8th Safer Gambling Week: Young People in the Spotlight
This year, the National Betting Authority (NBA) is adopting a fresh and youthful communication style, speaking directly to young people and young adults.
The campaign’s core aim is to remind everyone that gambling responsibly is not only the smartest choice—it’s also the coolest. By encouraging people to set limits before they play, the NBA is showing what is truly safer to do than gambling without control.
Now an established annual institution, Safer Gambling Week brings together all stakeholders in the gambling sector to prevent harmful behaviours and strengthen protective measures. It also gives the public the chance to learn about safe betting practices and the risks associated with excessive gambling. Throughout the week, a series of awareness-raising initiatives will highlight the self-protection tools available to players, the harmful effects of problem gambling, as well as the support and treatment services that anyone can access if they feel their gambling has gone beyond safe limits.
As in previous years, the Week will open with the Safer Gambling Conference, featuring leading academics, industry professionals and representatives from both the public and private sectors. Throughout the week, the agenda will include presentations, seminars, hands-on workshops, and interactive activities—all designed to give the public practical knowledge and effective prevention tools.
Panayiotis Trisokkas, President of NBA, said: “Safer Gambling Week is one of our flagship awareness and prevention actions under the NBA’s Safer Gambling Strategy. Each year, we see growing interest from both the public and organisations supporting the campaign. Society is now more aware and better informed about the importance of safe gambling. Our goal remains to foster a culture of prevention and build a strong network of protection for players and society as a whole.”

New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.
GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.
The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”
Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.
“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”
GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
