The UK Gambling Commission has launched its Gambling Harms Action Lab (GHAL). Proposed back in 2019 as part of its National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms, the new initiative aims to shape how financial institutions can help address problem gambling.

Speaking at the lauch Tim Miller, executive director of the Gambling Commission, said financial services providers could collaborate with the gambling sector and play a key role in achieving a more holistic response to gambling harm.

“You need a range of perspectives to truly understand the complexities of gambling harms. Financial services providing access to their anonymised consumer data has allowed us to work with Warwick Business School to start building that much richer understanding of how harms develop and how they can be addressed,” he said.

“Money and Mental Health have already played a vital role in helping to encourage the involvement of the financial services industry in this vital area of consumer protection work. The Gambling Harms Action Lab will help to bring some structure and focus to those collaborative efforts. And that focus will be important.”

Over the next three years, the GHAL aims to give structure to how the financial sector helps tackle problem gambling. That will include meetings with people with lived experiences of problem gambling to develop strategies.

Miller said: “To those in the room today that are from the financial sector my message to you is, you may not be the cause of gambling harm but you have an amazing opportunity to be part of the solution. To work collaboratively to find creative ways of better protecting gambling consumers, consumers who are also your customers. So please, do not miss your chance to help make gambling safer.”

As F1: The Movie races into theatres worldwide, SOFTSWISS,  a global tech company providing software for the iGaming industry,  has chosen to support the film as a reflection of its commitment to innovation, performance, and teamwork. With former Formula 1 driver Rubens Barrichello serving as the company’s Non-Executive Director for Latin America, SOFTSWISS draws a meaningful parallel between the high-speed world of racing and the fast-moving, data-driven nature of online gaming.

SOFTSWISS joined the momentum by hosting exclusive premiere screenings for its partners and clients in São Paulo and Malta. Guests experienced the adrenaline of Formula 1 and Hollywood glamour, with red carpets, champagne towers, and photo zones setting the scene for a celebration that bridged entertainment and technology.

The highlight of the event was a personal video greeting from Rubens Barrichello, former Formula 1 driver and Non-Executive Director for Latin America at SOFTSWISS, who shared his emotional response to the film and reflected on how closely it mirrors both his racing legacy and his current work in tech.

Ahead of the event, SOFTSWISS released a “react video” in which Barrichello watched and commented on the movie trailer. In the video, he draws a compelling parallel between Formula 1 and the iGaming industry, emphasising the role of precision, teamwork, and real-time decision-making in both worlds.

“In the world of iGaming, we also deal with large amounts of data, adjust solutions in real time, and rely on teamwork. Just as a driver trusts engineers and mechanics, we trust our developers and analysts. Both worlds share the same values, and I am happy to be part of each of them,” comments Rubens Barrichello.

Rubens Barrichello has been a SOFTSWISS partner since 2024, when he was appointed as Non-Executive Director for Latin America. Known for his analytical approach and data-driven mindset on the track, Barrichello now supports the company’s business growth across one of the world’s fastest-growing iGaming markets.

His presence bridges two industries deeply rooted in Latin American cultural passion – motorsport and digital entertainment. 

By partnering with figures like Barrichello and aligning with major cultural moments like the F1 movie premiere, SOFTSWISS demonstrates its commitment to innovation, regional relevance, and storytelling that resonates with players and partners alike.
