The UK’s Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) – which represents betting shops, casinos and the online gaming sector – has announced its own “Plan for Jobs” setting out how the regulated industry plans to support the Government’s post-Covid recovery by investing in young people across the country and providing them with the skills required for a career in the sector.

The initiative, in support of the Government’s own Plan for Jobs, comes as Britain’s globally-leading tech companies running online betting, gaming and bingo continue to grow their employment in the UK.

Under the BGC plan, its members have vowed to create a total of 5000 apprenticeships for young people looking to work in the industry between now and 2025.

Regulated operators are also signing up to the Government’s own Kick Start scheme to provide job opportunities for 16 to 24-year-olds on Universal Credit, as well as rolling out graduate recruitment schemes, offering career paths for young people straight from university.

Michael Dugher, chief executive of the BGC, said the Plan for Jobs showed the regulated industry was ready to go even further to help to support the UK economy’s recovery from Covid.

He said: “As the UK emerges from the pandemic, creating more good jobs and training for young people will be more important than ever before.

“The Government’s own Plan for Jobs is a fantastic opportunity to create more apprenticeships and traineeships, tackle unemployment, increase productivity plus support British business overseas through Global Britain.

“BGC members alone already supports nearly 120,000 jobs in world-leading tech through online gaming and bingo, in hospitality, tourism and entertainment through casinos, and across our hard-pressed high street jobs through modern betting shops. Our industry stands ready to play a key part in the national recovery.

“Between now and 2025, we pledge to offer a further 5,000 apprenticeships – crucial opportunities for young people to take their first step on the career ladder. Young people have been hardest hit by the pandemic – this pledge is an important step in enabling them to be a part of the wider recovery.

“The future remains highly uncertain and the impact of the pandemic will be felt for a long time to come. Betting and Gaming Council members are ready to play their part by giving young people – our country’s future – the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.”

The NSW Government is encouraging the community to help spread the message this GambleAware Week, that with gambling, there’s more to lose than money; it can also affect health, relationships and wellbeing.

Running from today, 20 October to 26 October, this year’s campaign is also focussing on promoting the range of free and confidential support available to those struggling with gambling harm.

In addition, the NSW Government is continuing its campaign to reduce the amount of sports betting advertising with its Reclaim the Game initiative, delivered in partnership with 19 NSW sporting clubs from six codes: the A-League, AFL, Cricket, the National Basketball League, Netball and the National Rugby League.

This includes the Sydney Kings and the Illawarra Hawks men’s basketball teams along with the Sydney Flames women’s basketball team. All three teams have just signed up for a further two seasons.

Sports betting is most common among young people aged 18-24 years. A 2024 NSW Gambling Survey found sports and race betting responsible for 16.5% of gambling harm.

Reclaim the Game aims to counteract the saturation of sports betting advertising and help people understand their choices and decisions about gambling, encouraging them to take action to prevent and reduce gambling harm by seeking support when they need it.

In 2025-26, the NSW Government has committed $20.7 million from the Responsible Gambling Fund for gambling support services, up from $19.19 million the previous year.

The government has implemented a suite of measures to reduce gambling harm, including:

Committing $100 million to harm minimisation – investing in research, treatment, services and reform,
Banning gambling advertising on public transport, and the terminals people catch it from,
Banning all external gambling signage in licensed premises and introducing Responsible Gambling Officers for venues with more than 20 gaming machine entitlements, and
Banning political donations from clubs with electronic gaming machines.

Reclaim the Game is an initiative of the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling, which also manages the statewide gambling support service GambleAware.

Information about GambleAware Week activities, Reclaim the Game, plus resources and support information are available at www.gambleaware.nsw.gov.au

Call the 24-hour GambleAware Helpline on 1800 858 858 for free and confidential support. In-language support is also available for those from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Minister for Gaming and Racing David Harris said:

“The NSW Government is committed to reducing gambling harm which not only impacts individuals, but also their loved ones and the broader community.

“I’m pleased to announce the NSW Government has extended the Reclaim the Game partnerships with the Sydney Kings, Sydney Flames and Illawarra Hawks. These partnerships have helped us spread this important message through reclaiming advertising space and enlisting clubs to engage with fans and the community on responsible gambling.

“Everyone has a role to play in keeping our communities safe, informed and supported. With gambling, there’s more to lose than money. You could be risking your family home, that dream holiday, your health or your relationships.

“This GambleAware Week, start a conversation with those who matter most about what gambling’s really costing. If you or someone you care about is struggling, support is available.”

Sydney Kings and Flames Chief Commercial Officer Amanda Farag said: “The Sydney Kings and Flames have been proud long-term partners of Reclaim the Game, and we are excited to renew this partnership. We wish basketball to remain a family-friendly environment, and we support the message of responsible gambling. We are proud of our ongoing commitment to this message”

Illawarra Hawks General Manager Commercial Aaron Anderson said: “The Illawarra Hawks are proud to continue our partnership with Reclaim the Game and stand alongside the Sydney Kings and Sydney Flames, in creating a safer, more positive sporting environment.

“By extending our partnership, we’re sending a clear message, basketball is about community, competition, and passion – not gambling. This initiative empowers fans to enjoy the game for what it truly is, while raising awareness about the support available through GambleAware.”

Earn Daily Profit Sharing and Tokenized Rewards with Qzino Affiliate Program

Why Today’s Affiliate Ecosystem Demands an Upgrade

The global iGaming landscape, and especially the crypto-casino sector, is undergoing explosive growth. Data from Yield Sec shows that the total gross profit of crypto casinos in 2024 reached approximately $81.4 billion — a three- to fourfold increase compared to two years before.

In parallel, the affiliate marketing market is also seeing significant expansion. According to SOFTSWISS, revenue generated via crypto affiliate services doubled in the first half of 2024 versus the same period in 2023. The upward trend continues in 2025: transaction activity is growing, and the number of engaged users in the crypto iGaming space keeps rising month after month.

Yet, most traditional crypto casino affiliate programs still rely on outdated models — CPA and RevShare — that come with notable drawbacks: limited flexibility, insufficient analytical transparency, delayed reward distribution, and negative carryover issues.

All these factors highlight the need for a new kind of affiliate ecosystem — transparent, mutually beneficial, and focused on long-term value. It is in this context that the Qzino affiliate program launches, redefining the role of affiliates in the crypto-iGaming industry.

Next-Generation Crypto iGaming Experience with Qzino

Qzino is a crypto-iGaming platform set to launch in fall 2025 (Explore the Qzino launch). The platform will feature over 10,000 games — from global hits to in-house titles — along with sports and esports betting powered by AI analytics, its own token,Qzino profit sharing model, provably fair crypto casino mechanisms, and tokenized affiliate rewards.

The Qzino profit sharing model is a core innovation — distributing 50% of the revenue daily among token holders. They receive daily passive income, ensuring long-term motivation to stay connected to the platform and benefit from its growth.

Behind the project stands a team of over 100 professionals with proven experience in building platforms ranked among the top-10 global crypto casinos. The platform operates under an official Anjouan Gambling License and utilizes provably fair crypto casino technology.

Qzino Crypto Affiliate Program — Launch Roadmap with Rewards

The Qzino affiliate program is structured in multiple phases, ensuring sub-affiliate earnings, community expansion, and transparent analytics at every stage:

Stage 1: Mini App — current phase. An initial opportunity to invite users through free-to-play mechanics with real value, no deposit, and no complex registration. All referred users are permanently linked to the affiliate and automatically transferred to the full Web3 platform after launch — continuing to generate revenue.
Stage 2: Platform launch & farming season — Fall 2025. The full platform goes live with gamified farming where users earn points for every bet. Affiliates receive dual rewards — a share of the platform’s profit and points for an upcoming airdrop, later converted into tokens.
Stage 3: TGE, Airdrop & Scaling — at this stage, tokenized affiliate rewards and daily profit sharing are launched. Affiliates benefit from the growth of lifetime revenue share, additional sub-affiliate earnings, and the advantages of participating in the highest-paying affiliate program in gambling, with up to 50% revenue share.

How Qzino Offers Daily Profit Sharing and Lifetime Revenue Share for Affiliates

The Qzino affiliate program offers affiliates not just commissions, but a multi-tiered earning system across all stages:

Revenue from each user — affiliates earn up to 50% revenue of the income generated by their referrals;
Airdrop points — every user activity brings affiliates points later converted into tokens;
Qzino tokens — provide access to the Qzino profit sharing model with daily profit sharing and asset growth potential;
Sub-affiliate networks — affiliates can build their own network by inviting other partners and earning from their activity — creating long-term passive income in crypto affiliate partnerships.

Qzino crypto casino provides personal support at all collaboration stages, regular contests, challenges, exclusive drops and bonuses for active partners. The program is a crypto affiliate worldwide — open globally with no geographic restrictions.

All of this is managed in a dedicated affiliate dashboard, providing real-time commission tracking, so affiliates can monitor their earnings and activity. The affiliate dashboard ensures data transparency, accessibility, and automatic updates.

Exclusive Early Affiliate Rewards with Qzino Crypto Casino

Currently, the Qzino platform and affiliate program are in the Pre-Launch phase via MiniApp on Telegram — a unique moment for early affiliates.

The potential audience has not yet been distributed among partners, and most users are still available for acquisition. This gives affiliates the opportunity to build their own referral base using the free MiniApp mechanics. Most importantly, all referred users are automatically transferred to the full Web3 platform after launch and remain permanently linked to the affiliate.

The Next Step for the Crypto iGaming Industry

The Qzino affiliate program offers up to 50% revenue share, tokenized affiliate rewards, a long-term profit-sharing model, and scalable income through sub-affiliate earnings. Unlike traditional systems, Qzino doesn’t rely on outdated models — it establishes a new industry standard where partnership means real involvement in the project’s growth and profits, from early MiniApp participation to becoming a true co-owner of the ecosystem.

Qzino: join as a partner — emerge as a co-owner.

Visit the official website, apply now, and join the Qzino Affiliate Program — be part of the next generation of transparent, profit-sharing partnerships.
