New Initiative Provides 5% Back on Existing Infrastructure Spend to Drive Proactive Cyber Defense Across the Industry
Continent 8 Technologies has officially introduced Loyalty+, a specialized cybersecurity rewards program designed for its customers across the iGaming and online sports betting sector. The program is structured to provide customers with 5% back on existing expenditures, effectively converting regular purchases across cloud solutions, co-location, AWS, and managed services into redeemable cybersecurity credits. These credits can then be applied toward critical security services, including penetration testing, phishing simulations, MSOC, and MDR burst spend.
Addressing Escalating Cyber Risks and Platform Complexity
Continent 8 positioned the launch as a major strategic push toward encouraging proactive cybersecurity adoption among industry operators, suppliers, and content providers. The company highlighted surging threat levels within the sector, noting a claimed 400% increase in cyber incidents affecting the iGaming industry between 2023 and 2025, alongside statistics showing that third-party vulnerabilities account for 60% of data breaches.
Anthony Abou-Jaoude, Chief Transformation Officer at Continent 8 Technologies, emphasized the growing operational vulnerabilities, stating:
“Modern iGaming platforms are becoming increasingly complex, with multiple third-party components, distributed environments, and growing performance demands, each introducing new potential points of risk. Security can no longer be treated as a bolt-on. With Loyalty+, we want to make cybersecurity adoption front of mind, supporting greater protection across the industry while rewarding the loyalty of our customers.”
