Veloce Racing becomes first Extreme E team to commit to net-zero carbon target as it joins forces with ALLCOT Group
- Veloce Racing leading the net-zero carbon charge in pioneering all-electric off-road series
- Team aiming to drive change in motorsport industry by joining forces with sustainability solutions provider
- ALLCOT to measure and help offset all of team’s pre and in-season carbon production
Strengthening its resolve to lead the way both on and off the track during the inaugural campaign of Extreme E next year, Veloce Racing has become the first of the innovative electric off-road series’ teams to announce a carbon offset partner, after reaching an agreement with ALLCOT Group.
ALLCOT is a global authority in carbon-offsetting and sustainability initiatives, and teamed up with Extreme E in September with the goal of achieving a net-zero carbon footprint by the end of the championship’s first season.
With environmental sustainability at the very heart of Veloce Racing’s core values – as one of the London-based outfit’s four main pillars, alongside gender equality, automotive electrification and engaging new audiences through esports – the team was eager to make a similar commitment and is the first Extreme E entrant to take this significant step.
The agreement will see ALLCOT measure and help Veloce Racing to offset all of the carbon produced from the moment that the team signed up to compete in Extreme E in September, 2019 – covering the full build-up to the series’ maiden campaign as well as the entire season of racing next year.
Veloce Racing is firmly focussed on its net-zero carbon objective stretching into 2021 and beyond, and in ALLCOT, the team has the perfect partner. The organisation’s tireless work to reduce carbon emissions directly supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, which call upon governments, businesses and communities to protect the planet and put an end to poverty.
In addition to its carbon offset pledge, Veloce Racing’s sustainability credentials will be further enhanced by Extreme E’s environmental ethos. All competing cars will be 100% electric, zero-emission vehicle charging will use Hydrogen Fuel Cells generated by water and solar energy, limited team numbers will be permitted on-event and all freight and logistics will be transported to race locations by boat, which it is estimated will reduce carbon by two-thirds in comparison with air travel.
Daniel Bailey, CEO, Veloce Racing, commented:
“Partnering with ALLCOT Group is a significant moment in Veloce Racing’s journey. Ever since our organisation was founded, we have prided ourselves on being pioneers and leading the way amongst our peers – and sustainability has always been one of our three core pillars.
“ALLCOT Group’s philosophy perfectly matches our own, and offsetting all of our carbon emissions from the moment we joined Extreme E over a year ago is a key element of our participation in this unique championship. We are fully committed to playing our part in the preservation of our planet – and we look forward to working closely with ALLCOT Group to achieve our net-zero carbon objective.”
Alexis Leroy, CEO, ALLCOT Group, commented:
“This landmark partnership with Veloce Racing is a great opportunity to open the path to sustainability leadership not only with Extreme E but also with its main stakeholders, the teams.
“We welcome Veloce Racing’s leadership and look forward to showcasing impacts compensation beyond greenhouse gas. Working hand-in-hand with Veloce Racing in that respect will allow us to send a strong message within the world of motorsport as we hope this initiative will build traction among its peers.”
The 2021 Extreme E season is set to begin in Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia (20-21 March) before moving on to Dakar, Senegal (29-30 May), Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (28-29 August), Para, Brazil (23-24 October) and Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina (11-12 December).

WA.Technology awarded ISO 27001:2022 certification
Leading supplier awarded gold standard for information security management systems with new accreditation
WA.Technology, the award-winning B2B iGaming solutions provider, has reached a new milestone after being awarded the ISO 27001:2022 certification.
The globally recognised standard outlines the robust requirements that companies must meet for information security management systems (ISMS). The certification offers a comprehensive framework for developing, implementing, and maintaining robust data security practices in an online environment.
Being awarded the ISO 27001:2022 certification reflects WA.Technology’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest possible security controls and data integrity standards across its entire organisation.
The process involved an in-depth analysis of WA.Technology’s information security policies and analysis of the procedures and comprehensive security controls in place to protect the business against potential vulnerabilities. These threats include unauthorised data breaches, sharing of information, and other potential risks.
This is the International Organisation for Standardisation’s (ISO) latest version of the 27001 certification, which features enhanced provisions around emerging information security risks and challenges in the digital landscape, including those related to cloud security, remote working, building access, maintenance of company data, and the utilisation of new technologies. An upgrade from the 2013 certification, ISO 27001:2022 provides online-facing organisations with a clear framework for implementing and managing an effective ISMS to protect confidential information.
Francesca Grech, ISO Coordinator at WA.Technology, celebrated the new certification: “We are delighted to have received the ISO 27001:2022 certification – this is a true reflection of our commitment to upholding the highest standards in information and cyber security and improving our overall risk management and operational efficiency.”
“ISO 27001:2022 is the gold standard for security for any online business; it is no longer a ‘nice to have’ certification but an essential. At WA.Technology, we thoroughly understand the importance of deploying robust security systems across our entire business. This is imperative not only to protect our partners’ information but also to build trust and enhance credibility and confidence too.”

Spinomenal releases ‘Break the Piggy’ Bank title
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has enhanced its impressive slot portfolio with the release of Break the Piggy Bank. The game is part of the Classics Series.
A vault stacked high with gold coins sets the scene for this fun slot game that is presented within a 5×3 frame. Sacks of gold coins, pigs, wads of cash and a dazzling diamond make up the medium symbols.
Three or more Golden Piggy Bank symbols will instantly launch the Free Spins mode. Here players can win 10 Free Spins with three Piggy Banks, 15 Free Spins with four, and cool 20 Free Spins with five. Find the Golden Hammer to break into the Piggy Bank and players will benefit from its power to substitute for all other symbols except for the scattered Free Spins symbol.
Spinomenal’s Instant Cash feature is in play too and will activate every time the reel spins and the Instant Cash symbol will randomly present four possible values that are collected in Free Spins. Instant Cash symbols are possible to save up during the round before they grow the Free Spins metre at the top of the reels.
Once four Wild symbols are secured, players will earn 10 additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins finishes. It also means that the Small Instant Cash symbol (pays x2 or x5 of the total bet) turns into a Medium Instant Cash symbol which pays out x10 or x15 of the total bet.
Eight Wild symbols discovered means players will collect six further free spins on all future spins until the free spins end. The Medium Instant Cash symbols are transformed into Large Instant Cash symbols, which pays out x20 or x25 of the total bet.
After finding 12 Wilds symbols, players collect another four additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. This then takes players to the final level where the Huge Instant Cash symbol is activated and pays either x50 or x2000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Players will be lining up to take a spin on our latest game to join the classics series, Break the Piggy Bank. We’re on the money again with this one as the free games and Instant Cash mechanic promise a wealth of fun.”
