UKGC: Experts by Experience interim group created
The UK Gambling Commission has announced that it is working with an interim Experts by Experience Group who will provide advice, evidence and recommendations to the Commission to help inform decision making and raise standards, along with co-creating a permanent Experts by Experience Advisory Group to advise the regulator on a more established basis.
The creation of the interim forum follows a workshop in March, in which people with lived experience were asked to offer perspectives on key topics including High Value Customers, Advertising Technology and Safe Game design – three areas the regulator had challenged the industry to make progress on quickly. The Commission also publishes a report on these areas of work which includes Expert by Experience input on progress made so far.
The group also discussed ideas about how the Commission could better work with people with lived experience and the need for more effective engagement and collaboration to benefit consumers, working together to prevent harm and make gambling safer.
Gambling Commission Chief Executive, Neil McArthur, said: “Our goal is to make gambling safer for consumers and the creation of the interim group is another important step in helping us bring a wider range of perspectives into our work.
“We will work with the interim group to co-create a formal Advisory Board, which will allow us to involve Experts by Experience more closely in the development of our regulatory framework.
“I am really grateful for the open and constructive way in which members of the interim group have shared their personal experiences of gambling related harm and for everyone’s commitment to work together to tackle these important issues. It is early days and we are learning along the way to ensure that feedback and advice is utilised in the most effective way. This week we looked at the subject of affordability and we’ll be focused on other areas of player protection online in the weeks ahead.’
A spokesperson for the Interim Group said: “The Interim Group comprises a group of people who have suffered a wide range of gambling harms, including recovering gambling addicts, family and partners of addicts, and those who have lost children to gambling suicides.
“The role that is too often allocated to Experts by Experience (EbEs) of telling our stories and commenting on narrowly defined questions is ineffective, so the establishment of the group is long overdue.
“We are determined that EbEs should play a continuing and much more active role in the deliberations and decision making across the whole remit of the Commission as part of the National Strategy to reduce gambling harms. We bring a new and vital perspective on key issues of regulation and even how the Commission itself works.
“We and they are learning how we can best work together, but we feel that there is a genuine commitment all round to make it work. Some of our comments were incorporated into the progress update on the industry-led working groups, but in future we may issue our own comments on issues that we have consulted with the Commission. We appreciate that the Commission recognises the value of our input, but we differ on certain key issues. Notably on how far and how fast improvements can be made. We look forward to working with the Commission.”
The interim group will be in place for at least the next six months, when the Commission plans to move to a permanent Advisory Group, which will add to other advice that the regulator receives through groups such as the Advisory Board for Safer Gambling and the Digital Advisory Panel.
This valuable input will add to the Commission’s other approaches currently used to include the views of consumers in their work. This includes information and feedback received from the consumer contact centre, online consumer research panels and engagement and consultations on regulatory changes.

BC.GAME Named Main Sponsor of St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, 2021 Caribbean Premier League Champions
BC.GAME has announced it will be the main sponsor of the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots, the professional cricket team representing the Caribbean nation of St. Kitts and Nevis and winners of the 2021 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) championship. Under the agreement, the BC.GAME logo will appear on the front of the Patriots’ playing jerseys, supported by in-stadium branding, official digital channel integration, and fan engagement initiatives.
Founded in 2015, the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots play their home matches at Warner Park in Basseterre. The team claimed the CPL championship in 2021 and won the inaugural men’s The 6ixty tournament in 2022. Warner Park has a regular seating capacity of approximately 8,000, which can be expanded to around 10,000 for major events. With consistent results and strong home support, the Patriots remain one of the league’s most competitive teams.
BC.GAME stated that the decision to become the Patriots’ Main Sponsor was based on three key considerations:
- Team influence: The Patriots have delivered strong performances in the CPL and built a large, loyal fan base, aligning closely with BC.GAME’s brand positioning.
- Season focus: The CPL’s compact schedule ensures concentrated and measurable brand exposure, with the front-of-shirt position guaranteeing visibility in key broadcast moments.
- Community connection: The team enjoys strong support both locally and among diaspora communities, making it an ideal platform to pair in-stadium excitement with digital engagement and global fan interaction.
The partnership includes: Main Sponsor status for the 2025 season, front-of-shirt placement on both home and away jerseys (as confirmed by the club), in-stadium and broadcast-visible assets (including perimeter boards and interview backdrops), integration with the club’s official website and social media channels, and a series of fan engagement and reward activities around matchdays and player content.
Jack Dorset, CEO of BC.GAME, said: “Becoming the Patriots’ Main Sponsor puts BC.GAME at the heart of the CPL action. The front-of-shirt position ensures our brand appears at the most important moments of the season. We will pair this visibility with interactive products and experiences that bring the matchday energy to our global online community.”“We are excited to welcome BC.GAME as our Main Sponsor for the 2025 season. From jerseys to the stadium, from broadcast to social media, this partnership will deepen fan engagement and bring the energy of Caribbean cricket to a wider audience.” said Navneet Ganapathi – Sponsorship head of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
