The International Social Games Association (ISGA) is the global industry body for social games companies. We provide a unified voice for the industry in legal, regulatory and policy debates at a time when an increasing number of people play social games and the way that those games are accessed, played and paid for is subjected to on-going scrutiny.

 

Founded in September 2013, following the merger of the Social Gaming Association and the International Social Games Coalition, our members comprise social game makers from established global operators to smaller start ups. We are a not for profit trade association, whose core objective is to educate and inform the public, policy makers and regulators on what the industry does, how it works and the value it generates for both those that love to play social games and for the digital economy.

 

We do this through the development and management of best practice principles, by commissioning original research and engaging with stakeholders across Europe, the US, Asia and Australia in relevant policy and regulatory debates. Our best practice principles aim to shape a consistent and complementary global framework for the social games industry.

​

In parallel, we promote education for end-consumers through our Smart Mobile Gamers portal, which provides guidance, tips and expert advice to help ensure that players of social games have a positive experience.
