iGB (formerly iGaming Business) is the leading B2B media, events, and intelligence brand serving the global online gambling industry. Founded in 2002 as a print magazine, it has evolved into a multi‑platform hub that covers regulatory, commercial, and technological developments across iGaming, sports betting, and affiliate marketing. Its portfolio includes a daily news website, two major conferences – iGB Affiliate (focused on the affiliate channel) and iGB Live! (for operators and suppliers) – plus the iGB Awards, market intelligence reports, webinars, and digital roundtables. The brand is owned by Clarion Events, a UK‑based events organiser that was acquired by Informa PLC in 2023. iGB is widely regarded as an authoritative source for industry data, thought leadership, and networking, attracting thousands of attendees to its events each year and serving as the official media partner for numerous industry trade bodies.
Detailed Review
iGB began life as iGaming Business magazine in 2002, founded by a team of industry journalists to fill a gap in independent, in‑depth analysis for the nascent online gaming sector. The print publication quickly gained a loyal readership among operators, suppliers, and regulators. As digital media expanded, the brand moved online, launching a daily news site and later expanding into events.
In the early 2010s, Clarion Events acquired iGB and integrated it into its gaming division. Under Clarion, the brand was rebranded from iGaming Business to the shorter iGB and the event portfolio was renamed: the former EiG (European iGaming Congress) became iGB Live!, and the affiliate conference Affiliate Conference became iGB Affiliate. These events are now two of the largest dedicated iGaming trade shows in Europe, with iGB Affiliate attracting over 3,000 delegates annually.
In addition to events, iGB operates a digital newsroom that publishes daily breaking news, exclusive interviews, and analyst‑led features. The iGB Awards recognise excellence across categories such as operator of the year, supplier innovation, and responsible gambling. The brand also produces proprietary data reports (e.g., the iGB Data series) and hosts virtual roundtables on topics like emerging markets and regulation.
iGB’s business model is primarily B2B: revenue comes from event ticket sales, sponsorship, advertising, and data subscription fees. The brand competes with other media such as Gambling Insider, SBC News, and Casino Beats, but holds a distinctive position due to its long‑standing heritage and its focus on both the operator and affiliate communities. In 2023, Clarion Events was acquired by Informa PLC, who have since invested in digital expansion for iGB, including enhanced data tools and an extended webinar series.
