Over 45s three times less likely to know of RG facilities

More than 90% of UK gamblers were aware of the range of responsible gambling tools available to them during the last four months, BonusFinder.com research has found.

A BonusFinder.com survey of 500 UK casino and bingo players found that 31% of players across all age groups gambled ‘somewhat more’ than their regular totals in the period from March to June this year, but that an almost equal amount (28%) gambled ‘the same’ as they would under normal circumstances.

A UK Gambling Commission survey earlier this month also found that overall participation had decreased while many were confined to staying at home, but that some engaged players spent more time and money gambling on certain products.

Crucially, the survey revealed that a combined 94% of gamblers were aware of responsible gaming tools during the last four months including deposit, session and time limits, take a break, self-exclusion and profit and loss information, with the over 45s three times less likely to know of RG facilities than their younger counterparts.

Encouragingly, only 5% of participants said they were unaware of RG tools with this figure falling to just about 3% for 18-24-year olds.

Deposit limits were found to be the most widely acknowledged responsible gaming tool among all respondents. Men (66%) were found to be more likely to be aware of deposit limits than women (61%), while this disparity grew when questioned about time out tools with only 44% of women saying they knew they were available compared to 54% of men. However, only 46% of men acknowledged session limits in contrast to 52% of women.

Fintan Costello, Managing Director, BonusFinder.com, said: “Our research has found that RG tools have been top of mind for players even when many have been confined to their homes due to government guidelines.

“As the UK emerges from this period, we can see that gambling levels have risen but to a lesser extent than we expected and crucially, that players are aware of the range of helpful RG tools available to them across many regulated brands.

“The industry is taking a great deal of positive steps to protect players and it is high time we focused on this. We must continue to educate and normalise RG tools across all ages as well as improve and increase education and awareness for younger adults.”

5-reasons-mobile-igaming-is-growing-(and-how-to-earn-from-it)
Reading Time: < 1 minute

Mobile iGaming isn’t a trend anymore—it’s the new default. With 96% of the world’s digital population accessing the internet via smartphones, operators can no longer treat mobile as a “nice to have.” On Atlaslive, most players already come through mobile, showing just how deep this shift has gone. So they have investigated the reasons for it.

5 reasons are driving the rise of mobile play:

  1. Smartphones & 5G: Affordable devices and low-latency connections make betting and live casino seamless.
  2. Mobile-first UX: Fingerprint login, in-game wallets, and scrollable lobbies remove friction.
  3. New market regulations: Markets like Brazil are now opening to licensed apps, unlocking millions of players.
  4. Frictionless payments: From Apple Pay to Brazil’s Biometric Pix, fast deposits are now a mobile-native feature.
  5. User behavior shifts: Millennials and Gen Z expect short, impulsive, on-the-go sessions—and mobile delivers.

Mobile iGaming has clearly become the main arena for user activity and revenue growth. To find out more and see how operators can improve engagement and drive revenue with mobile strategies, read the full article.

iGaming just got a new ride. Bet It Drives, GR8 Tech’s new podcast, takes the industry’s most interesting voices out of the studio and into the fast lane. Hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, CSO, each episode is filmed entirely in a moving car, with cameras rolling and London as the backdrop.

No predictable Q&As: Bet It Drives pairs high-energy visuals with relaxed, unscripted dialogue. Shot by the award-winning crew behind campaigns for global brands, the format blends high-energy visuals with the kind of candid moments you only get when people are truly relaxed.

“Bet It Drives was born from a simple idea—great conversations happen when people feel at ease,” said Yevhen Krazhan. “Driving through London strips away the formality, lets personalities shine, and captures the pace and unpredictability that define the iGaming industry.”

The premiere kicks off with Alex Pratt, Group Managing Director of Clarion Gaming, who oversees a portfolio of leading B2B events and media brands, including ICE, iGB Affiliate, and iGaming Business. With over two decades in the iGaming industry, Pratt has been instrumental in shaping its evolution and is recognized for his insights into emerging markets, technological advancements, and fostering community within the gaming sector.

During the ride, Alex opened up about:

  • ICE vs. iGB Live—which is his personal favorite, and why.
  • Organizing world-class iGaming events and how major decisions like moving ICE to Barcelona come together behind the scenes.
  • Partnering with big tech and how such collaborations shape the future of iGaming.
  • Advice for startups attending conferences.
  • Alex’s Spotify playlist and the tracks that keep him going.
  • The most jaw-dropping booths he’s ever seen on the exhibition floor.
  • Which panels or attendees would he ban for the greater good of the industry.
  • Memorable after-parties—the kind you don’t forget, even if you wish you could.

“Alex really showed us what is happening on the front and the back of high-end igaming events,” said Krazhan. “From the strategic calls that shape entire conferences to the wild stories that never make the press, this episode is a perfect mix of insider knowledge, candid moments, and the kind of energy that makes you wish the ride was longer.”

With upcoming guests including Stephen Crystal, Rohini Sardana, and Helen Walton, Bet It Drives is set to deliver brilliant storytelling, unscripted moments, and a visual style unlike anything else in iGaming media.
