IGSA Announces New Membership Structure and Dues

Published

on

 

The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has announced it will overhaul its membership structure and annual dues. Replacing the decades old membership structure of Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze levels will be a new model designed to be more inclusive and make membership more affordable while providing each membership level with more privileges.

“While our membership levels have been stable, the industry has changed dramatically. The board of directors wants to expand IGSA and increase inclusivity by making membership affordable to companies from every facet of the industry, including large and small suppliers, content providers, tech-sector companies, and operators,” said Nimish Purohit, Chairman of IGSA.

“The new membership structure and dues is the result of the feedback from in-depth interviews conducted with current, former, and prospective members. Having the ability to impact in-committee actions across membership levels and making membership more attainable were key messages received. That is why we have added membership rights and lowered our dues range from the previous $11,200 to $89,500 to a much more reasonable $5,000 to $50,000,” said Mark Pace, President of IGSA.

In summary, the new membership structure is as follows:

Director Level – for companies looking to set the overall IGSA strategic direction

Industry Level – for companies operating in both the land-based and online sectors

Vertical Level – for companies operating in either the land-based or online sectors

Operator Level – for land-based or online casino and sports betting operators

Committee Level – for companies looking to participate in only one or two committees

The new structure provides an opportunity for most levels to be a part of the board of directors after elections, and in-committee voting on IGSA’s work efforts is open to all committee members.

Online casino with a Nordic twist enters yet another market as it continues to deploy its ambitious international expansion plans

Published

on

Winlandia.com, the online casino brand with a distinctly Nordic feel, has made its debut in Canada as it continues to expand its reach into international markets.

Winlandia is celebrating ten years of Nordic excellence and is now available for Canadian players, with its website available in both English and French.

Canadian players will get a real sense of Finnish Sisu when they sign up to Winlandia for the first time with a generous welcome bonus that is up for grabs.

When it comes to depositing, Winlandia has a well-stocked cashier including Visa, Mastercard, MuchBetter, Paysafecard, Payz, AstroPay and of course, Interac.

Players can expect instant deposits and fast withdrawals, so they get their winnings without delay.

The cool Nordic vibes extend to the online casino lobby where players can explore a vast portfolio of more than 9,000 slot, table, instant win, bingo, Slingo, arcade and live dealer titles.

Just some of the providers available include Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Microgaming, Red Tiger, Play’n GO, Blueprint Gaming, IGT, Scientific Games, Nolimit City and Evolution Gaming.

Winlandia players will be able to benefit from its Personalization Platform that was implemented at the beginning of last year. This means players will get individual game recommendations based on real-time data, a bit like Netflix but for casino games, not movies.

Canadian players can also enjoy some of the most generous promotions in the market, including Daily Picks which sees free spins and other bonuses added to their account each day.

They can also take part in thrilling slot tournaments and go head-to-head with other players and where if they place high on the leaderboard, there are big prizes to be won.

Winlandia is powered by SkillOnNet and has quickly emerged as a top online casino brand in competitive markets such as Finland, Denmark and the UK.

The team behind the site is confident that Canadian players will be drawn to its comprehensive offering and unique Nordic flavour.

Winlandia has extended its collaboration with its premium affiliate partner, Gambling.com, as their exclusive launch partner for the Canadian market. Via their site assets like Gambling.com/ca, players will get an exclusive offer of 100% up to $5,000 + 150 Free spins on Big Bass Bonanza.

Christoffer GrönlundHead of Acquisitions & PR at Winlandia, said: “Players in Canada can now enjoy an authentic Nordic online casino experience that includes thousands of casino games from the biggest providers offered alongside generous bonuses and promotions. 

“Despite being an international brand, localisation is very important to us and that’s why we implemented the payment method Interac to our cashier and ensure we have the most popular game providers for the Canadian market in our game lobby. 

“Canada is a big market and one that we are incredibly excited to enter this market together with our Premium Affiliate Partner Gambling.com/ca. We truly believe that their high volume of quality traffic of players will enjoy what we have to offer at Winlandia.” 

Gary Connelly, Senior Key Account Manager at Gambling.com Group, added: “I’m excited to welcome Winlandia Casino  as they prepare for their Canadian launch. 

“With 10 years of Nordic excellence and trust, a standout design, and an impressive portfolio of over 9,000+ games, Winlandia is well-positioned for success in this market. Following strong results in the UK, I look forward to a successful partnership in Canada, where their fresh player base offers great conversion potential.”
