KnowNow Founder and MD, Paula Pusey attended ICE this week. Here’s her own slice of ICE…
The gambling industry is making headlines again and once again it seems to be for all the wrong reasons. I have spent the last couple of days at ICE and yes there were plenty of companies using promo girls to sell their wares. Yes there were plenty of men dressed in suits ogling girls who were barely dressed at all swinging around poles.

The gambling industry has been in the headlines again. Over the past few days I’ve seen stories about gambling sponsorship of junior footballers shirts, people who have self excluded being contacted by operators and casino style games on Facebook.
Meet The Young Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) our latest charity partner at Social Responsibility for Gambling Operators.
Keeping Crime out of Gambling is being held at the Grange Tower Bridge Hotel in London on the 17th January.
With a packed days schedule our first panel discussion of the morning will be moderated by Andrew Gellatly; Head of Research at GamblingCompliance.
You would have to have been hiding under a rock to miss all of the negative coverage of the gambling industry lately. There is so much to talk about… The UK’s hidden problem gambling epidemic, fixed odds betting terminals, sponsorship of football shirts, irresponsible affiliate marketing campaigns, dubious data scraping techniques, connections to crime, sector wars between bookmakers and casino operators, industry donations to problem gambling charities not being met, huge fines being issued by the Gambling Commission, unregulated skin betting, loot boxes and operators encouraging young people with products that appeal to children. The list goes on and on and is growing every week.
