SOFTSWISS, a tech provider of innovative iGaming solutions, is extending its ongoing charity campaign to support flood-affected regions in Brazil. 

In May, the company provided emergency aid and launched an information campaign listing approved charities endorsed by Rubens Barrichello, SOFTSWISS Non-Executive Director in Latin America. Now, the company is focusing on a long-term project to supply clean water equipment to the region.

Although water levels have decreased in the affected region, humanitarian aid remains critical due to significant challenges in accessing cleaning and hygiene materials and ensuring water quality. Recent WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) assessments reveal poor water quality in many areas.

SOFTSWISS has committed to a long-term project aimed at sustained support by installing water purification equipment in schools in partnership with PW Tech. Initial efforts have focused on two schools:

  • Rui Barbosa Municipal Elementary School in Nova Santa Rita, 25 km from Porto Alegre
  • Machado de Assis Municipal Elementary School in Rolante, 135 km from Porto Alegre

The combined population of pupils and employees at these schools is over 100. Additionally, around 300 surrounding families will benefit from access to clean water provided by the schools. Situated in a rural area, one of the schools became isolated during floods, leaving it with no access to food and water. This school serves as a resource and shelter point for 160 surrounding families. Currently, they rely on well water and old iron reservoirs, which are in poor condition and suffer from animal contamination.

SOFTSWISS and PW Tech, with the support of R. Barrichello, have already undertaken crucial actions, including obtaining approval from the local government, conducting water analysis, preparing for equipment installation, and replacing old deteriorated elements at the schools. Now, they wait for the return of the classes for the educational part of the project, which will provide master classes about the importance of having clean water and its influence on health for pupils, teachers, and the community.

“When we started this charity project, I was convinced that it should not be just a one-time financial help. The immediate crisis passes and first aid is provided but people are left to deal with all the eco-social consequences. I am glad that the company shares my beliefs and is committed to a serious, long-term approach. SOFTSWISS has a lasting business presence in Brazil, with dedicated staff, and we are ready to do everything we can to support the local communities and contribute to their development,” said Rubens Barrichello, Non-Executive Director in Latin America at SOFTSWISS.

Fernando Silva, PW Tech CEO  shared: “We are thrilled to implement this project in partnership with SOFTSWISS. The flood’s impact is severe, but focusing on long-term solutions to provide clean water is crucial. This project is also educational. We are training residents on filter maintenance and educating them about the importance of clean water for health. Unfortunately, health issues due to poor water quality are common in this region, and this situation needs to change.”

SOFTSWISS also initiated an information campaign to engage the iGaming community, resulting in 11 iGaming media outlets displaying over 35 banners calling for aid on their platforms. The support from media partners has been invaluable in spreading awareness within the iGaming community about how they can help.

Under the theme “Perspectives,” a total of 43 compliance staff members from the Merkur Group across various countries gathered from 30 June to 1 July to further develop compliance processes in a sustainable manner. Colleagues from Germany, Spain, England, Malta, Australia and the US traveled to the two-day meeting at Benkhausen Castle, the in-house training centre of the Merkur Group. The workshop set the stage with expert presentations on global and digital topics such as cybersecurity, risk management and artificial intelligence. A panel discussion featuring representatives from various international companies within the Merkur Group, as well as a digital quiz, rounded out the programme.

In keeping with its guiding principle, the workshop focused on sharing experiences, fostering global networking and providing impetus for the further development of compliance processes. Because informal exchanges are also key to close cooperation, the evening programme created a relaxed atmosphere and gave participants the opportunity to continue their conversations, make new connections, and further strengthen team spirit across company and national boundaries.

“The ideas and diverse perspectives gained during the workshop will now be incorporated into our day-to-day work and help us to continuously improve collaboration and existing processes,” said Ludwig Beckmann, Chief Compliance Officer of the Merkur Group.

The concluding feedback session also highlighted just how valuable the international exchange is. The term “collaboration” came up particularly often, a clear indication of how highly the participants value working closely together within the international compliance network.

GRAI Launches New Campaign Helping Parents to Spot the Signs of Underage Gambling

The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) is encouraging parents and guardians to be alert to the signs of gambling among young people and to intervene early to prevent gambling harm.

The signs of gambling aren’t always visible, the GRAI in partnership with the Health Service Executive Addiction Services have developed dedicated advice on www.grai.ie to equip families with the knowledge to recognise the signs, advice on how to start the conversation with their children about gambling, and where to seek help if required.

To support the guidance, the GRAI has launched a national public awareness campaign across video on demand, radio, digital audio, and social media platforms, bringing this message directly to families across Ireland.

With the lines between entertainment and gambling increasingly blurred, especially online, what may look like harmless fun can still involve risk, money and chance in ways that affect young developing brains. Research commissioned by the GRAI and conducted by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) found that children who gamble are twice as likely to develop a gambling problem as adults.

Anne Marie Caulfield, CEO of the GRAI said: “We have launched this campaign to help parents start an important conversation about the risks of underage gambling. Children and young people are among the most at-risk members of Irish society when it comes to gambling exposure and harm. Children’s brains are still developing the judgement and impulse-control systems used to weigh up risk, which makes gambling appealing to them.

“With online gambling available at any time of the day, it is easy for the warning signs to be hidden. The guidance the GRAI developed with the HSE Addiction Services sets out some of the key behavioural signs to look out for in your child.”
