Well, we are coming to you again with a great event this week - Safer Gambling Week!
The whole campaign is focused on teaching players how to play safely at all times and enjoy their gambling sessions without feeling anxious or experiencing any other negative consequences.
The Event Schedule
You can enjoy the Safer Gambling Week from Monday, October 17 to Sunday, October 23
What will happen at Safer Gambling Week?
The event is dedicated to you and every gambler! The goal is to raise awareness of the risks of gambling and to educate players about a safer and more secure approach to their gambling habits.
It’s good to think about your gambling sessions, discuss them, and equip yourself with the knowledge and tools to take control and gamble more safely.
The Safer Gambling Week is an event that takes place every year for players from the UK and Ireland and has the support of multiple partners.
Safer Gambling Tools
Some of the things that you will learn are related to the tools you can use specifically for preventing risky gambling behavior.
Tools Included

Additionally, the campaign also offers a handful of advice that we recommend you take into consideration:

- Keep in touch with yourself and notice the warning signs of risky behavior
- Never chase your losses
- Gambling should not impact your personal relationships or career
- Take a break whenever you feel the need
- Always gamble within your budget
The Get Support page will present you with 7 different entities that can provide you with not only advice but with long-term counseling.
Limit and Block
Another set of tools presented at the Safer Gambling Week can be found on the Take Action page. Here you will learn how to limit gambling content on social media to view fewer gambling ads.
