Do you know your Nintendo Wii from your PSP? The range of games available to play on game consoles is vast.

But there is one particular game which is causing a furore among the industry's fraud detectives.

No, the IFB isn't learning how to detect fraud exag-geration by using computer simulation.

The exact opposite,in fact.

Forget racing in the virtual streets of Gran Turismo, a new game will earn points if you are able to rip off your insurance company.

The bigger financial rewards you are able to claim the more points you get.

With the prisons full perhaps training criminals is an ironic attempt at keeping fraudsters out of jail?

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
