Like we announced in June, the Safer Gambling Week kicks off today, on 18 November and lasts until 24 November. With a strong emphasis on promoting responsible gambling practices and providing essential support to those affected by gambling-related issues, this initiative aims to raise awareness and educate the public on safer gambling habits.
Setting Limits is Crucial
Throughout the week, a series of key messages will be highlighted and discussed. From taking regular breaks, setting and adhering to spending limits, avoid chasing losses or seeing gambling as a reliable source of income and many more.
Maintaining a balanced lifestyle involves using available responsible gambling tools and making informed decisions to ensure gambling does not negatively impact players' financial stability.
The importance of utilising available tools and seeking support when needed is key. Apart from the tools used to set individual limits on deposits, losses and the time spent online, we will also find out more about helplines and Self-Exclusion options.
A Collective Effort Endorsed by AskGamblers
Safer Gambling Week is a collaborative effort involving various organizations and spreading the message of safer gambling. By educating young people and vulnerable individuals about responsible gambling practices, we all need to foster a culture of mindfulness and caution around gambling.
Safer Gambling Week 2024 is an opportunity for everyone to reflect on their gambling habits, engage in conversations about responsible gambling, and access the tools and support needed to gamble safely.
