Clarion Gaming has confirmed that the 2025 Barcelona editions of ICE and iGB Affiliate will be recorded as the biggest gathering of gambling industry professionals in history.

Ahead of the final analysis being completed Clarion Gaming Managing Director Stuart Hunter stated: “Whilst we are in the process of undertaking all of the forensic checks and data interrogations I can confirm that the combined attendance for both shows will set a new world attendance record for any gambling event.

“We are confidently predicting an attendance of at least 56,000 industry professionals which exceeds the previous high of 52,345 set 12-months ago in London. We have taken the unprecedented step of announcing these figures due to the level of interest generated by what were two historic events.

“The final analysis will allow us to declare the number of unique visitors for both ICE and iGB Affiliate, the number of visitor days completed and a breakdown of nations represented. I can say that all of the indicators are in positive territory.”

Reflecting on the delivery of ICE and iGB Affiliate 2025, Stuart Hunter added: “We will commence a comprehensive company-wide debrief in week commencing 3rd February but all of the feedback published across every media channel and the comments that have been sent direct to me have been hugely positive.

“I believe the experience we enjoyed in Barcelona and the window it provided on the industry was a result of a number of factors. Our world class exhibitors and the contractors they employed delivered an unbelievable representation of the industry, the Clarion Gaming team showed why they are the very best in the business working seamlessly with their peers at the Fira Gran Via Barcelona, the marketing and creative campaign resonated with our stakeholder communities and finally our host city demonstrated why it is such a popular international destination.

“The decision to relocate to Barcelona was driven by our customers and I am delighted that we have been able to bring their vision to life and in the process set new standards for the delivery of what are genuinely world class global business events catering for every sector of the gambling technology industry.”

As well as hosting 1,000 gambling brands ICE and iGB Affiliate included a wide ranging program of features, seminars and events including:

  • the World Gaming Forum,
  • ICE Esports Invitational,
  • the Sustainable Gambling Zone,
  • Pitch ICE,

Online casino groupCasimba Gaming has appointed Vega Gibraltar to drive its ambitious expansion plans in the UK across Performance Marketing. 

Having previously worked with multiple agencies, Casimba Gaming made the decision to shift much of its strategy inhouse but recognised the need for a partner that can bring strategic firepower, speed, and fresh market insight without compromising on quality or control 

The partnership is designed to integrate tightly with Casimba’s internal teams, offering agencyscale support while operating with the accountability and attention to detail typically only found inhouse.  

For Vega Gibraltar, the partnership marks another important milestone for an agency that began trading less than 12 months ago, after being founded by Carl Hallam and Steven Taylor.  

Carl Hallam, Co-Founder at Vega Gibraltar, said: We’re incredibly proud to be working with Casimba Gaming. From day one, it’s felt like a true collaboration, and that’s exactly the kind of partnership we built Vega Gibraltar for.” 

Casimba know exactly what great execution looks like and expects nothing less. That’s why this partnership works.  

“We’ve always said the best work happens when we’re treated as an extension of the team, not an external agency.  

We’re not here to replace inhouse; we’re here to enhance it, with insight, scale, and speed that unlock growth. That shared mindset is already delivering excellent results.” 

Michael Curran, Head of Marketing at Casimba Gaming, added: “In the past, we found that most agencies couldn’t match the precision or ownership we get from our internal teams. But Vega is different.”  

They’ve already integrated very quickly, as a result, we’re seeing impressive KPI improvements across the board. Bringing a strategic perspective and genuinely caring about performance.  

“It feels less like hiring an agency, and more like gaining a highimpact extension of our team. We’re excited to see what we can achieve together!

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) reaffirmed its commitment to quality governance standards after successfully maintaining its ISO 9001:2015 certification.

The certification, granted by DQS Certification Philippines, Inc. (DQS), came after a series of rigorous surveillance and scope extension audits conducted from December 16 to 20, 2024.

The recognition was formalized during an awarding ceremony today, April 24, at PAGCOR’s Corporate Office in Pasay City, affirming PAGCOR’s adherence to international quality management standards.
