The Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), the standards body for the UK’s regulated betting and gaming industry, is searching for a new chief executive.

As the organisation enters its fifth year, it emphasised the need to find someone who can “lead and inspire the industry”, as well as “further build trust and confidence in the UK gambling sector” – both within the industry itself and with external stakeholders.

In further detail, the BGC is looking for a Chief Executive who can quickly grasp the commercial and regulatory challenges facing the gambling industry.

“We require an individual who can act as an effective advocate for the industry at the most senior levels, build and maintain strong trusted relationships, influence the political and media debate, and work with a wide range of stakeholders,” the BGC stated.

Established in 2019, the BGC represents betting shops, casinos, online betting, bingo and gaming – working with its members, large and small, to drive high ethical standards, create a culture of safer betting and gaming, and build public and institutional trust.

BGC members support 110,000 jobs, generate £4.2bn in taxes, and contribute £7.1 billion to the economy in GVA (Gross Value Added).

“Working with and reporting to the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive is the key role in shaping the future of the organisation and will be responsible for building and developing the team in their vision,” the BGC concluded.

A new NHS specialist gambling treatment service and helpline will be launched in Wales on April 1.

The Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing Sarah Murphy described this as a ‘landmark moment’, providing support for tens of thousands of people who could be at risk of gambling-related harm.

The Wales Gambling Helpline will provide information, advice and support to anyone affected by gambling-related harms, including family members and others impacted. If needed, it will also refer people onto treatment services.

Treatment for gambling harms will be accessible through a secure online platform, allowing support to be provided remotely.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board has been awarded £1.3 million a year by the Welsh Government to run the treatment service and helpline. The funding comes from the money raised from the UK-wide gambling levy.

Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing Sarah Murphy said: “This is a landmark moment marking the first time specialist gambling treatment and support services will be available from the NHS in Wales.

“The helpline will be a form of open access support available to people who need it the most and fits into the ambitions of our Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy.

“Guided by the evidence, we’re confident this approach is the most effective way to deliver essential support for both prevention and treatment.”

Clinical lead for gambling treatment services at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board Dr Faye Graver said: “We are establishing a specialist gambling treatment service and the Wales Gambling Helpline to provide much-needed support for people struggling with gambling addiction.

“They will provide the necessary support, advice and information not only to people experiencing gambling-related harms, but also their family members and others affected.”
