Better Change and RG24 to offer free safer gambling training to employees in UK

That the gambling industry needs to do more in protecting consumers is a well-documented and contentious fact of life in the UK, and Better Change, a company committed to changing the narrative around responsible gambling and RG24seven Virtual Training, a free compliance-grade virtual training service for casino and gaming company employees, have come together to change this.

Free Safer Gambling training launches to offer actionable solutions

This begins with the launch of a FREE Safer Gambling training now available to UK employees. The collaboration seeks to put forward both companies' expertise in providing the framework for a new, ethical and evidence-based approach to Safer Gambling in the market, so that anyone engaged in the industry who may need to learn more about the best responsible gambling practices can do so.

Better Change Chief Executive Officer Victoria Reed has welcomed this new opportunity to see the two companies work together on what is an important and relevant topic in today’s workplace in the United Kingdom. Reed said:

"The industry’s overwhelmingly positive response to the creation of this training demonstrates not only how much it is needed, but also how willing the industry is to collaborate on important topics such as Safer Gambling."

A solution by the industry for the industry

She was joined by RG24Seven Virtual CEO Wendy Anderson who similarly highlighted the success of this newly forged alliance in bringing together prominent experts in Safer Gambling to offer a compliance-grade training that is created "by the industry for the industry."

"Our best-in-class virtual training is effective and free to all UK gambling employees. It transforms the way employees learn about Safer Gambling through engaging and interactive videos presented by the best minds in the industry," Anderson added.

The course is led by multiple industry insiders who have narrowly specialized in responsible gambling and the best practices in their field, leveraging time-tested approaches and newly discovered evidence.

The presenters of the courses include prominent RG bigwigs from Kindred Group, Flutter Entertainment, Entain, William Hill, The Betting & Gaming Council, Mindway AI, Midnite, Tombola, Viral Interactive, Luxury Leisure, Metropolitan Gaming, 17:10 Gaming, Leisure Electronics, and Les Ambassadeurs.

According to Reed, this shared expertise across the board will make it possible for the leading UK gambling experts to come together, have a meaningful impact on employees involved in the industry and work for a safer industry across the board.

The ultimate goal is to empower people working in the UK’s gambling industry to become advocates for better overall consumer protection.
