Yield Sec CEO Ismail Vali to address European Casino Association (ECA) Industry Forum
Ismail Vali, founder and CEO of Yield Sec, will be delivering insights across the spectrum of betting, gaming and lottery marketplace participation and the fight against criminal, black-market operations when he addresses this week’s European Casino Association (ECA) Industry Forum.
The ECA event, taking place in Vienna, Austria, from September 27-30, 2022, is a celebrated forum for sector stakeholders and leaders to meet, debate and discuss key issues affecting the licensed online and land-based gambling industry across Europe.
Ismail will be speaking on the topic of Marketplace Protection: Legal versus Illegal, focusing upon the helplessness all legal stakeholders have felt in relation to the black market. He will discuss how government, regulators, legal operators and suppliers, law enforcement, and even customers, can now be supported and protected by Yield Sec, which seeks to make it unprofitable for illegal operators to remain active in what must become secure, optimized and contained iGaming marketplaces.
Ismail Vali, Founder and CEO of Yield Sec, said: “The sustainability of every regulated gambling marketplace relies upon legal stakeholder abilities to directly challenge crime, whilst optimizing and protecting their own interests and operations.
“I look forward to discussing the ways we have, as communities, been trying to deal with the problem of illegal gambling, to date, and how the Yield Sec platform and our proprietary approaches and techniques will help each legal stakeholder take control back to ensure that betting, gaming, and lottery activity no longer funds crime – it funds our onshore commerce and communities.”
The United Nations estimate that criminal black-market operators generate up to $1.7 trillion per year in illegal sports betting and horse race wagers alone, seriously impacting revenue for legal, licensed operators and the consequent taxation and community support that governments can hope to raise from the sector. The unchecked presence of black-market activity additionally breeds unsafe consumer environments and exponentially increases the risks of gambling-related harm as illegal operators face no regulatory oversight or compliance controls.
The Yield Sec technical intelligence platform helps reduce and restrict illegal operator presence and profitability by denying these criminal entrants the oxygen of marketing to acquire new audiences and reach or reactivate existing customers. Yield Sec identifies all gambling activity in an individual jurisdiction and, through the application of its proprietary tech, processes, AI, machine learning and expert human interaction, delivers actionable benefits and value for each legal stakeholder client.
This helps them optimize and protect their own operations and reality, which, in turn, positively impacts the marketplace ecosystem. Societies will only realise meaningful and sincere responsible gambling where measures are uniformly applied amongst a contained group of compliant licensed operators, and the legal industry is able to grow sustainably whilst supplying predictable taxation and good causes receipts for the government and the community. Each of these goals is only realised through the reduction and removal of criminal black-market gambling activity.
Hermann Pamminger, Secretary General of the European Casino Association (ECA) said: “The European Casino Association is pleased to invite an expert such as Ismail Vali to speak at our Industry Forum and advise upon how we should best identify, approach, and challenge the black-market menace that has plagued our industry and communities for far too long.
“We welcome the opportunity to discuss practical measures to call out illegal activity while reinforcing meaningful, responsible gambling practices adopted consistently by our licensed and regulated members. As an integral part of the international entertainment industry, we must all play by the same rules.”

Play’n GO recruits the entire Wilde family for their latest adventure, Wildest Gambit
Play’n GO invites players to join the Wilde family in Wildest Gambit, a globe-trotting 5×3 slot that combines adventure, mystery, and massive win potential with an x20,000 Multiplier.
Wildest Gambit unites the legendary Wilde family – Rich, Cat, and Uncle Gerard – in an epic journey across four unique destinations. From the golden sands of Egypt to the dense jungles of South America, players will experience a dynamic blend of Expanding, Sticky, and Multiplier Wilds. These Wilds can be activated in both the base game and Free Spins: offering players more opportunities to score big wins. Each location brings a unique challenge, rewarding intrepid explorers with treasure beyond their wildest dreams.
The slot’s defining mechanics include the fusion of three distinct Wilds: Sticky Wilds lock in place to trigger Re-Spins, Expanding Wilds stretch across the reels for more winning potential, and Multiplier Wilds offer up to x8 win boosts. By combining these features, Wildest Gambit crafts a multi-layered adventure, reflecting Play’n GO’s commitment to delivering immersive experiences and engaging narratives.
Fans of the series will notice nods to earlier titles like Rich Wilde and the Tome of Insanity (2024) and Gerard’s Gambit (2023). Equally, fans of the Play’n GO classic Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead (2016) and Pilgrim of Dead (2023) may find the game mechanically similar with the presence of Expanding Symbols.
However, Wildest Gambit pushes the adventure to new heights with its family-focused narrative and inventive Wild combinations, creating a fresh yet familiar experience. Players looking for excitement, exploration, and engaging gameplay will find it all here.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin, said: “Wildest Gambit is a standout title in our Wilde saga. By combining three Wild features across various locations, we’ve given players new layers of gameplay and greater win potential.”
With its stunning visuals, engaging features, and the legendary Wilde family leading the charge, Wildest Gambit promises an unforgettable journey. Prepare to explore new horizons with every spin!

SavageTech launches SKINS to power up igaming brands’ sponsorship deals
SavageTech, the world’s first true gamified retention solution, has launched SKINS, enabling operators to extract more value from their sponsorship IP deals.
SavageTech, which was launched in April this year by esports and iGaming entrepreneur Tom Lemke, is a plug-and-play widget that adds a seamless engagement layer for players.
Requiring just a single line of code, SavageTech gamifies the gambling experience with integrated bonus rewards, quest-based cross-sale opportunities and community building with social leaderboards.
SavageTech is currently integrating with five B2C brands – with the first expected to go live early next year – and announced its first significant product update during the SiGMA Europe Summit in Malta last week with the launch of SKINS.
SKINS allows clients to customise the theme of the gamification layer, including the avatar, progression challenges and rewards. For example, the avatar can become a football player improving their skills and winning trophies or a soldier earning equipment and winning battles.
Themes can be fully customised to best engage operators’ audiences and adapted to maximise value from sponsorship IP deals.
Lemke, a founder of two of Germany’s biggest esports teams in Mousesports and BIG, said: “Many brands spend a serious chunk of their marketing budget on licensing IP and SavageTech provides another channel to maximise value from those deals.
“Imagine your audience playing as real football stars or beloved characters. Using SavageTech, companies can showcase real athletes, entertainers, or branded avatars, instantly enhancing engagement and immersion.
“The feedback we’ve received from clients and prospects made SKINS a product priority for us. Sportsbooks and Casinos are now able to fully customise the SavageTech widget to make sure it’s highly relevant to players and therefore an even stronger loyalty tool.
“SavageTech has been built to tackle a growing problem facing many igaming companies in that Gen Y and Z customers find gambling boring. True gamification helps solve that problem and there is simply no cheaper way to retain valuable players, including VIPs.”
