SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- GGWP, the AI-powered trust and safety platform for live player communities built in gaming, today announced expanded availability of its community safety platform for iGaming operators following live deployments with multiple customers in the sector, including Sportsbet and Tipico. The U.S. iGaming industry saw significant growth in 2025, with revenue reaching $10.73 billion, up 27.6% year-over-year, according to the American Gaming Association. This growth is driving iGaming operators to invest in experiences that extend beyond the wager itself, as evidenced by companies like Flutter Entertainment, which has seen success with its tombola platform. The platform, which includes features such as chat, free-to-play events, and event-driven play, has been instrumental in boosting retention and market share. As iGaming products add chat, live-dealer interaction, creator and influencer communities, comments, and group features, they inherit a set of operational risks that gaming has already had to confront for years. Toxicity, harassment, and coordinated bad behavior are well-documented problems in online gaming communities, and iGaming operators are now taking on that same moderation challenge. Live-hosted gaming, for instance, is inherently social, with interaction between hosts and players, and among players themselves, being a core part of the experience. As the sector grows, safety has to scale with the social layer, and GGWP provides a way to preserve that interaction while identifying and acting on risk in context.
GGWP, which is backed by founders from PayPal, YouTube, Twitch, and Discord, among others, is a content moderation and community health platform that helps companies understand and manage user behavior over time. Built in live-service gaming, one of the most complex real-time environments, GGWP enables organizations to identify risk earlier, protect users, and create stronger, more sustainable communities. Its technology supports moderation, automation, and compliance workflows across text, voice, images, videos, usernames, user reports, and Discord. GGWP's detection capabilities include multimodal coverage across chat, voice, images, video, usernames, player reports, and other supported community surfaces, as well as behavioral context evaluation of patterns and user history. The platform also offers configurable actions, including notifications, warnings, restrictions, escalations, and review paths tied to each operator's policies, as well as auditable decisions that connect the content, context, applicable policy, and resulting action. GGWP also detects attempts to move players off-platform, including exchanged handles, obfuscated contact information, and invitations to private channels where operators lose visibility into scams, coordinated abuse, and recruitment to unlicensed products.
GGWP's transition to a new leadership structure, with George Ng named CEO and Dennis Fong moving into the Chairman role, coincides with a period of strong company momentum, highlighted by a recent $15 million Series A financing round. Operators can schedule a meeting with GGWP at SBC Summit Lisbon or G2E Las Vegas at www.ggwp.com/industries/igaming. As iGaming products add more social features, GGWP's platform is essential for operators to maintain a safe and engaging environment for their players. With the U.S. iGaming industry's revenue reaching $10.73 billion in 2025, up 27.6% year-over-year, according to the American Gaming Association, GGWP's expanded availability and advanced capabilities are crucial for iGaming operators to continue growing and keeping players engaged. The company's recent $15 million Series A financing round underscores its commitment to scaling its platform to meet the growing needs of the iGaming sector.
