Gambling Commission releases guidance to help consumers limit gambling-related content on Twitter

Published

on

 

The Gambling Commission has partnered with Twitter to create guidance aimed at supporting users who want to limit the amount of gambling-related content they see on the social media platform.

The guidance explains the different ways in which Twitter’s safety tools and settings can be adjusted within an individual account, to help mitigate the risk of exposure to gambling-related messaging and advertisements.

This year the Gambling Commission is also looking to produce similar guidance for users of other social media platforms. Twitter is the first to work with the Gambling Commission on this initiative.

The publication includes guidance around:

  • Managing ‘interests’ within a profile; interests are comprised of a list of keywords, associated to an individual’s Twitter activity.
  • Turning off notifications; this prevents the user from receiving notifications from certain types of accounts they’d like to avoid (such as a sports account).
  • Using the mute feature; this enables a user to have greater control over what they can and can’t see on Twitter by ensuring certain words, accounts and conversations are no longer visible.

Betting advertising is shared widely on social media, with posts having the potential to reach millions of people.

Last October the Commission’s chief executive Neil McArthur raised his concerns to the gambling industry around the exposure of gambling adverts to children, young people and vulnerable adults. He has encouraged gambling businesses to embrace advertising technology and be more socially responsible.

He said: “Advertising spend has surged over recent years with young people and vulnerable adults being exposed to significant levels of online gambling adverts and via social media.

“This level of exposure is a concern and I have challenged the industry to quickly accelerate opportunities to reduce the amount of advertising seen by young people, children and vulnerable adults across all digital platforms.

“Whilst we work on a plan which sets out new standards for how the industry will embrace advertising technology, I hope that this guidance will play a role in helping consumers to limit the gambling-related content they see on Twitter.”

Katy Minshall, Head of UK Public Policy at Twitter, said“Improving the health of the public conversation is our overall mission as is ensuring those on the service feel safe and supported. With that in mind, we’re continuing to enforce our policies, specifically around prohibited and restricted ad content as well as assessing the eligibility of ads on our service – these policies apply to all advertisers and advertisements on Twitter.

We also continue to work with industry partners on tools to support their responsible advertising priorities. We’re happy to partner with the Gambling Commission in providing those on Twitter with information on the tools and controls they can use to manage their experience.”

Million Games is thrilled to announce the release of Chicken X, a high-risk, high-reward game that brings an exciting gambling twist to the classic arcade-style road-crossing genre. With a maximum payout factor of 10,000x, Chicken X challenges players to navigate the daring chicken across a busy road while strategically deciding when to cash out or push their luck for even bigger rewards.

A New Take on Risk and Reward

Chicken X is designed to blend simple yet exhilarating gameplay with the thrill of casino-style betting. Players must guide Jack the Chicken across multiple lanes of traffic, collecting cash with each successful crossing. However, one wrong move could mean disaster – if Jack gets hit by a vehicle, the game ends, and all accumulated winnings are lost.

With five difficulty levels ranging from Beginner to Insane, players can adjust the level of risk they are willing to take. Each level offers a unique combination of volatility and potential payouts, making Chicken X suitable for both casual and high-stakes players.

  • Strategic cash-out system – Players can choose to collect their winnings at any time or continue for higher payouts.
  • Immersive visuals and sound design – Creating a high-energy casino atmosphere.

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has unveiled Irish Treasures 2 – the follow up to the hugely successful original Irish Treasures – Leprechaun’s Fortune.

Players return to an enchanted forest that shimmers with green embers under a darkened canopy. The game is set within a 5×3 format, framed in a wooden frame to give the feeling of being inside an old Irish drinking tavern. A red-haired pixie, pot of gold, beer tankard and wooden pipe complete the rustic feel.

A sharp green-suited Leprechaun acts as the Wild and substitutes for any symbol aside from double symbols, free spins, and bonus. 5 wilds on a winning line pay x200.

Light-hearted folk music plays in the background to heighten the experience as the anticipation builds on the reels. Three or more scattered free spin symbols in the main game will launch the Free Spins feature. Before starting, players spin the Wheel of Fortune to select the free spins total, which ranges between 10 and 40, and the symbol that will double throughout.

The bonus feature will activate only when three golden horseshoes are found on screen. Players receive three spins to start and the goal is to fill the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols, every five symbols collected will complete one cell in the metre. Discovering a +1 symbol will replenish the spin counter and once the spins are finished there will be the final payout based on the last filled metre cell.

Irish Treasures 2 also has Stacked Wilds where once the reels are spinning, Wild symbols have the chance to appear on the reels to boost the chances of a win. During the base game, Only Double Symbols has a chance to add to the excitement, making all symbols appear in double form.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Following the success of the original, Irish Treasures 2 is back and it’s bursting with Irish charm and new features. Players will love returning to the Emerald Isle for a magical journey on the path for golden treasures.”
