Safer Gambling Week 2024 set new records on social media, generating over 60 million impressions across major platforms X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.

Data released following this year’s successful campaign – which ran from November 18 to 24 – revealed a huge 21% increase on last year.

Meanwhile, a large number of cross-party senior MPs and peers – including gambling minister Baroness Fiona Twycross and several shadow ministers including the Shadow DCMS Secretary Stuart Andrew MP – also gave their backing to the ground-breaking campaign.

This year’s event also had the full support of the independent regulator, the Gambling Commission and its Chief Executive, Andrew Rhodes.

Among the well-known football clubs to support Safer Gambling Week 2024 were Premier League sides Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Southampton, ensuring millions of fans were reached by Safer Gambling Week’s message.

The campaign also received over half a million visits to the Safer Gambling Week website, which signposts help and advice for those who may be struggling, as well as offering advice on safer gambling tools like deposit limits and time outs.

The aim of Safer Gambling Week, which has now run for eight years, is to kickstart a national conversation between staff, customers and their friends and family, about safer gambling, as well as highlighting the range of tools that are available to help people stay in control of their betting.

BGC Chief Executive Grainne Hurst said: “These outstanding and record-breaking results prove once more that our industry is serious about promoting the safer gambling tools available to customers and signposting the help and support available to those who need it.

“Whilst we await the details on the number of people using safer gambling tools, past years have shown us that an increase in the number of social media impressions has led to an increase in the use of popular tools – like time-outs and deposit limits – that only exist in the regulated industry.

“Thanks to Safer Gambling Week, we can be confident millions of people are better informed about the ways they can safely enjoy their hobby, that’s something the entire industry can be proud of.

“As I said at the beginning of the week, our commitment to safer gambling is not just for one week of the year. It is our mission for every week of the year.”

The Safer Gambling Week campaign, organised by the Betting and Gaming Council, BACTA and the Bingo Association saw a huge push of safer gambling messages both online and in land-based venues, aiming to spark a nationwide conversation about betting responsibly.

The campaign was also supported by a number of events including the EGR Safer Gambling Forum, which provided an opportunity for our industry to share knowledge and best practice on their work on safer gambling, alongside hearing updates from safer gambling charities.

EPIC Global Solutions’ also hosted a live webinar looking into the often-taboo topic of how and why problem gambling issues among women often go under the radar.

Each month around 22.5 million people in Britain enjoy a bet, on the lottery, in bookmakers, casinos, bingo halls and online, and the overwhelming majority do so safely and responsibly.

GR8 Tech launches ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame—an easy-to-launch solution designed specifically for the needs of experienced businesses: casino brands aiming to dominate sports betting without hiring an army of sportsbook specialists, or operators fed up with tech bottlenecks stunting their growth.

We dedicate a lot of time to talking to the market, and one thing kept coming up: too many products are built for entry-level needs. That’s fine… until it is not. Operators that grow beyond the basics often hit a wall. Their current platform needs improvement and differentiation that comes slowly, if at all; at the same time, switching to something new just means discovering another set of limitations down the line,” shares Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “There was clearly a gap—a well-formed demand for a solution tailored to mature operators who know what their players want and are done settling for tech that slows them down or boxes them in.

ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame was created to tackle these advanced challenges, enabling operators to differentiate with market-leading content and a customizable front-end while maintaining full control over crucial areas like player engagement and risk management. Feature-rich right out of the box, the solution drives the ultimate revenue boost with its AI-driven toolset.

“ULTIM8 is built for results. Operators using our iFrame solution see up to 50% GGR uplift through features that come ready to deploy—odds personalization, parlay tools, and dynamic cashout,” comments Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “Coupled with the geo-tailored layouts and widget-based frontend flexibility, these things give operators the ability to shape the ultimate experience for their audiences, while keeping full control over performance and profitability.

With all these advanced features, GR8 Tech’s ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame still maintains one of the key decisive factors of all iFrame solutions—quick launch time. As long as operators provide everything necessary for the launch from their end in time, the business can go live within just one week.

Sergey Ghazaryan adds: “GR8 Tech aims to become the first choice for operators looking for high-performance sportsbook-driven solutions. ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame is a very important step towards this goal—an ultimate showcase of our sportsbook expertise, packed in a convenient, easy-to-integrate form, tailored to the demands of the mature operators that have been unanswered up until now. Well—not anymore.

Players who want to sweeten the deal even further can treat themselves using the Buy Bonus feature, allowing them to trigger the Free Spins bonus with the Swap mechanic for 50x their stake.

Julia Alekseeva, CPO, said: “The Sugar Mix concept was created by BGamers during last year’s company Hackathon, with our development team diligently helping bring it to life.

We’ve poured a lot of creativity into crafting a world that is as delightful to look at as it is to play in. We’re particularly excited about the Swap feature, which adds an extra layer of anticipation during the Free Spins round and helps elevate the Sugar Mix from similarly themed games.”
