BetKnowMore Launches Charity Initiative to Fill Gambling Disorder Support Gap
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.”

Push Gaming blends legacy success with good fortune in Dragon Hopper
B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has leveraged its past successes to drive the creation of its latest feature-rich cluster pays slot, Dragon Hopper.
Boldly combining the best elements of the hit game Fire Hopper, with a sprinkling of flavour from some of its other fan favourite slots such as Retro Tapes, Dragon Hopper provides an exhilarating journey through a far-eastern lantern festival.
Highlighting the studio’s ability to evolve the elements of its existing popular games to refine player engagement, Dragon Hopper incorporates dynamic mechanics such as the Dragon Feature and Mystic Flare Feature, designed to make each spin unpredictable and captivating.
Other new gameplay elements in this latest release include the Bubble Feature, which significantly boosts winning possibilities.
Alongside the studio’s proprietary Push Bet™, which empowers players to enjoy the slot in a variety of ways, increasing retention. The slot is also home to the Cluster Link™ mechanic, which offers players a dynamic way to combine paying symbols into wins.
Dragon Hopper is the latest title in Push Gaming’s elevated 2025 roadmap. It heralds an eclectic Q1 of releases that operators and players can look forward to, including Mad Blast and Power Vault.
Monika Lukowska, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “Dragon Hopper takes us on a journey through the mystical orient and treats players to a combination of well-known and unique features.
“Big win potential is ever present via the Dragon Symbol, which allows for the multiplication of wins in the base game, along with features like the Mystic Flare, which can appear on the reels unexpectedly.
“The bonus game combines the Cluster Link™ and Dragon Feature with a new Bubble Feature mechanic that increases the value of symbols and makes for an incredibly engaging play session.
“We’ve taken the best of a host of previous games and used that winning formula to create Dragon Hopper, and we’re delighted to present another hit title.”
