presence and profitability. With a Focus on denying criminal entrants the oxygen of marketing to acquire new audiences and reach or reactivate existing customers. Yield Sec identifies all gambling activity in an individual jurisdiction and, through the application of its proprietary tech, processes, AI, machine learning, and expert human interaction, delivers actionable benefits and value for each legal stakeholder client.

This helps them optimize and protect their own operations and reality, which, in turn, positively impacts the marketplace ecosystem. Societies will only realize meaningful and sincere responsible gambling where measures are uniformly applied amongst a contained group of compliant licensed operators, and the legal industry is able to grow sustainably whilst supplying predictable taxation and good causes receipts for the government and the community. Each of these goals is only realized through the reduction and removal of criminal black-market gambling activity.

The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has launched the “Know Your Play” campaign in partnership with EPIC Global Solutions, Kindbridge Behavioral Health, and the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC). This is a major initiative designed to provide college-aged students with detailed content focused on responsible gaming, mental health and well-being, and financial literacy.

“College students are learning to navigate newfound financial independence and equipping this age group with resources to make informed decisions that can build good financial habits will serve them throughout their lives, whether they engage in gaming or not. While previous programs have focused on student-athletes, our campaign intends to educate the broader student population about responsible gaming concepts that can help this age group set realistic expectations and see gaming as a form of entertainment, not as a way of making money,” ROGA Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Shatley said.

The campaign utilizes digital learning tools, resources, and videos available to all college-aged students at knowyourplay.org, even if they are not enrolled in a university. These resources will educate students on key responsible gaming concepts, including randomness, impulsiveness, and limit setting, while addressing myths like the illusion of control in sports betting. It will also focus on the role stress and mental health play in overall student wellbeing and provide practical tips for management. Additionally, extended resources will be piloted with select universities.

“EPIC has vast expertise and experience in creating programs that resonate with college-aged audiences and are delighted to partner with ROGA on a campaign that will provide critical education to college students across the country. By combining expert knowledge with personal stories, our program aims to foster a well-rounded understanding of financial literacy, decision-making, and risk-taking,” Teresa Fiore, SVP of Partnerships at EPIC Global Solutions, said.

The campaign will begin rolling out at college campuses over the next several weeks with in-person learning sessions and workshops in tandem with digital delivery tools for greater accessibility and reach, ensuring that the program effectively engages students across diverse campuses and demographics.

“College life presents unique pressures, from financial independence to academic performance, all of which can impact mental health. By fostering decision-making skills that bridge these areas, we’re helping students build resilience, manage stress, and develop healthy habits that will serve them well beyond their college years,” Kindbridge Group CEO Daniel Umfleet, said.

“College students face an increased risk of harm from gambling, making prevention education essential in protecting this important audience. RGC has a long history of creating prevention programs for young adults, and we are proud to partner with ROGA on this crucial initiative. This campaign will equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions should they choose to gamble. By providing valuable information, digital tools, and resources, we are empowering young adults to approach gambling with a lower-risk mindset and reduce potential harm,” RGC CEO Sarah McCarthy said.
