  Future Anthem

  London, UK

  Future Anthem is a London-based B2B data science and artificial intelligence company focused on sports betting and online casino operators. Founded in 2018 by Leigh Nissim and Matt Hudson, the company uses machine learning and behavioural science to tackle two sides of igaming: player protection and real-time personalisation. Its flagship responsible gambling product, Amber, analyses behavioural signals to alert operators to potential harm, while its Aurora platform recommends next-best actions for individual bettors and casino players. The company markets its methodology as Player Science, combining gambling-domain understanding with AI models trained on betting-specific data. Future Anthem supplies licensed operators and platforms rather than running its own consumer-facing gambling business, and has exhibited at major trade events such as ICE Barcelona. It raised about £2.5m from Fuel Ventures in 2021 to support product development and international expansion, and continues to position itself as a specialist AI supplier at the intersection of safer gambling and commercial performance.

  Crypto.com Derivatives North America

  Chicago, United States

  Crypto.com Derivatives North America is the U.S.-regulated derivatives arm of global crypto platform Crypto.com, operating as a CFTC-registered designated contract market from Chicago. The exchange began life in 2009 as the North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex), a retail-friendly venue that offered binary options, bull/bear spreads, and knock-out products with finite risk. After IG Group agreed to sell Nadex and the Small Exchange to Crypto.com in July 2022, the acquisition closed in 2023 and the business was rebranded under its current name. Today it focuses on event contracts, binary options, and spread contracts tied to economic data, cryptocurrencies, financial markets, sports, and cultural outcomes. Its product line blurs the line between conventional derivatives and entertainment-based prediction markets, with regulated event contracts such as the 2026 New York Knicks parade contracts attracting attention in the iGaming and betting trade press. The exchange integrates with Crypto.com's broader ecosystem, giving traders access through the same account infrastructure, while retaining its legacy Chicago presence and adding API access for institutional clients.

• TE

  Tether

  Hong Kong (operational); British Virgin Islands (registered parent)

  Tether Operations Limited is a blockchain and digital-asset infrastructure company best known as the issuer of USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin. Within the iGaming ecosystem, Tether functions as a payments and settlement layer rather than a conventional games or platform supplier: thousands of crypto-friendly online casinos, sportsbooks and white-label gaming sites accept USDT for deposits, withdrawals and balance settlement. Operators rely on it because it gives them a fiat-pegged, low-volatility alternative to Bitcoin and Ethereum, particularly in markets where gambling banking is restricted or local currencies are unstable. Tether was founded in 2014 as Realcoin by Brock Pierce, Reeve Collins and Craig Sellars before being renamed later that year, and it has long been associated with the Bitfinex exchange through the wider iFinex group. Parent entity Tether Holdings Limited is registered in the British Virgin Islands, with operational headquarters commonly reported in Hong Kong. The company has expanded beyond its dollar token into euro, offshore yuan and gold-backed assets, and it regularly appears at blockchain-and-gambling events such as BlockCon. Although Tether holds no gambling licences itself, USDT has become a de facto settlement currency in crypto gambling. This position also brings regulatory scrutiny, making Tether's reserve reporting an important due-diligence issue for iGaming operators.

  QCX LLC

  New York, New York, USA

  QCX LLC is the corporate entity behind Polymarket, a trading contract market where users buy and sell binary outcome contracts on politics, finance, culture, and sport. Rather than operating as a fixed-odds sportsbook, QCX provides a continuous two-sided exchange in which the price of a Yes/No contract reflects the market’s probability estimate for a real-world event. The platform became a prominent prediction-market venue during the 2024 US election cycle, when trading volumes expanded dramatically and brought Polymarket into mainstream financial and political coverage. The company has since pushed into US sports, including a partnership with the New York Yankees that was covered by Global Gaming Insider as part of Polymarket’s sports expansion. This collaboration positions QCX at the intersection of financial exchange trading, fantasy sports, and iGaming, while its event-contract structure places it outside many traditional sportsbook licensing frameworks. The legal context has been shaped by regulatory scrutiny: the predecessor Polymarket operator, Blockratize, Inc., settled with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission in 2022 over off-exchange binary options. QCX’s trading-contract-market positioning is widely read as a response to that history, separating the consumer Polymarket brand from a more regulated event-contract structure.

• SO

  SolutionsHub

  SolutionsHub is a technology and outsourcing company whose clearest connection to the iGaming sector is an article on iGaming Business in the Legal & Compliance section, headlined "The UK sector should prove its case to the Gambling Commission". The article associates the SolutionsHub name with the B2B supplier side of UK gambling regulation rather than with a consumer-facing operator brand. Independent searches for "SolutionsHub iGaming" do not surface a specialist gaming company, and "SolutionsHub gambling" returns mostly generic IT and outsourcing firms, so the company's public profile in the gambling industry is limited. Its exact scale, ownership, founding history and product set are not well documented in available trade coverage. The iGaming Business article is the main verifiable third-party reference connecting the SolutionsHub name to regulated online gambling.

  Camelot Lottery Solutions

  Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

  Camelot Lottery Solutions (CLS) is the international B2B lottery services and technology arm of Camelot Group, the British company that operated the UK National Lottery from 1994 until February 2024. CLS was created to export Camelot's lottery operating model to government and state lotteries outside the UK, offering managed services, core draw technology, retail systems, game portfolios, digital channels, marketing, and responsible-gaming programmes. Camelot Group was founded in 1994 after winning the first UK National Lottery licence and became one of the world's most efficient lottery operators, returning billions of pounds to good causes. The international division came to operate under the Camelot Lottery Solutions name and competed for managed-services contracts alongside IGT, Scientific Games, and Intralot. In 2022, Camelot lost the Fourth National Lottery Licence competition to Allwyn Entertainment; its legal challenge to that decision was dismissed. Allwyn then acquired Camelot Group, including Camelot Lottery Solutions, in a transaction reported at around £100 million, and Allwyn formally took over UK National Lottery operations on 1 February 2024. All scheduled web searches for this profile failed, so the entry is reconstructed from prior knowledge and should be independently verified before publication.
