Why Choose Angelic Insurance?
Gaming is a creative, digital, and global industry. We understand your business may not fit traditional models, which is why we tailor our support to your real-world risks:
Cover for Studios, Developers, and Gaming Facilities
We help game developers, publishers, esports organisers, and gaming cafés compare policies aligned to their specific operations and revenue streams.
Cyber and Data Protection Focus
Gaming platforms rely heavily on digital infrastructure and user data. We help you consider cyber liability cover to address hacking, DDoS attacks, or data leaks.
Intellectual Property Awareness
We support businesses in reviewing cover that may assist in the event of copyright or licensing disputes, which are common in content-heavy sectors like gaming.
Public Liability for In-Person Events
Hosting a tournament or managing a gaming venue? Public liability options help protect against injury or property damage claims from players or attendees.
Fast Support and Documentation
From publisher contracts to event venues, we assist you in securing documentation quickly to keep partnerships and events on track.
Intellectual Property Disputes
Claims related to game content, music, branding, or character likenesses can result in costly legal action. IP-related cover can help defend your business.
Industry Challenges
Gaming businesses are vulnerable to a combination of technical, legal, and reputational risks. Without adequate cover, they may face:
Cybersecurity Breaches
Data breaches or system outages can lead to user backlash, legal claims, and operational downtime. Cyber insurance can assist with incident response and recovery.
Equipment Loss or Damage
Gaming PCs, VR gear, servers, and audio-visual setups are high-value assets. Equipment insurance can help minimise the impact of fire, theft, or accidental damage.
Public and User Liability
If someone is injured during a gaming event or experiences loss due to a faulty product, you may face legal action. Liability cover is essential for in-person and online risks.
Platform or Publisher Requirements
Digital distribution platforms and sponsors often require proof of insurance. Delays in documentation could mean missed launches or lost partnerships.
