GambleAware Publishes Details of Donations Received in 2023/24
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.

3 Oaks Gaming adds Super Jackpot slot to 4 Pots series
4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win introduces a fourth Pot and a Super Jackpot worth up to 10,000x the bet.
3 Oaks Gaming has launched 4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win, expanding its 4 Pots slot portfolio with a new Irish-themed title that adds a fourth Pot and a Super Jackpot mechanic.
The 5×3, 25-line game builds on the supplier’s 3 Clover Pots release. The new fourth Pot introduces the chance to trigger a Super Jackpot worth up to 10,000x the bet, according to the company.
The title’s Super Bonus Game is triggered by collecting Super Bonus Symbols. When activated, the grid expands from 5×3 to 5×5 and can introduce up to three bonus features at once. The Super Jackpot is awarded if all 25 cells are filled during the feature.
The slot also includes a Hold & Win Bonus Game, triggered via three Pots that fill with Bonus Symbols. In the bonus, Gold Clover Bonus Symbols can reveal Mini, Minor and Major Jackpots, while filling the entire grid awards the Grand Jackpot. 3 Oaks Gaming said the Pots add modifiers including Multi (up to x5 multipliers), Collect (gathers symbol values) and Mystery (awards higher-value Bonus Symbols or Mini to Major Jackpots), with a Rainbow Coin able to activate an additional feature or upgrade an existing one.
Federico Miele, Acting Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “The 4 Pots series has consistently delivered strong results for our operator partners, and 4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win represents the next evolution of the concept.
“By combining the proven appeal of Hold & Win gameplay with the addition of the Super Pot, expanded bonus functionality and a standout Irish theme, we’ve created a title that offers operators a compelling mix of familiarity, innovation and long-term engagement potential.”

Swintt launches football slot Champions Of The Spin with three bonus features
The Premium title is a 5-reel, 50-payline game with respins, a penalty-kick multiplier bonus, and local jackpots up to 3,000x.
Swintt has released Champions Of The Spin, a football-themed Premium slot designed around a “summer soccer tournament” backdrop, according to the supplier.
The game runs on five reels with 50 paylines and includes a custom kit symbol alongside boots, gloves and trophies. Swintt says the title offers maximum wins of up to 3000x.
Champions Of The Spin includes three bonus mechanics. The Football Feature triggers when six or more football symbols land, awarding three respins that reset when a new symbol appears. Silver footballs collect the values of regular footballs, while gold footballs collect both silver and regular values. Filling all 15 reel positions triggers what Swintt calls the MEGA jackpot for 1000x the selected stake.
A Mystery Bonus triggers with golden whistles on reels 1, 3 and 5, prompting players to choose a penalty placement to reveal a multiplier of up to 100x. Swintt says this can be randomly upgraded to a Pot Pick feature, where three matching jackpot names award the corresponding prize. In the base game, trophy wilds can also expand to cover a full reel.
Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Nothing quite beats the excitement of a summer soccer tournament, but a football-themed slot with three thrilling features runs it pretty close! In Champions Of The Spin, players can win free respins, big-money multipliers and one of four huge local jackpots, making it a timely addition to operators’ line-ups.”

Gaming Corps launches with PowerPlay in Ontario ahead of Alberta iGaming debut
Deal puts the Swedish supplier live in Ontario and lines up a day-one rollout with PowerPlay when Alberta’s regulated market opens in July.
Gaming Corps has gone live with Canadian online sportsbook and casino operator PowerPlay in Ontario, expanding its distribution in Canada through an operator registered with iGaming Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
The agreement also positions Gaming Corps to launch with PowerPlay in Alberta “from day one” when the province opens its newly regulated online gaming market in July, according to the companies. The partnership further extends Gaming Corps’ content across all PowerPlay.com markets.
PowerPlay’s rollout includes several Gaming Corps titles from its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus and 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power. Football-themed releases Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, Goals to Glory Football Fever and Goals to Glory Instant Blitz are also part of the initial content drop.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said “Canada is becoming an increasingly important market for Gaming Corps, and this launch puts us in a strong position at exactly the right time. Ontario has already shown what a well-structured regulated market can deliver, and Alberta now represents a significant next step.
“PowerPlay has a clear local brand presence and operates across both sportsbook and casino in a way that fits closely with where we see the market heading. This is a launch that gives us an immediate foothold in Ontario, a clear path into Alberta, and a strong foundation for further growth across wider PowerPlay.com markets.”
Lauren Holder, Head of Casino at PowerPlay said: “PowerPlay has grown by focusing on what Canadian players value: choice, trust and an entertainment experience that feels grounded in this market. Gaming Corps fits well within that approach. Its games bring a distinctive tone and pace to our casino, while also giving us content that can work around key sporting moments and new regulated market opportunities. As we continue to develop our casino proposition, we look forward to working with Gaming Corps and bringing its content to players across all PowerPlay.com markets.”
