LAS VEGAS, NV – The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has announced it will overhaul its membership structure and annual dues. Replacing the decades old membership structure of Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels will be a new 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,” said Nimish Purohit, IGSA Chairman. “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 and dues is the result of the feedback from in-depth interviews conducted with current, former, and prospective members,” said Mark Pace, IGSA President. “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 to $89,500 to a much more reasonable $5,000 to $50,000.”
In summary, the new membership structure is as follows:
- Director Level – for companies looking to set the overall IGSA strategic direction
- Industry Level – for companies operating in both the land-based and online sectors
- Vertical Level – for companies operating in either 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 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.
