BetKnowMore (BKM) has launched its charity initiative aimed at placing training, education and lived experience at the heart of treatment and recovery from gambling disorders.

Led by chief executive Frankie Graham, since 2013, BKM has operated a treatment support consultancy providing specialised training for diverse stakeholders handling the psychological and sociological complexities of problem gambling.

Launching its UK charity status, BKM announced that it would maintain its training and consultancy programmes under its rebranded unit of “BKM Evolve”.

The organisation has developed a new three-year plan to steer its work as a charity, in which it aims to “provide support and training services that prevent and address personal and societal harms caused by gambling”.

“Betknowmore UK is an ambitious, young charity. We seek sustainable growth, achieved through evolving strategic planning and learning, diversity of income streams and strong partnerships with organisations with shared values,” CEO Frankie Graham said.

Spearheading its initiatives, BKM has developed a new website – betknowmoreuk.org – which the charity will use to transform its training services to a digital platform.

“The global impact of covid-19 has affected us all. For those affected by gambling harms, the many changes in our personal and professional lives may exacerbate what is already a complex and multi-layered condition.” Graham said.

“The gap remains between those receiving support and those requiring help. Therefore, we need to reach more individuals, families, and communities to help prevent and address harms, and build resilience in both physical and digital environments.”

Evolution announced the launch of Ice Fishing, a fast-paced new addition to its live game show portfolio, first revealed at ICE 2025. Set against an arctic backdrop, Ice Fishing puts a fresh spin on the big money wheel format, with three unique bonus games, suspenseful gameplay, and multiplier wins of up to 5,000x.

At the centre of the game is a 53-segment wheel, where each spin can award an instant cash prize or trigger one of three themed bonus rounds: Lil’ Blues, Big Oranges, and Huge Reds. Each bonus offers its own gameplay style and multiplier potential — up to 100x, 200x and 500x respectively.

Enhancing the excitement are multiplier boosts that can land during the main game and carry through into the bonus rounds. This adds an extra layer of anticipation and a max win potential of up to 5,000x.

Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, said: “We’ve wanted to create a speed game show for a long time, as we’re seeing a growing audience that craves faster, more instantly gratifying formats. It’s a trend not unlike the rising preference for TikTok-style shorts over long-form video. Ice Fishing is our take on that idea. It’s fast, fun, and packed with dramatic gameplay.”

Haushalter added: “The magic lies in the anticipation, waiting to see what kind of fish players will catch and how big the outcome might be. There are little surprises and bursts of excitement woven into the entertainment experience, and we think players will enjoy uncovering them. We’re genuinely excited about this format, as it opens the door to a new style of rapid game show with strong potential.”
