Protecting against the risks of gambling harm
People
Gambling can affect any person from any walk of life. From customers to employees, we help organisations protect their people’s welfare from the risks of gambling harm.
Performance
Whether in a business environment or the sporting world, the lack of focus and increased stress levels brought on by problem gambling can have a negative impact on performance and business sustainability.
Reputation
Protecting your organisation against gambling harm can increase the welfare of your people and minimise both reputational and financial risk.
Operations
We understand the importance of playing by the rules, especially for sports organisations and gambling operators. Failure to comply to certain laws and regulations can result in financial sanctions, as well as the inability to operate.
