BGaming promises ‘futuristic and funky’ art collaboration at ICE London 2024
Popular iGaming content producer BGaming is gearing up for ICE London 2024 with its first artist collaboration of the year, featuring futuristic work from one of the city’s veteran graffitists.
The award-winning studio has teamed up with British muralist Mr Cenz, whose electrifying interpretations of BGaming’s top game heroes, including Elvis Frog, Penny Pelican, Book of Cats, and Aztec Magic, will be on display at the BGaming’s booth as part of its fifth artistic collaboration.
As with each artistic alliance, Mr Cenz has offered a new take on the characters, this time going back to his roots by hand-drawing designs, spray painting them onto wooden panels in his studio and taking images to blend with the stand.
In addition to large-scale displays, Mr Cenz’s creations will appear on limited-edition merchandise and other gifts for BGaming’s partners.
The initiative, dubbed ‘When Art Meets Gaming’, is now in its second year, following successful displays at ICE London, iGB Live Amsterdam, SBC Summit Barcelona and SiGMA World Malta in 2023.
BGaming will also demonstrate its latest release, Aztec Clusters, which was developed with the help of streaming data insights of Casinolytics. The team will offer engaging activities to celebrate the new game, along with other interactive elements and demonstrations of its packed roadmap.
The rapidly expanding provider’s attendance at ICE London 2024 follows a hugely successful year, with a 95% boost in global gaming revenue (GGR), a string of award wins and entry into 10 new markets to name just a few achievements.
Marina Ostrovtsova, CEO at BGaming, said: “We are returning to ICE London this year as a bigger and better studio, excited by our huge growth in 2023.
“We remain committed to building creative experiences for our players and nothing demonstrates this better than our popular local artist collaborations. We have teamed up with Mr Cenz to design an energetic stand that we are sure will inspire partners old and new, and spark inspiring conversations for the year ahead.”
Graffiti artist, Mr Cenz, said: “It was a pleasure to work on this project. Interpreting the characters in my style was a big challenge, especially the animals and cacti. I’m used to painting in a more photorealistic way, but in this instance, I enjoyed going back to my graffiti roots and combining this with an illustrative approach.
“The characters were fun to paint, and I really enjoyed bringing them to life with my unique, futuristic and funky flow.”

eCOGRA Approved to Operate in Arizona, Indiana and Panama
eCOGRA, a leading international authority in Testing, Inspection and Certification services for the iGaming industry, has secured new regulatory approvals across three key jurisdictions: Arizona, Indiana and Panama. With these developments, eCOGRA strengthens its position in the U.S. and Latin American markets, offering excellence in compliance through their Quality, Speed, and Service promise.
This strategic expansion allows eCOGRA to conduct independent compliance audits and certification services in each region, addressing the growing demand for rigorous regulatory oversight in the fast-evolving global iGaming industry.
Securing approval in Arizona, where eCOGRA has now been licensed as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier, enables the International Testing Laboratory (ITL) to audit event wagering licensees in line with Arizona’s expanding regulatory landscape. Indiana, which introduced online sports betting in September 2019, has authorised eCOGRA to perform regulatory compliance audits, providing licensed operators with crucial assurance in meeting the state’s high standards.
In Panama, the Board of Gaming Control officially recognised eCOGRA as an Authorised Entity for Compliance Certification, specifically for slot machines and gaming software. This endorsement reinforces eCOGRA’s role as a trusted partner for operators seeking to meet stringent regulatory requirements in Latin America’s emerging iGaming sector.
“Our recent approvals in Indiana, Arizona, and Panama underline our dedication to continually expand our offering, to support our growing portfolio of clients with their global growth plans. We are committed to ensuring that we bring the same quality, speed and service that marks us out to both our clients and regulators in these dynamic markets,” said Will Shuckburgh, Group CEO of eCOGRA.
Bradley Khoury, Chief Technology Officer at eCOGRA, said: “Securing licensure as an Event Wagering Ancillary Supplier in Arizona and an Authorised Entity in Panama underscores our dedication to supporting responsible and sustainable iGaming operations. We are committed to driving trust and accountability within the industry by providing compliance solutions that uphold the highest standards.”

Goa Introduces an Entirely Online Lottery Platform
In a move towards modernising India’s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.
Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. “Our mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,” Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.
Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. “With our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,” Gad remarked. “The technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.”
This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
