In the first quarter of 2023, Kindred Group’s share of revenue from harmful gambling decreased to 3.0 per cent and the improvement effect after interventions was 83.0 per cent. During the quarter, effects of automated technological solutions such as detecting and engaging with customers at risk through automated interventions are showing initial signs of a positive trend.

Kindred Group plc (Kindred) reports a decrease in the share of revenue from harmful gambling to 3.0 (3.3) per cent in the first quarter of 2023. This positive trend can be attributed to improvements focused on enhancing the customer’s responsible gambling journey. During the quarter, 83.0 per cent of detected customers saw improved gambling behaviour after an intervention was made by Kindred’s responsible gambling and customer facing teams. This is a small improvement from the previous quarter and serves as another testament to the importance of intervention efforts.

“We have continuously emphasised the importance of detecting and engaging with our customers who are showing markers of harm. To prevent a harmful behaviour, early intervention is critical, and I am glad that we can see result of the roll out of automated interventions that we have done in some of our markets,” says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Kindred Group.

“Going forward I look forward to following the holistic approach and collaboration across different teams within Kindred. Responsible gambling is not a factor only for one team, but it is something that every single employee contributes to through their knowledge and commitment to reducing harmful revenue. By our tech teams working hand in hand with the responsible gambling and customer facing teams, we can swiftly release improved interventions across different markets. All in line with our Journey towards Zero road map,” concludes Tjärnström.

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.
