GambleAware, the leading commissioner of programmes focused on gambling harms in Great Britain, has published the details of donations it received in the 2023/24 financial year.

The charity received £49.5 million in voluntary industry donations over the year. Of this, 94% of the voluntary donations came from the largest four gambling operators in Great Britain, who donated a total of £46.6 million. This represents an increase of £3.1m from the previous year’s contributions of £43.5m from these operators.

Voluntary donations are essential for GambleAware’s continuing commissioning work. The charity believes the gambling industry should be held accountable to contribute financially to the vital services that prevent gambling harms, which is why it has consistently advocated for a statutory levy. Until the implementation of the statutory levy, gambling operator funding remains the primary source of funding for research, prevention and treatment. Despite the donations received, as an independent charity, GambleAware has an extremely robust system of governance processes in place, works to hold the gambling industry to account, and the gambling industry has absolutely no input, influence or authority over any of its activity.

GambleAware’s work includes commissioning the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN), which provides free, confidential treatment across Great Britain, as well as the National Gambling Helpline which takes around 52,000 calls and online chats a year. Funding is also used to enable GambleAware to commission research and evaluation to increase knowledge and understanding of the prevention of gambling harm, as well as reducing stigma associated with gambling harm, for public health campaigns, and for providing support, advice, and tools to help people make informed decisions about gambling.

The voluntary donations received in 2023/24 mark the last year of a four year commitment made in 2020 by the largest four operators to gradually increase the percentage of Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) donated as RET from 0.25% in 2019/20 to 1% in 2023/24.

There remains uncertainty of funding for the current financial year 2024/25 while the sector awaits clarity on the process and timing around implementation of the statutory levy. GambleAware continues to work with the Gambling Commission and the Department for Culture Media and Sport during this transition period.

Zoë Osmond, GambleAware Chief Executive, said: “While we await the implementation of the new statutory levy, donations from the voluntary funding system are key to ensure GambleAware can continue to deliver the essential gambling harm prevention and treatment programmes we commission.

“For many years we have been calling for the introduction of a statutory levy on the gambling industry and we are pleased the Government has committed to delivering this as part of the Gambling White Paper. However, during the transition period it is vital that steps continue to be taken to ensure there is no disruption to existing services and provisions in the wider system as they adapt to the new levy funding model.”

As well as voluntary donations received, the Gambling Commission also allocated £33.5 million of regulatory settlement funds to GambleAware during the last financial year. These are managed as a restricted fund to be allocated to playing a part in stabilising the wider system of gambling harm prevention, support, and treatment during the transition period from a voluntary to a statutory levy system. The regulatory settlement funds were allocated to GambleAware by the Gambling Commission in accordance with its Statement of Principles for determining financial penalties.

London, July 2026 — While most affiliate networks are busy refreshing their pitch decks, HELL Partners is doing what it always does: moving on its own terms. The brand is officially heading to IGB Live 2026, one of the most influential iGaming gatherings on the calendar, and the team is bringing more than business cards.

IGB Live takes place at ExCeL London, and HELL Partners will be set up at Booth L40

— not hard to find, even harder to ignore.

What HELL Partners actually brings to the table

For those still getting acquainted with the brand: HELL Partners operates a portfolio of in-house iGaming products with conversion rates that speak before anyone in the room does. There are no restrictions on traffic sources — affiliates run what works, full stop. And with a GEO pool spanning Tier 1 through Tier 3 markets, the network offers the kind of scale that keeps serious webmasters interested long-term. Besides, there’s a new brand coming soon, further expanding the opportunities.

Clean terms, open sources, full creative control. The infrastructure is built to perform—and let partners do the same.

What’s waiting at the stand

HELL Partners isn’t flying to London to shake hands and collect LinkedIn connections. The managers on-site will be ready to sit down, open the laptop, and structure a deal worth talking about — tailored, specific, and built around your traffic.

Also at the stand: a Prada giveaway. Three items. Real ones. The mechanics are simple — follow HELL Partners on Instagram and Telegram, stop by Stand L40, and get entered. The kind of brand energy that makes sense when you think about who HELL Partners is building this for.

And one more thing making the trip to London: an exclusive merch collection, designed specifically for IGB Live. Not a reprint, not leftovers — something made for this exact moment. Come see it at the stand.

The VIP event — for the VIP Inner Circle

Beyond the floor, HELL Partners is hosting a closed evening for top partners and industry voices. An exclusive private screening of The Devil Wears Prada 2, complete with a session from a film critic who actually knows what they’re talking about. Details are confirmed for those already in the circle — and for those who aren’t yet, a conversation at the stand is the right place to start.

It’s the kind of move that says: HELL Partners treats its partners the way the industry should have been treating them all along.
