BIG Cyber Partners with Maxxsure to Elevate Cybersecurity Offerings to The Global Gaming Industry
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.

Tennessee Sports Wagering Council Takes Action Against Illegal Sportsbook
The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council through its executive director issued $50,000 in fines to Bovada.lv, an unlicensed and therefore illegal sportsbook operating in Tennessee.
Bovada failed to comply with cease and desist letters delivered to addresses in Curaçao, and Council investigators placed wagers through Bovada’s platform on three separate occasions, including as recently as October 16, 2024.
The Sports Gaming Act authorizes the Council to impose a $10,000 fine for the first offense of accepting wagers without a license, which rises to $15,000 for the second offense, and $25,000 for the third offense. Subsequent offenses may lead to the imposition of a $25,000 fine for each occurrence, an occurrence being a single wager accepted in Tennessee.
In the cease and desist letters, the Council ordered Bovada to allow all Tennessee users to withdraw any funds currently held by the unlicensed sportsbook.
“The Sports Wagering Council recommends that Tennessee users of Bovada withdraw their funds immediately. Our primary role is the protection of the public interest through a safe, regulated environment, and Tennessee sports bettors need to know that just because they can access a sports betting website or app inside Tennessee’s borders does not mean it is licensed to do business here,” Mary Beth Thomas, Executive Director of Tennessee Sports Wagering Council, said.
Legal sportsbook operators provide important bettor protections not found in the illegal market. If an individual wagers with unlicensed sportsbooks, their sensitive financial and personal information may not be protected and could even be shared with criminal enterprises. The bettor’s money could be withheld or disappear without a way to recover it.
The SWC is working closely with its network of law enforcement at the state and federal level to eradicate illegal sportsbooks such as Bovada and others.
Tennessee is the largest “online-only” sports betting market in the US, with more than $4.7 billion wagered in Tennessee last fiscal year through online sportsbooks licensed by the Council.
