“We are so pleased to be able to promote our charity partner GamCare and the important work they do to help those suffering because of problem gambling. Problem gambling is a complex issue and there is no one quick fix. That’s why it’s so important for us to come together as an industry and discuss all angles to help prevent gambling related harm.”
