YGAM, the award winning charity whose social purpose is to inform, educate and safeguard young people against gaming and gambling harms has been named as the official charity partner of ICE London 2023. The partnership will also see YGAM become the charity partner at the black tie iGB Affiliate London Awards taking place on Thursday February 9th at The Troxy, London’s iconic art deco venue.

Confirming the partnership, Stuart Hunter, Managing Director, Clarion Gaming stated: “We are delighted to welcome YGAM as our official charity partner. YGAM is a progressive organisation which is well-known to and highly respected by many of the ICE London exhibitors and stakeholders.

“In all of the many conversations that we have with the industry safer gambling is at the top of their agenda and we are delighted to be able to use the power of the ICE brand and the platform provided by ICE London to promote safer gambling and raise awareness of the outstanding work undertaken on a daily basis by the team at YGAM.”

He added: “Our commitment to safer gambling is probably best known as a result of the award winning Consumer Protection Zone (CPZ) which we introduced to the ICE show floor in 2018. Each year the CPZ has grown in size and status with the 2023 edition hosting a record 20 stands an increase on the 14 present at the 2022 edition of ICE.

“The CPZ was recognised by the industry at the Global Regulatory Awards and has grown to become arguably the most visible manifestation of safer gambling at any industry trade show. YGAM is one of the charities that we gift space to on the CPZ and will also receive high profile branding on the CPZ theatre and on other high footfall areas of the ICE show floor.”

Ian Shanahan, Director of Business Development and Fundraising at YGAM added: “We are pleased to be working closely with Clarion Gaming again this year. ICE London is the biggest event of its kind, so its profile provides our charity with a valuable platform to raise awareness of the important work that we do to help prevent gaming and gambling harms.

“We’re looking forward to joining colleagues from across the third sector in the Consumer Protection Zone in its prominent location. YGAM will be launching our ambitious new strategy and refreshed brand in 2023 so we’re looking to showcase this at ICE ahead of an exciting year for the charity!”

The charity partnership will also see YGAM confirmed as an ICE Ambassador, receive branding around the show, be part of the official exhibition opening, attend as guests at the Casino Awards and the WRA reception and have fundraising visibility via POS leaflets and QR codes including in the ICE Show Daily newspaper.

SCCG Management, a global leader in gaming advisory and business development, has entered into a strategic partnership with INSTALOCK Network, the esports betting hub that combines data analytics, content, community, news, and educational resources. This collaboration will focus on accelerating business development, go-to-market strategy, and capital-raising efforts to expand INSTALOCK Network’s influence in the growing esports betting sector.

With esports betting already valued at over $11.3 billion, there remains a lack of centralized, easily accessible betting insights and community-driven engagement. INSTALOCK solves this by serving as the go-to daily destination for esports bettors, offering historical betting data, match results, betting projections, expert analytics, and an engagement hub where fans can analyze data and stay updated on the latest matches and esports betting environment. By aggregating insights from stats and several sportsbooks within esports, across major esports titles—including League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and Call of Duty—INSTALOCK simplifies the experience for both casual bettors and seasoned experts while fostering an interactive community built around esports betting.

Through this strategic partnership, SCCG Management will leverage its industry expertise, extensive global network, and business development capabilities to elevate INSTALOCK as the leading esports betting engagement platform. SCCG will support INSTALOCK in identifying high-value partnerships, refining its market strategy across multiple jurisdictions, and assisting in capital-raising efforts to further develop and scale its platform. With a proven history of guiding gaming and betting companies toward sustainable growth, SCCG will play a crucial role in expanding INSTALOCK’s reach and driving user adoption.

“Esports betting is not just about placing wagers—it’s about community, engagement, and shared insights. INSTALOCK is redefining how esports bettors interact by creating a hub where data, predictions, and social conversations all come together in one place. We’re excited to support their expansion and help build the ultimate destination for esports betting enthusiasts,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder & CEO of SCCG Management.

“In 2022, I realized esports betting had tons of potential and growth ahead, but it was hindered by an extremely high barrier to entry due to lack of accessible general information and data. Where to bet, how to bet, when are the major matches taking place, what are community members betting on, what are the experts saying are just some of the questions I wanted to solve in one place with INSTALOCK Network. I’m happy to be a part of this partnership with a SCCG Management team that knows both the betting space and esports space at a high level and look forward to accelerating from this point forward,” said Sabah Banse, Founder of INSTALOCK Network.
