Company Now Offering Maxxsure`s M-Scoreࡊ, Measuring Cyber-Risk and Enabling Companies to Make Informed Cyber Protection Decisions
BIG Cyber, a BMM Innovation Group Company dedicated to providing robust cybersecurity solutions, today announced a groundbreaking partnership with Maxxsure in a strategic move to elevate its portfolio of cybersecurity services and solutions. Maxxsure is a leading authority in risk assessment and cybersecurity solutions known for the M-Scoreࡊ, the most accurate cyber-risk rating in the market.
This collaboration, which allows BIG Cyber to offer Maxxsure`s solutions and services exclusively to the global gaming market, marks a significant milestone for both companies as they join forces to deliver unparalleled cybersecurity protection.
BIG Cyber`s Chief Executive Officer Amit Sharma said, “We are thrilled to partner with Maxxsure, a company renowned for its innovative approach to risk assessment and cybersecurity. This partnership enhances our capabilities, allowing us to deliver even more robust and tailored solutions to our clients.”
The highlight of this collaboration is the integration of Maxxsures M-Scoreࡊ service into BIG Cyber`s
catalog of cybersecurity offerings. This innovative service identifies an organizationߣs current and potential cyber-risks, evaluates their preparedness and resiliency against a cyber-event, and estimates potential financial loss. The M-Scoreࡊ provides decision-makers with a quantifiable metric, offering invaluable insights to enhance cybersecurity strategies, fortify digital defenses, and secure cybersecurity insurance.
Maxxsure`s Chief Executive Officer Shawn Wiora said:”This is going to be a gamechanger for the gaming industry. Gaming companies need state-of-the-art tools to quantify their financial risk and then fortify their exposure through cyber-insurance and remediation. Together, BIG Cyber and Maxxsure are poised to set new benchmarks in cyber risk management, delivering cybersecurity solutions tailored to the global casino gaming industry.”;
Sharma added: “Through this collaboration, we hope to acquire the majority of the total addressable market for cyber-risk quantification within the next two years. The gaming industry is vulnerable following recent and well-publicized attacks on large casino operators. With this partnership, BIG Cyber and Maxxsure will help gaming companies quantify their cyber-risk down to the dollar. Once our partners receive their M-Scoreࡊ and probable maximum loss calculation, BIG Cyber will be able to help de-risk their financial exposure by transferring a portion of their risk to cyber-insurance or by implementing the latest cybersecurity technology.”;
This partnership debuts at ICE London, where BIG Cyber and Maxxsure invite casino operators, suppliers, and leaders to visit stand N3-520 and explore the cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions of this dynamic partnership.

BigCash, India’s leading online skill-based real money gaming company, has set its sights on global expansion and aims to offer an unparalleled gaming experience to users worldwide. The global skill-based gaming market is estimated to grow annually at a CAGR of 13.50% and will be valued at USD 106.78 billion, by 2032. Building on its success in India, BigCash is poised to introduce its entertaining games to global audiences, uniquely blending local flavors with its hallmark innovative gameplay.
BigCash started its journey in 2017 and has quickly become players’ preferred choice, by strategically focusing on launching new games and features regularly and due to its superfast and user-friendly interface. Being a multi-gaming app, it offers a wide range of games tailored for all age groups. With popular Indian card games, like poker, rummy, and call break with regional variations; casual games like ludo, ice blaster, fruit chop, along with fantasy cricket, the platform resonates deeply with the players of Bharat.
Continuing on the mission to take Indian technology global and to reach a wider global gaming audience, BigCash, after months of an in-depth market study, had set its views on expanding its global presence with in-house developed and tailored gaming technology and experience. BigCash presently operates in Brazil, besides India.
One of the key reasons behind BigCash’s entry into the Latin American market is the region’s immense potential for growth in the gaming sector. Brazil, in particular, has emerged as a hotspot for gaming companies due to its large population, favorable demographics, and a growing middle class with disposable income.
BigCash’s global expansion plans include multiple launches in Latin America, Asia, and Africa over the next 12 months. BigCash plans to offer local and international flavors, customized specifically for each country, with a focus on Responsible Gaming and other trust measures, to ensure a deeper bonding with the players.
Ankur Singh, CEO of BigCash, said: “Going global has been part of our strategic planning always; with our launch in Brazil, we have just taken the first step. We are aspiring to be present in 8 countries in the next 12 months. The competitive landscape in Latin America’s gaming industry presents both opportunities and challenges. BigCash is a perfect fit for the Latin American gaming landscape due to our stronghold on tech, which allows product customizations, easy-to-play online games, a supersafe and fast experience; we are already gaining a lot of organic traction.”

The Michigan Lottery announced that it will transition to the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-GAMBLER for responsible gaming support. This aligns the agency with the Michigan Gaming Control Board and other online gaming platforms operating in Michigan in promoting 1-800-GAMBLER. The 1-800-GAMBLER helpline will replace the Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline currently in circulation (1-800-270-7117), although the previous number will remain in operation.
“The Lottery is committed to providing Michiganders with easy access to resources that support responsible gaming. By transitioning to 1-800-GAMBLER, we are able to ensure that Michigan residents can reach specially trained staff who can provide confidential professional support, local referrals, and resources to those who may have a gambling problem,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli.
Operated by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), 1-800-GAMBLER is the world’s largest problem gambling helpline network by call volume, population served, and geographic area covered. The helpline connects people and families impacted by problem gambling with professional support, local referrals, and resources.
Calls made to 1-800-GAMBLER from Michigan will be routed to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The helpline can also be reached by texting 800GAM or chatting online at 1800gamblerchat.org. Trained contact center staff are available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide support, guidance, and relevant information to anyone seeking help related to problem gambling. Additionally, players or their family members may connect to support resources such as live chat, text, and the helpline number by selecting the links in the footer of the Lottery’s website.
The Michigan Lottery was the first lottery in the US to achieve the Internet Responsible Gambling Compliance Assessment Program certification through NCPG in October 2015. The NCPG evaluated the Lottery’s compliance with Internet Responsible Gaming (IRG) standards developed based on best practices from jurisdictions around the world. IRG standards are the highest standards for online responsible gaming in the nation.
