David Beckham-owned Guild Esports announces education course to give parents a gaming and online safety power up
In support of Safer Internet Day, Guild Esports is announcing the full roll-out of its Parental Power Up programme, following a successful trial. Curated by industry leading experts, the programme is designed to educate parents on the world of online gaming and equip them with the tools to ensure they stay safe online when gaming.
Parents will also learn the fundamentals of Fortnite to encourage participation in their children’s gaming.
According to a recent Ofcom report 72% of children aged 8-17 play video games online and nearly a quarter of parents (22%) don’t supervise the online activity of 8-11 year olds. This has led to 22% of children chatting to people they don’t know when gaming.
Furthermore, 71% of parents are concerned at the content their children are exposed to online and to address this, Guild set up the Parental Power Up programme to equip parents with the knowledge and tools to ensure their children are safe when gaming online, particularly when doing so autonomously.
Parents that sign up to the Parental Power Up programme will take part in a number of training exercises that help develop their gaming skills and encourage practice sessions with their kids to boost their learning. Guild Esports’ Head of Player Pathway and Safeguarding, Kit Brunswick designed the programme and used popular video game title Fortnite as a basis for many of the activities. Online security forms an integral part of the program and he has integrated a series of safeguarding masterclasses to benefit both parents and kids.
Jed Leicester, a parent participant in the initial pilot scheme (and one of many who now feel more assured letting their child game online unsupervised) said, “It was a thoroughly interesting event that not only showcased the impressive set up at Sky Guild Gaming Centre, but also demonstrated how maturely the coaches worked with the children to map out and explain the skill sets required to achieve greatness within the sport. They clearly identified the potentially harmful concepts and scenarios that we (parents & children) may not have considered whilst immersed in the gaming experience… and helped us better understand how, with the right guidance the virtual and real worlds can happily overlap.”
As part of the programme parents will be invited to the Sky Guild Gaming Centre in London, where they’ll have the opportunity to learn how to engage with their children and set boundaries in a healthy manner and the children will be taught best practice on how to conduct themselves in online spaces.
This programme serves as an extension of the work Guild Esports is already doing in its local community. In 2023, more than 700 children came into Sky Guild Gaming Centre for education days where they also learnt about mental health and nutrition through the vehicle of esports.
Jasmine Skee, CEO of Guild Esports said: “Within our Guild Academy, we’ve always understood the importance of upskilling parents alongside the training that we provide to their children. As the gaming industry continues to grow and more and more young people aspire to work in esports and competitive gaming, we want to lead the charge on ensuring that parents are knowledgeable and digitally savvy, with a broad understanding of the opportunities and ecosystem of the esports industry. We see this upskilling programme as a perfect vehicle to grow this understanding in a way that is engaging and authentic – and to allow them to bond with their children through gaming.”
Guild Esports will be rolling out its parent education initiative programme on a regular basis following the success of the pilot. Parents that want to know more about gaming and esports are invited to register their interest in participating in upcoming programmes [email protected].

Expanse Studios, a B2B iGaming content provider and subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has been granted a Class 2 license by Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), authorizing the company to distribute specialized gaming software across one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.
The license, granted under Decision No. 273, enables Expanse Studios to provide its portfolio of proprietary slot games, crash games, and casino content to licensed Romanian operators. This approval positions the company to serve a market that generated approximately €600 million in gross gaming revenue in 2024 and maintains one of Europe’s highest channelization rates at over 90%.
Strategic Entry into High-Growth Regulated Market
Romania represents one of Eastern Europe’s most dynamic iGaming jurisdictions, with internet penetration reaching 88% of its 19 million population and a regulatory framework that has attracted over 50 licensed operators. The market has demonstrated consistent growth, with total industry turnover exceeding €2 billion in 2023, reflecting a 15% year-over-year increase.
The Class 2 B2B license allows Expanse Studios to distribute content to Romania’s licensed B2C operators without establishing a Romanian entity or paying Romanian corporate taxes, while providing access to a market where mobile gaming dominates and player engagement continues to accelerate.
Romania’s stringent licensing requirements under Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009 make ONJN approval a significant credential for B2B providers. The regulatory framework emphasizes technical compliance, player protection, and operational transparency—requirements that align with Expanse Studios’ existing European operations across 1,300+ casino brands.
“Securing ONJN approval validates our technical capabilities and regulatory compliance standards in one of Europe’s most demanding jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “Romania offers substantial distribution opportunities through licensed operators serving a tech-savvy player base with strong engagement metrics. This license strengthens our European B2B footprint and demonstrates our ability to meet the compliance requirements of mature regulated markets.”
Expanding B2B Distribution Infrastructure
The Romanian license complements Expanse Studios’ recent European partnerships, reflecting accelerating demand for the company’s content across regulated jurisdictions. With 56 proprietary titles including Super Heli, Titan Roulette, and Wild Icy Fruits, Expanse continues scaling its high-margin B2B operations across Europe, Latin America, and North America.
Romania’s market characteristics—including preference for mobile platforms, strong affinity for slot content, and established payment infrastructure—align well with Expanse Studios’ content portfolio and distribution model. The company’s games will be available to Romanian operators seeking certified, compliant content for their licensed platforms.
This license approval reinforces Golden Matrix Group’s broader strategy of expanding regulated B2B operations in jurisdictions with transparent licensing frameworks and sustainable growth trajectories.
