GambleAware commits £3m investment for new Gambling Harms Awareness and Support training programme
GambleAware has issued an Invitation to Tender to develop and deliver a new Gambling Harms Awareness and Support training programme across Great Britain.
The programme aims to increase awareness and knowledge of gambling harms amongst professionals and community leaders who work or volunteer in eight sectors: debt advisors, faith leaders, primary care, social care, occupational health, criminal justice settings, housing and homelessness services and community pharmacies.
Currently, people working in these settings may lack sufficient awareness, knowledge, and skills to identify gambling harms or provide the appropriate support. But because members of the public may turn to them for help and advice, they can be well placed to offer early interventions and help reduce gambling harms in the community.
The programme is expected to provide the tools required to effectively identify and support individuals experiencing or at risk of experiencing gambling harms. Investing £3m over a three-year period, GambleAware anticipates the training will encourage earlier intervention and will, in turn, facilitate a reduction in gambling harms.
Upskilling professionals and community leaders through the new training programme will also contribute to expanding the National Gambling Treatment Service (NGTS) provision and promoting a whole-system, community-based approach.
GambleAware is seeking bids from qualified organisation(s) to develop and deliver the training and resources, in collaboration with and building on GambleAware’s existing networks, on a national and local level, across England, Scotland and Wales.
The selected bidder will work with and alongside existing and future providers of training on gambling harms awareness and intervention, playing a convening and collaborating role to bring together providers, fostering an environment of mutual support and development, rather than one of competition.
This new commissioned programme will be in addition to GambleAware’s current portfolio of training and educational resources; with an increased scope, it will reach more people geographically and be tailored to meet the needs of specific groups.
More information about the programme of work and Invitation to Tender is available here. The deadline for applications is 12pm on 5 November 2021.
Those who would like more information or are interested in applying, please email [email protected].
GambleAware is currently commissioning another work to expand the Scottish Gambling Education Hub Service, aimed at young people, to England and Wales.

GCoin MEXC
Playnance Launches GCoin MEXC Listing with 200,000 Holders and 2M Daily Transactions
Today, Playnance has officially launched GCOIN trading, marking a significant milestone in the expansion of its Web3 entertainment ecosystem. The token is now live on MEXC, with GCOIN/USDT trading opening on March 18, 2026 at 13:00 UTC following the project’s Token Generation Event earlier the same day.
The listing introduces GCOIN to the open market, unlocking broader access to the Playnance ecosystem and opening the door to a potentially enormous global user base. The launch follows strong early momentum, including high participation in MEXC’s Kickstarter campaign, where users competed for a share of a 50,000 USDT airdrop.
Ahead of the Token Generation Event, the GCOIN community demonstrated strong demand, with over 1 billion GCOIN locked in staking within hours of the staking program going live.
As the Exosystem’s native token, GCOIN powers transactions, rewards, and participation across a rapidly growing Web3 entertainment network. Beyond adoption metrics, GCOIN is designed to bridge Web2 and Web3 by offering seamless, Web2-like on-chain experiences that lower the barrier to entry for mainstream users. This approach is already enabling Playnance to onboard large volumes of new users, converting them into active participants within the ecosystem. The ecosystem already includes over 300,000 GCOIN holders, reflecting strong early adoption and continued expansion at scale.
The exchange debut represents a major step forward in accessibility, allowing global users to engage with the ecosystem through a liquid and scalable market environment. Deposits for GCOIN are already open on MEXC, with withdrawals scheduled to begin on March 19, providing users with full flexibility to trade and manage their holdings.
“Today marks a defining moment for Playnance,” said Pini Peter, CEO of Playnance. “We identified early the opportunity to bring real scale into Web3 entertainment, and we’re building one of the leading ecosystems to support it. With GCOIN now live, we’re opening the door to what comes next – a new wave of users, new models, and a much larger shift in how entertainment moves on-chain. This is just the beginning.”
Playnance has built its token model around ecosystem-driven rewards, linking value distribution directly to platform activity rather than relying on fixed emissions. The platform already supports more than 10,000 on-chain games and processes over 2 million on-chain transactions daily, reflecting strong user engagement and growing adoption across its network.
With GCOIN now live, Playnance is entering a new phase focused on accelerating growth, expanding its global reach, and driving deeper participation across its Web3 entertainment ecosystem.

Founded in 2020, Playnance is a Web3 infrastructure company developing live, non-custodial, on-chain products designed to onboard mainstream Web2 users into blockchain environments.
