Conclusion of the 4th Safer Gambling Week in Cyprus
The events and actions held during the 4th Safer Gambling Week were completed in absolute success and remarkable public response. The organisation of the Safer Gambling Week (SGW) is part of National Betting Authority’s efforts to foster a culture of Safer Gambling and create the conditions for a safer environment for the players and the public. The Week was under the auspices of the Minister of Finance and was supported by more than 50 entities and both public and private organisations.
Through various activities held during the Week, various stakeholders, such as bookmakers, casino employees, players, vulnerable groups, and the public, had the opportunity to learn more about safer participation in gambling, as well as explore effective ways to deal with the risks associated with problem gambling.
As highlighted by the President of the NBA, Mrs. Ioanna Fiakkou, “the Safer Gambling Week, running for the 4th consecutive year, has now been established as an open dialogue platform, through which, the National Betting Authority encourages discussions about safer gambling practices, with input from academics, experienced trainers, industry professionals and everyday people. Our goal, as the regulatory and supervisory authority of the betting industry in Cyprus, is to engage the whole society in this dialogue, in order to ensure that gambling will remain a fun activity, thus avoiding problematic and pathological behaviours among society”.
As assured by Mrs. Fiakkou, “NBA’s mission was, and remains, the effective regulation and sustainable development of the industry. A precondition for achieving this goal is the creation of appropriate and effective mechanisms to minimize the risks posed by the illegal market and problem gambling. To this end, we pay great importance to prevention and the creation of further safeguards for the players and society. The strategic cooperation with stakeholders for the development and implementation of policies, and initiatives that protect both players and the wider society, is an important factor to the achievement of the NBA’s goals”.
The 4th Safer Gambling Week launched with the Safer Gambling Conference, in which over 25 international speakers from 10 different countries, mainly industry professionals, distinct academics and representatives from European regulatory authorities, shared their experiences and expertise. The Conference covered a wide spectrum of subjects related to Safer Gambling, while it was attended by over 300 people.
During the Safer Gambling Week, there were more than 25 events being held. The main activities, such as interactive events at universities all over Cyprus, awareness events at military camps and the interactive game “Keep the game safe quiz”, were focused on young people. As part of the quiz, participants were urged to test their knowledge about Safer Gambling in an entertaining way. Τhe Week’s schedule also included the opening of the Prevention and Treatment Centre “PHAROS” for the problem and pathological engagement in gambling, which is established in Limassol by the Cyprus Gaming and Casino Supervision Commission and the Cyprus National Addictions Authority.
Furthermore, seminars by trainers from Cyprus and from abroad were held for specific groups such as parents, teachers/educators, human resources managers and CEOs, the Authority’s regulated entities and their staff, and the licensed casino’s personnel as well. Indicatively, licensed bookmakers and their personnel, attended the “Safer Gambling and AML” seminar.
It is worth noting that, the information and awareness campaign of NBA also included all the football matches of the First Division championship, in collaboration with the Cyprus Football Association.
The Week concluded with the 3×3 basketball tournament “Keep the Ball safe”, in collaboration with the Cyprus Basketball Federation. Beyond the competing part, children and their parents had the opportunity to participate in entertaining activities, such as face painting and basketball game for children. The monetary prize won by the first two teams, will be given to the Europa Uomo association, which aims to raise awareness about prostate cancer.

Leading iGaming technology provider Checkd Development, part of the award-winning Checkd Group, has partnered with William Hill to launch its Automated Betting System (ABS), enhancing efficiency and engagement in pre-match football and horse racing betting.
Through this partnership, William Hill has introduced a range of automated, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s innovative ABS technology. The system offers users a familiar betting journey, enriched with contextual datapoints, while providing operators with a robust backend solution for efficient bet creation and management.
Next-Generation Betting Automation
At the heart of ABS is Checkd Dev’s proprietary ‘BRUNO’ platform, which powers all of Checkd’s in-house media products and an expanding portfolio of Tier 1 Operator and Media client solutions. This advanced platform automates accumulator bets at scale, leveraging betting trends, pricing data, and user behavior insights to drive engagement and conversion.
First launched in 2024 in collaboration with Flutter Group’s Sky Bet, Checkd Dev’s ABS has since evolved to further optimise accumulator bet presentation and simplify bet-slip journeys. With the ability to automate bet generation across multiple brands and territories, the system reduces manual workloads for trading teams while delivering highly relevant, data-driven betting opportunities.
For football betting, bets are dynamically categorised based on historical form, giving bettors greater insight and confidence in their selections. The system’s user interface (UI) has been refined over two years through deployments with multiple Tier 1 operators and media partners, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.
Industry Leaders on the Partnership
Sandro Di Michele, Director of Horse Racing at William Hill, commented: “This partnership between William Hill and Checkd Dev demonstrates how committed we are to delivering new innovative products to our customers. The ability to deliver at speed has been vital, allowing us to launch both our pre-match football and horse racing products seamlessly ahead of the Cheltenham Festival.”
Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Development, added: “At Checkd Dev, we understand the high standards required to support Tier 1 bookmakers in competitive regulated markets. We continue to expand our technology’s distribution and evolve our products, always striving to stay one step ahead with solutions that simplify operations for operators and media owners. Working with the William Hill team has been a pleasure, and we look forward to further collaboration.”
“Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved since its launch last year, offering smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.”
