GamCare Expects Rise in Phone Calls Due to Lockdown and Summer of Sport
With lockdown restrictions easing and a summer of sport ahead, staff at British gambling support charity GamCare say the full impact of the Euros is still unknown and are preparing for an increase in calls to their helpline over the coming months.
Regular gamblers are known to have spent more time and money on the activity during the lockdown. The charity is concerned that this, combined with a summer of sport, could heighten the vulnerability of some gamblers and is calling for increased support for people at risk of gambling-related harms, including young people and recovered gamblers.
Anna Hemmings, Chief Executive at GamCare, said: “We know that people who use our services find it difficult to enjoy live sport, especially football tournaments like the Euros, in their recovery. With so many sports events over the summer, coupled with the difficulties people have experienced in the pandemic, we’re concerned we may see a spike in helpline calls over the coming months. We urge anyone who is struggling with gambling to contact us, whether it’s their own or someone else’s gambling. We want you to know we are here for you, we understand, and we can help you. If you think someone you know needs support, please get in touch.
“The vast majority of those reaching out for help are gambling online. The experiences of our helpline callers and our research consistently show this to be an area of concern for us and the people that use our services. Our latest helpline and treatment data shows online gambling has increased over the pandemic. We will certainly monitor this trend to see if it continues as lockdown is lifted. This is an important detail as the government continues with the review of the 2005 Gambling Act, working to bring about effective change to protect those who need it most.”

New hero video brings together four football icons as Stake aims to place fans at the centre of the global football conversation
Stake Unveils Ambassador-Led Football Campaign
Stake has unveiled a new international football campaign featuring brand ambassadors Iker Casillas, Sergio Agüero, Eden Hazard and Patrice Evra, bringing together four of the game’s most recognisable figures in a hero video designed to capture the anticipation, excitement and emotion surrounding one of football’s biggest global tournaments.
The campaign, titled “It’s All At Stake”, forms part of Stake’s wider strategy to engage football fans across key international markets during a period expected to dominate sporting and cultural conversations around the world. The full campaign film is now available to watch on YouTube.
Four Football Icons, One Global Campaign
Created in partnership with specialist production teams, the campaign follows the four former internationals as they navigate the excitement, pressure and unpredictability that make major football tournaments such a unique global spectacle.
Combining humour, personality and football nostalgia, the creative reflects Stake’s continued investment in culturally relevant content that resonates with sports fans beyond the action on the pitch.
The campaign marks the first time Casillas, Agüero, Hazard and Evra have appeared together in a Stake production. Collectively, the quartet represent some of football’s most memorable moments of the modern era, having won major domestic, European and international honours throughout their careers.
Multi-Channel Distribution Strategy
The hero film is being distributed across Stake’s digital channels, including YouTube, Instagram and X, supported by ambassador amplification and additional promotional activity across international markets.
Alongside the main campaign film, Stake has released supporting social content across its channels, including an Instagram Reel showcasing key moments from the campaign.
The campaign has also been amplified through Stake’s official X account, where football fans can engage with and share campaign content.
The campaign has been designed to drive engagement among football audiences while reinforcing Stake’s position as one of the most visible brands operating within the sports and entertainment space.
Connecting Fans Through Football’s Biggest Moments
Football remains one of the world’s most powerful cultural forces, bringing together hundreds of millions of fans across continents, languages and generations.
Through its growing roster of ambassador partnerships and football-focused content initiatives, Stake continues to invest in campaigns that connect with supporters during the sport’s most significant moments.
The launch follows a period of sustained growth in Stake’s global sports marketing activity. By working with internationally recognised athletes and creating original content around major sporting events, the company has continued to strengthen its presence among football audiences worldwide.
As anticipation builds throughout the tournament period, Stake’s latest campaign aims to celebrate the passion, conversation and shared experiences that make football’s biggest occasions so memorable for fans everywhere.
