PlayOJO Launches Latest Campaign to Raise Awareness of the Signs of Problem Gambling
PlayOJO, the fair online casino powered by SkillOnNet, announces its latest campaign in partnership with Gemma Collins to encourage responsible gambling.
The TOWIE star and online Casino have partnered on a spoof fragrance launch to highlight that problem gambling is the ‘addiction with no smell’ and to help people recognise some of the early signs that someone they love, may be developing an issue.
The fragrance itself was named Compulsion, to hint at the behaviours that are often displayed by those who are struggling, such as lying about their finances and exhibiting extreme mood swings.
To raise awareness of the hard-to-spot, tell-tale early signs of potential gambling issues, PlayOJO and Gambling organisation, Breakeven have developed a new acronym to help concerned players, or those close to someone whom they suspect might be hiding an issue.
The SMELL acronym is designed to encapsulate the five signs of gambling issues that might be easiest to spot and are:
S – Sleep – is your loved one struggling to sleep at night?
M – Money – is your loved one inexplicably losing money or struggling financially?
E – Extreme – is your loved one exhibiting extreme mood swings?
L – Losing – is your loved one losing interest in the pursuits they have historically enjoyed?
L – Lying – have you caught out your loved one for not telling the truth recently?
Peter Bennett, Head of Marketing at PlayOJO, comments, ‘Our business is built upon the principle of fairness and transparency. We are committed to doing what we can to provide people with the information they need to help identify potential problem behaviours, and offer access to those in need of help to ensure Play Ojo is a safe place for people t have fun and gamble responsibly.
As part of the campaign we have launched a dedicated hub offering expert guidance and insight from our partners at Breakeven which is an extension of our ongoing strategy and commitment to providing advice and support aound the clock.
Our hope is that by working with Gemma and Breakeven, we will raise awareness of this issue and help encourage people to access support services if they spot the signs highlighted by the Compulsion campaign in themselves or a loved one.”
As part of the campaign, Gemma carried out an interview with Ian Semel, CEO of Breakeven, a charity that offers free counselling to individuals who are struggling with gambling behaviours issues, to better understand the early signs and minimise gambling related harm, as well as educating on strategies that can be deployed to overcome it.

Award-winning sportsbook provider strengthens LATAM presence by integrating with leading iGaming platform ecosystem ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup
2, June 2026: Altenar, a leading sportsbook provider, has partnered with Atlaslive to integrate its fully managed sportsbook into the company’s iGaming platform ecosystem, expanding access to its award-winning sports betting technology for operators across Latin America.
Through the integration, Atlaslive-powered operators will gain access to Altenar’s complete sportsbook solution alongside the platform’s existing infrastructure, enabling operators to choose the sportsbook configuration that best aligns with their market strategy, regulatory requirements, and player acquisition goals.
The partnership further strengthens Altenar’s presence across LATAM and supports its strategy of making flexible, high-performance sportsbook technology available through leading platform providers. By combining Altenar’s sportsbook capabilities with Atlaslive’s scalable platform environment, operators benefit from greater deployment flexibility without compromising on performance, trading depth, or operational efficiency.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, demand for scalable and reliable sportsbook technology is expected to increase significantly. The integration positions operators to capitalise on one of the highest-volume periods in the sports betting calendar with reduced implementation timelines and a proven sportsbook solution designed to perform under peak demand.
Altenar currently operates across more than 50 regulated jurisdictions and holds licences from major regulatory authorities including the UKGC, MGA and AGCO. Most recently, the company was recognised as Best Online Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA South America Awards 2026, following its Sportsbook Supplier of the Year win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024.
Frederico Caputi, Senior Sales Manager at Altenar, said:
“We are pleased to partner with Atlaslive and bring our sportsbook technology to their growing operator network. This integration expands the reach of our fully managed sportsbook solution while giving operators more flexibility in how they build and scale their sports betting offering.
“Through this collaboration, operators gain access to a proven sportsbook product that combines live betting capabilities, advanced risk management, and extensive sports content with the speed and scalability required to succeed in competitive markets.”
Volodymyr Taftai, Country Director for Brazil at Atlaslive, added:
“Giving operators real choice in how they build their sportsbook is a competitive advantage – for them and for us. Altenar’s track record across regulated markets and their depth in risk management and trading make them the right partner to start with. We’re expanding our platform into a multi-sportsbook ecosystem because that’s what operators in today’s market need: flexibility without compromise on quality.”
The agreement reinforces Altenar’s commitment to building an open and adaptable sportsbook ecosystem that enables operators and platform providers to deliver differentiated sports betting experiences across regulated markets worldwide.
