The International Gaming Standards Association on Wednesday announced a change to its membership structure and annual dues.
Replacing a previous precious metals membership structure of platinum, gold, silver and bronze levels is a 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,” IGSA Chairman Nimish Purohit said in a statement. “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.”
The new membership structure:
- Director Level: For companies looking to set the overall IGSA strategic direction
- Industry Level: For companies operating in the land-based and online sectors
- Vertical Level: For companies operating in 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 membership structure and dues is the result of the feedback from in-depth interviews conducted with current, former and prospective members,” IGSO President Mark Pace said. “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 – $89,500 to a much more reasonable $5,000 – $50,000,” he added.
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.
