Gordon Moody Partners with No Trace to Produce the Short Film “Terminal”
Gordon Moody, a leading charity providing support for individuals affected by gambling addiction, has partnered with No Trace to produce the upcoming short film “Terminal,” which tells the story of a young British South-Asian man grappling with addiction to fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs). This collaboration aims to raise awareness of the devastating impact of gambling addiction and provide support to those in need.
Terminal follows the journey of a young man called Rav, played by Jaz Singh Deol as he becomes increasingly consumed by his addiction to FOBTs. The film explores the psychological and emotional toll it takes on his relationships, his mental health and his future whilst highlighting the often-overlooked experiences of individuals from minority communities with its raw, empathetic portrayal of the struggles faced by those battling gambling addiction.
Gordon Moody CEO Monica Shafaq said: “We are thrilled to partner with Terminal to help shine a light on the challenges faced by individuals living with gambling harm, particularly within the British South-Asian community. This powerful film provides a much-needed narrative that speaks to the heart of the issue, allowing us to reach new audiences and foster a deeper understanding of the realities of gambling related harm and the stigma faced by many which prevents them from reaching out for help. At Gordon Moody, we are dedicated to offering life-changing support, and we hope this film will spark meaningful conversations for those that the film resonates with.”
Writer/Director of Terminal, Sunny Bahia, said: “Terminal is not just a film, it’s a conversation starter. Gambling addiction is a hidden struggle that often goes undiscussed, especially in communities where stigma and silence prevail. My goal with this film was to create a piece that is both artistically compelling and also socially relevant whilst remaining true to my own experiences with gambling harm. Having the support of Gordon Moody on this project has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I hope the film opens doors for more awareness, more support, and ultimately, more lives saved.”
Lead Actor, Jaz Singh Deol who plays Rav, said: “Portraying a character who develops and struggles with gambling addiction was both challenging and deeply meaningful. Preparing for the role has opened my eyes to an issue that affects millions, yet remains largely invisible. I hope this film helps break the stigma around addiction and encourages more people to seek help. It’s been an honour to bring this important story to life and to collaborate with Gordon Moody.”
Gordon Moody is hosting an exclusive private media screening and panel discussion on Thursday 10 April. The screening will take place at the Birmingham Odeon Cinema from 2 pm.

Veikkaus’ active preparation towards the new gambling system, which will launch in 2027, continues.
As part of the new strategy, Veikkaus held change negotiations in the Betting and Online Casino operations in the autumn. The change negotiation process has now been completed. Following the change negotiations, 14 employment relationships ended and 19 Veikkaus employees underwent significant changes in their employment relationships.
“We had to make decisions that were painful from a human perspective, but they are necessary for the future of the company. I would like to thank those who will no longer be with us for their hard work,” said Business Director Jarkko Nordlund.
According to Nordlund, Veikkaus is now creating a new organizational structure that will prepare the company for the coming years.
“Digitalization is also strongly driving our industry. International competition and the pace of development are really fierce. Veikkaus has decades of fine traditions and a lot of good expertise as a company. Alongside these, we now need the kind of professionalism that will enable us to serve our customers even better and more individually.”
The company is recruiting dozens of new digital channel and betting professionals over the coming year.
“We need more expertise for Veikkaus that will make us even stronger and more competitive in the new market situation. We are also looking beyond Finland’s borders. According to current estimates, more than 30 new positions will open by next summer. We want to be strong, growing and profitable in the future,” Nordlund said.
The Parliament intends to have the new Gambling Act passed by the end of 2025. When the law comes into force, it will open up the opportunity for other gambling companies, in addition to Veikkaus, to apply for, for example, sports betting and online casino licenses in the Finnish market. According to the current estimate, other gambling companies could also start operating with a license in Finland during 2027.
Lottery games, cardboard tickets and physical slot machines will remain exclusive to Veikkaus in the future.

The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has conducted research into the risk analyses that online gambling providers must conduct regarding their sports betting offerings. The study examined the implementation of the identification, analysis and evaluation of risks to the integrity of the relevant matches at four providers. Based on this risk analysis, providers must identify and mitigate match-fixing risks.
Following reports to the Sports Betting Intelligence Unit (SBIU), an investigation has been launched into a possible match-fixing. By examining the providers’ risk analyses, it will become clear whether providers have their analyses properly in place and are adequately assessing, assessing and ultimately mitigating the risks. While the KSA sees room for improvement in areas such as the specification of certain risks, the measures taken and the implementation of the reporting obligation, it is generally positive about the implementation of the providers’ risk analyses. This represents an upward trend compared to a year ago. The KSA continues to randomly audit risk analyses.
