Independent Evaluation Reveals Impact of Pilot Training for Health Professionals
Health professionals feel more confident supporting young people after completing Ygam’s training on gaming and gambling harms, an independent evaluation has revealed.
An evaluation undertaken by the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) revealed 91% of survey respondents rated the Mindful Resilience workshops as “good” or “very good”, with two-thirds already implementing their learnings into their day-to day practices. Those trained saw their level of knowledge on gaming and gambling harms almost double as a result of partaking in the programme.
The “Mindful Resilience” programme was developed in collaboration with Bournemouth University. It enables health professionals, including GPs and nurses, to have access to City and Guilds assured training on the harms and health risks associated with gaming and gambling harms. The full pilot phase of the programme ran from 2021 to 2022.
Ratings of confidence in ability amongst delegates almost doubled for each area of enquiry, including signposting to information sources, approaching children and young people about the subject, and assessing participation in gambling and gaming, knowing how to intervene and when to respond.
Linda Scollins Smith, Director of Programmes at Ygam, said: “The findings of this evaluation are encouraging and a positive step in addressing the need for better understanding of gaming and gambling harms within the health care sector. The programme has already supported over 1000 health professionals and garnered very positive responses from participants regarding content, resources, and ongoing support.
“As with every pilot, there are areas of the programme that we can effectively improve. As an evidence-led organisation, these evaluations are vital to ensure that we continue to develop our educational offering, and that we continue to be a figurehead of good practice within the sector.”
Shelley White, CEO at RGC, said: “RGC’s Research and Advisory Services team is pleased to deliver this independent evaluation of the Mindful Resilience programme, which has shown very promising results for health care professionals during its pilot phase. We know that young people are at risk of experiencing gaming and gambling harms, therefore it is essential to educate and train those who work with young people on the practical ways to assess and respond to these risks. We are confident that our findings and recommendations will support Ygam in their commitment to delivering and refining this innovative programme, which will ultimately help to ensure the improved safety and care for young people.”
Dr. Melissa Salmon, Senior Researcher at the RGC found that within three months of completing the training, 64% of trained delegates reported that they had implemented their learning into their work with children and young people. 73% of participants reported that the implementation of knowledge and learnings from the training had been a positive process and easy to apply, with few obstacles.
The majority (84%) of participants said that they would not make any changes to the programme content covered or resources available, with 91% of participants rating the workshop as either “good” (14%) or “very good” (77%).

DELULU Gaming Hosted an Exclusive Soft Launch Dinner for 250+ iGaming Leaders in London
An unforgettable evening, more than 250 industry leaders, and the perfect beginning to a new story in iGaming. DELULU Gaming recently hosted its exclusive Soft Launch Dinner at Alba London, welcoming 250+ partners and C-level executives to an invitation-only celebration that combined exceptional hospitality with the studio’s distinctive creative identity.
The Soft Launch Dinner was DELULU’s first opportunity to welcome the industry in person. Instead of a traditional corporate reception, the evening brought together senior decision-makers in an exclusive setting. Guests learned more about DELULU’s vision and a debut portfolio where every game is designed to leave its own impression.
The event was made even more special by the presence of DELULU’s strategic technology partner, SOFTSWISS, who joined the celebration alongside partners, friends, and industry leaders.
Inspired by the Amalfi Coast, Alba London provided the perfect setting for DELULU’s Soft Launch Dinner. Contemporary Italian interiors, live cooking stations, fresh seafood, authentic Italian pizza, and signature cocktails created an atmosphere that felt both refined and effortlessly welcoming. Every detail, from the bespoke DELULU branding to the finishing touches throughout the venue, made the experience unmistakably DELULU.
Looking around, it was clear that many of the industry’s key players were there. Operators, aggregators, platform providers, media, and long-standing partners all came together to celebrate DELULU’s next chapter. Business conversations quickly became more relaxed as guests caught up with familiar faces and made new connections. The evening also opened the door to conversations about future partnerships, upcoming releases, and DELULU’s ambition to create experiences that stay with players.
To mark the occasion, every guest received a bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne presented in exclusive DELULU packaging, created especially for the event. It was a small gesture of appreciation and a lasting reminder of the studio’s first milestone shared with everyone present.
The Soft Launch Dinner was a memorable introduction of DELULU to the industry. It showed DELULU Gaming’s goal to build lasting partnerships while bringing the DELULU approach beyond the games themselves.
“We wanted our first event to feel exactly like DELULU. Creative, welcoming, and full of personality. Having so many industry leaders and partners come together before our official launch was something truly special for our entire team. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Alba London, celebrated this milestone with us, and helped make it such an unforgettable evening. We’re looking forward to growing together, building new partnerships, and sharing many more great moments in the years ahead.” Arthur Sheikhaliev, CEO at DELULU Gaming.
Following the successful Soft Launch Dinner, DELULU Gaming continues expanding its commercial partnerships and bringing its growing portfolio of distinctive games to operators worldwide.

Cryptocurrency has become one of the fastest-growing categories within prediction markets, as traders and investors increasingly look beyond price charts to speculate on major industry milestones.
Reflecting this trend, international betting brand 1win has expanded its Markets product with a series of new cryptocurrency prediction markets covering some of the sector’s most closely watched digital assets.
The new crypto-themed forecasts on 1win Markets allow users to speculate on topics, including
- What price will HYPE reach by the end of 2026?
- Will HYPE surpass Solana (SOL) in market capitalization before December 31, 2026?
- What price will XRP reach in 2026?
- What price will Dogecoin (DOGE) reach by the end of the year?
“Crypto-related forecasts are becoming a natural extension of prediction markets, giving users another way to engage with some of the biggest narratives in the crypto industry. Though on 1win Markets, we have made it an interactive and easy-to-understand format,” says Mike Danshin, CMO 1win Crypto.
1win Markets uses a simple binary format. Instead of selecting from complex betting lines, users answer straightforward “Yes” or “No” questions or choose between clearly defined outcomes. It is a fun and interactive way to think about life events, even for those unfamiliar with classic betting.
This crypto-focused expansion on 1win Markets reflects the growing convergence between crypto communities and binary predictions. Users are increasingly interested in predicting not only sports or political outcomes but also changes across the digital asset industry.
By adding cryptocurrency-focused markets alongside existing categories – sports, politics, technology, entertainment, and global events – 1win continues to broaden the scope of its crypto-driven ecosystem.
