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.

SCCG Management, a global advisory firm specializing in gaming, sports betting, iGaming, and emerging gaming technologies, today announced a strategic partnership with Slot Check, Inc., a real-time slot performance intelligence platform delivering actionable machine-level insights directly to players and operators.

Through this partnership, SCCG will provide global business development, advisory support, and strategic distribution services to accelerate adoption of the Slot Check platform across commercial and tribal gaming markets. SCCG will facilitate introductions to casino operators, loyalty platforms, and strategic technology partners within its global network to support commercial deployment, integration opportunities, and long-term market expansion.

Slot Check delivers real-time slot performance analytics at the individual machine level, empowering users with detailed insights including Return to Player (RTP), Payout to Player (POP), win-per-spin metrics, jackpot performance, volatility profiles, machine trends, and multi-timeframe data ranging from hourly performance to 30-day analytics and since-last-jackpot reporting. It’s sports analytics for slots. The platform enables players to sort, filter, rank, and track every machine on a casino floor while also tagging favorite slots and monitoring personal play history. The player engagement Slot Check creates increases visits, coin in, and actual win – and every other KPI in between.

Designed as a progressive website application for seamless deployment, Slot Check provides casinos with a player engagement tool that enhances transparency, increases time-on-device, and supports loyalty-driven gamification initiatives. The platform can integrate within existing loyalty environments, positioning it as a force multiplier for casinos seeking to modernize the slot floor experience without requiring native app distribution.

“The slot floor remains the financial engine of the casino, yet player-facing innovation has historically lagged behind other verticals,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management. “Slot Check introduces a powerful layer of transparency, engagement, and data intelligence that aligns with the modern player’s expectations. Through our global operator relationships and distribution platform, we’re excited to help position Slot Check as a leading innovation partner across commercial and tribal gaming enterprises.”

In addition to global business development, the partnership includes a coordinated marketing and lead generation strategy leveraging SCCG’s media assets, newsletters, and sales channels. Slot Check will receive ongoing brand visibility across SCCG’s weekly newsletter reaching more than 33,000 global gaming executives, as well as inclusion in targeted articles, outreach campaigns, and technology innovation discussions designed to expand awareness and drive enterprise adoption.

Slot Check’s platform introduces a new dimension of slot floor intelligence by presenting ranked lists of performance insights, leaderboards, trend tracking, and advanced machine analytics that empower both players and operators. By combining detailed performance transparency with loyalty-linked engagement potential, the solution supports casinos seeking measurable lift in slot engagement, targeted promotional strategies, and enhanced guest retention.

“Slot Check has truly flipped the script and the results for those casinos bold enough to engage with us is INCREDIBLE!” states Grant Stousland, Founder & CEO, Slot Check, Inc. “We are excited to partner with SCCG’s global distribution network as they help us scale to the next phase of our platform’s growth.”

As the gaming industry continues to evolve toward data-driven personalization and digital engagement, the partnership between SCCG and Slot Check represents a strategic alignment between real-time performance analytics and a global advisory platform capable of accelerating enterprise adoption across diverse gaming markets.
