Better Change (Gibraltar) Limited is proud to announce that they launched their exciting new product, Gamblewise, to offer an innovative way for land-based customers of establishments such as casinos, betting shops and arcades, similar levels of player protection to those playing online.

Gamblewise empowers each player to take control of their gambling by inviting individuals to set their own limits such as how long they are happy to spend within a venue. Once their limit has been reached, Gamblewise sends a friendly alert to their mobile phone or other personal device to ensure they are cognisant of their initial intentions.

For those players who would prefer a more personal interaction, venue staff can also be instructed to interact with the player once someone’s limits have been reached.

Gamblewise is not a designed to be a prohibitive tool but has proven to be successful in ensuring that players remain in full control of their gambling session and do not exceed a level of play they are comfortable with, while at all times being in control.

Gamblewise is entirely free for players to use and is funded via an affordable monthly fee charged to each establishment for the installation and maintenance of the proprietary technology.

As a leading social impact company keen to be the driving force for change in the gambling industry, Better Change are proud to be able to offer their Gamblewise tool as a key part of their portfolio. It will enable socially responsible operators an additional tool to complement their existing player protection and regulatory affairs work for a very modest monthly fee from as little as £10 per venue.

Having already achieved a place on the UKGC RET list and their ISO 9001 Quality Management accreditation, Better Change have a strong portfolio of safer gambling products aimed primarily at the remote gaming industry and felt the same attention was lacking for the land-based side of the industry.

Better Change Founder, Victoria Reed said “ We are extremely proud to be launching our Gamblewise product as it is not only a product which fits into the Better Change portfolio seamlessly, but as an organisation entirely committed to reducing gambling related harm and protecting players, we felt there was a significant gap in the level of player protection offered to retail and land based players compared to those playing online. We are thrilled to be able to offer our clients an innovative, commercially sympathetic, and effective way to support their existing safer gambling strategies”

Andrew Tottenham, Gamblewise Founder said, “We are delighted to be partnering with Better Change, an organisation known for its innovation and dynamism. We look forward to working together with Better Change to distribute safer gambling tools throughout the UK industry and overseas, for the benefit of players and operators.”

Tonybet says a player in Laurier-Station, Canada has claimed the “golden card” prize worth $20,000 CAD in the operator’s World Cup Card Collection. The announcement was made Tuesday 21st July 2026.

The World Cup collection featured 51 cards in total, including 48 digital cards representing participating World Cup nations, plus three unique prize cards in bronze, silver and gold. Tonybet said the bronze card—available during the group stage—was previously found by a customer in Saint-Colomban, Canada, while the silver card—available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals—was won by a player in County Kildare, Ireland.

The golden card became available for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final, and has now been claimed, Tonybet said.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “You can plan a campaign down to the last detail, but you can’t plan what the World Cup brings.

“We designed the collection to evolve with the tournament, and every knockout round created new stories we couldn’t have predicted. Seeing players complete their collections and discovering who would uncover each prize was the most rewarding part of the campaign.

“I hope everyone enjoyed the experience for what it was meant to be: a fun addition to the tournament, played responsibly and always within their limits.”

Tonybet said the collection will remain open until 31 July for players who are still completing sets and spending coins, although all grand prizes have been awarded.
