Microgaming salutes organisations like Gordon Moody, Betknowmore, Anonymind and Motiv8
ISLE OF MAN, 18 October 2022 – Leading online gaming software provider Microgaming is rallying behind Safer Gambling Week (October 17 to 23).
The industry-led event aims to stimulate conversation around safer gambling, while driving awareness of tools and resources that are available to people who believe they may have a problem.
As a leading provider of online gambling platform software, Microgaming takes its responsibility to ensuring players have access to such resources very seriously.
Through its corporate responsibility arm PlayItForward, it backs several organisations and charities that provide support and assistance to people who have experienced gambling harm.
These include the Gordon Moody, the UK’s number-one charity dedicated to providing support and treatment for gambling addiction. The charity aims to help people reclaim and rebuild their lives through recovery in a safe, supported environment.
PlayItForward recently helped Gordon Moody to create a comfort fund for affected others, as well as donating towards the purchase of new furniture to help treat more people.
PlayItForward also recently donated to digital mental health treatment service Anonymind, funding treatment and therapy courses for individuals struggling with gambling addiction.
Meanwhile, a financial contribution to Betknowmore UK, a leading provider of gambling support and training services, helped the group undertake valuable new research into support systems for women. This has led to a new gender specific support service for women called New Beginnings.
PlayItForward has also helped to fund treatment and provide a comfort fund for service users of Motiv8, an Isle of Man based charity offering addiction counselling.
Furthermore, Microgaming extended its support of Young Gamers & Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM), a UK charity providing educational programmes to help build the digital resilience of young and vulnerable people, as well as raise awareness of problematic gambling.
