We’re delighted to announce that the UK Gambling Commission will be opening our 4th Annual Conference in September. Welcome to Tim Miller, Executive Director at the Gambling Commission who joins our great line-up of speakers. Tim will be opening day 1, Social Responsibility for Gambling Operators, with a keynote speech.
We are super keen to bring the compliance and player protection community together to discuss the plethora of crucial topics that have arisen over the past 18 months since we ran our last live event in London back in January 2020. It is so important that we continue our crucial work of coming together as an industry to help make gambling safer.
Conference venues were allowed to open on the 17th May and we were gearing up to run the event at the end of June. However the rise of the Delta variant in the UK, travel restrictions and the pushing back of “freedom day” to 19th July were all working against us. We have therefore taken the decision to delay the event until after the summer. The new dates for your diary are 7th September for Social Responsibility for Gambling Operators and 8th September for Keeping Crime Out of Gambling.
We’re counting down the days until our 4th Annual Conference at KnowNow HQ. So time to hand over to our MD Paula Murphy…
Here in the UK at least, we are fortunate that our world is cautiously opening up and getting back to business. I loved seeing LinkedIn posts from our land based colleagues as venues are opening their doors once again.
At KnowNow we’re prepared and good to go with an agenda I’ve been toiling away on for our fourth annual conference. This will now take place at Etc venues Chancery Lane on the 7th and 8th September. It will be our first opportunity to bring the compliance and player protection community back together in a real world environment since we ran our last conference way back in January 2020.
Recently KnowNow partnered with RightWay Compliance and Seventh Wave Training to bring you an interactive online training course. We delivered this twice to delegates over a five week period.
This is more than just a digital training course. We think of it as a training / consultancy hybrid. You’ll get access to our experts over a 5 week period and they build an understanding of your specific needs. We’ll tailor our advise and the content we cover to help you to develop, shape and sense check your strategy. Feedback from the last set of delegates was fantastic:
“I really enjoyed the course and it was nice to have the two different tracks. For me it was really helpful, I learned a lot and it was great that it was interactive. I think that’s the best way to pick up the information.”
Nicole Bernaerts, Regulatory Compliance Officer, L&L Europe Ltd
There has been a fair few changes and considerations during the International pandemic that mean those working in Compliance and Player Protection might need to bring in new ways of working and be aware of different regulatory guidelines.
This online training course is specifically designed to give you all of the knowledge and information you need to implement and maintain best practice in the new normal and beyond. Contact us today to discuss your compliance and player protection training requirements.
We’ve got a packed agenda for our Player Protection Forum in January. We’re delighted to welcome back David Clifton, Director and co-founder of Clifton Davies Consultancy Limited. David will be opening the day with a review of the Player Protection landscape.
The key founding principle at KnowNow is that ethical business is not just the right thing to do, it is also the best way to ensure sustainable commercial success. That’s quite a big statement I know! But it’s one I base my whole business on and I’m very confident I can back up.
KnowNow turned 3 this year. Where does the time go? Here’s KnowNow MD, Paula Murphy, reflecting on the challenges this most difficult year has presented to the gambling industry and looking ahead at the planned KnowNow events for the remainder of the year.
2020 – what a crazy year it has been so far! Back in December we left the old decade and welcomed the new full of excitement for what the next few months might hold. I posted pictures of my family, all smiling, squished around my brothers dining table for breakfast on New Year’s Day accompanied by #newdecade and #movingforward. I didn’t see my brother, sister in law and my four gorgeous nieces again until three weeks ago.
As the twenty-tens became the twenties we all became aware that there was a virus in China that sounded pretty horrific. However none of us expected it to impact our lives the way it has.
We’re delighted to announce that Jason Chess, Partner at Wiggin LLP will be joining the line-up of speakers at our Responsible Marketing for Gambling Operators conference.
Jason will be presenting The legalities of what is and isn’t allowed. How do we interpret the rules?
With lockdown restrictions easing we hand over to KnowNow MD Paula to look at the Gambling Commission guidelines introduced throughout and our Compliance and Player Protection training to help navigate your business through them.
Here we are coming into the summer months and slowly starting to emerge from lockdown. Bookies in England are opening their doors, casinos and bingo halls are preparing to do the same. What an absolute rollercoaster ride the last few months have been on so many levels.
Online Gambling – Is it on the increase? We were warned that it would early in this current global crisis. So let’s hand over to our MD, Paula, to look at the statistics, discuss new industry regulations and introduce brand new Online Training from KnowNow.
