What is GambleAware?

GambleAware is one of the leading gambling addiction awareness charities in the UK. As fun as casino games can be, it is also important to recognise some of the negative effects they can have on people’s lives. If you feel like you are struggling with a gambling addiction of some sort, GambleAware has the resources to get you the help you need.

It is fantastic to see some of the biggest iGaming companies in the UK stand alongside the world of GambleAware and support them in their endeavours. No matter what types of games they may offer, they recognise the need for proper player support throughout.

What companies are affiliated with GambleAware?

If a casino operates in the UK in any capacity, you will most likely find that they are affiliated with GambleAware in some capacity. For example, Aspire Global, owners of the UK's preferred online casino, are proud members, along with other top contributors like GVC, William Hill, and Bet 365.

The conversation around gambling addictions and problem gambling is bigger than ever before.

What campaigns have GambleAware run recently?

GambleAware currently has a massive safer gambling campaign that much of this £10 million donation will go to. This is a key responsible gambling campaign that will run until 2021. A key part of this is the BetRegret campaign. It aims to bring awareness to the feeling of guilt players get when placing a bet they know they shouldn’t, and how to teach yourself to make better judgements and approach gambling with an overall healthier mindset.
