Safer gambling hub launched to help clubs and fans

Published

on

 

The UK Football Supporters’ Association in partnership with BeGambleAware, have created a ‘safer gambling hub’ with assets for clubs to help them provide a safer gambling environment for their fans.

The digital hub hosts a number of materials available for free download that are part of a national safer gambling campaign – Bet Regret – helping to inform fans about the risks of impulsive betting.

These include posters to be used in stadiums, programme advertisements, digital LEDs and social media content featuring safer gambling ambassador David James, all aimed at educating football fans about safer gambling.

FSA deputy chief executive Dave Rose said: “Supporter groups have real concerns about harmful betting and impulsive gambling behaviours among some football fans.

“We’ll be helping fans across the country lobby their clubs on the issue and get the safer gambling message out there. Football clubs have a unique position in their communities – so this is something they need to take seriously.”

The hub aims to raise awareness amongst football fans of the risks of impulsive betting, to help them recognise the behaviours that can lead from low-risk betting to a more serious gambling issue.

The FSA and BeGambleAware are encouraging football fans, clubs, and associated groups to use any of the safer gambling materials.

Marc Etches, chief executive of BeGambleAware, said: “It is important that for anyone who chooses to gamble, they are able to do so in an environment where the risks are made clear. As highlighted in the FSA Survey conducted at the end of last year, only 10% of supporters felt that their club was doing enough to encourage safer gambling.

“The safer gambling campaign, Bet Regret, is designed to encourage regular sports bettors to think twice about their gambling habits and help keep them safe from gambling harms.”

“We hope that football clubs and associated groups find the tools useful in helping to create a safer gambling environment for everyone.”

Bettormetrics publishes World Cup trading benchmark; Tipico leads uptime ranking

Study of 1,752 Big 5 league matches finds a 12-point uptime gap; live World Cup leaderboard to run during the tournament.

Bettormetrics has launched what it calls the first World Cup Trading Performance Benchmark, ranking sportsbooks on in-play market uptime ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The sports odds intelligence firm said it will publish a live World Cup leaderboard on its website during the tournament to track trading performance.

The benchmark measures operator uptime on the Total Goals market across 1,752 fixtures in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bettormetrics analysed 22 operators and published a Top 10, reporting a gap of more than 12 percentage points between the highest and lowest performers.

Tipico ranked first overall with 95.9% uptime, followed by Fanatics (95.3%) and Betsson (94.9%). Superbet (94.8%) and Betano (94.7%) rounded out the top five. Bettormetrics said Premier League fixtures generally delivered the highest availability across operators, while La Liga was “the key differentiator” and “consistently produced the lowest availability figures across the field.”

The results also highlighted regional shifts. Bettormetrics noted that none of bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes or Paddy Power made the Top 10, while Fanatics placed second overall as the highest-ranked US operator. It also flagged Pinnacle and SBOBET as ranking poorly on in-play availability in this analysis despite “strong reputations for pregame pricing and market depth.”

Sabin Brooks, CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “The World Cup represents one of the highest-risk and highest-opportunity periods in the sportsbook calendar. Small differences in uptime, trading performance and market availability can have a material impact on turnover, profitability and even reputation.

“The World Cup leaderboard will answer one simple question: which sportsbook performed best when it matters most?”

Superbet CEO Alexandre Fonseca has been included in the global ranking “Game Changers: Top 100 most influential people in iGaming 2026,” with the company stating he is the only Brazilian executive featured on the list.

Fonseca linked the recognition to the development of Brazil’s newly regulated betting market. “This is the result of a journey that began back in 2007. Today, we see the sector consolidating itself as an economic pillar which, in its very first regulated year in 2025, generated BRL 37 billion in volume and BRL 10 billion in federal taxes,” he highlights.

The executive also pointed to the role of governance and compliance as the market scales. “Our role now is to ensure this growth continues to be guided by legal and tax certainty. At Superbet, player protection and user experience are not just rhetoric, but technology applied in real-time.”

According to the press release, the Game Changers list is an annual ranking that selects impactful leaders, professionals and regulators in the global online gaming industry, based on criteria including innovation and market relevance.

For operators and suppliers tracking Latin America, the inclusion underscores the growing prominence of Brazil’s regulated online betting sector as it attracts international attention and investment focus.
