Quotes

“We are thrilled to broaden our partnership with Waffle and provide the gaming community with cyber insurance that not only protects their financial investments in digital gaming assets, but also keeps their focus on getting to the next-level and venturing boldly into the virtual world”

Laura headshot

Laura Bennett

President of the North America Digital Consumer Division at Chubb

“Gaming is one of my go-to activities for relaxing, and the last thing I want to deal with are hackers stealing my account. Personally, I lost my COD: Warzone account to hackers, and I just lost my interest to grind through the achievements and unlocks again. Many of my friends had similar experiences. Cyber insurance for gaming can remove this frustration and allow me to game in peace”

Michael Li

Chief Data Officer

“From Zelda to Call of Duty with every Witcher, FIFA and 2048 in between, we live and breathe gaming. As gamers, we know firsthand the thrill of exploring new worlds and achieving epic victories within our favorite games. We also understand the gut-wrenching feeling of losing everything in an instant because of a cyberattack. Whether it's our digital game collection or cherished in-game purchases, these are more than just virtual assets – they represent the time and effort we've invested into our passion. That's why we teamed up with Blink by Chubb to bring personalized cyber protection to fellow gamers. We're on a mission to empower gamers to play fearlessly and protect what matters most to them”
