Safer Gambling Week 2021 will take place from 1-7 November, with organisations behind the initiative to again champion higher standards across the industry.
Backed by the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC), Bingo Association and British Amusement Catering Trade Association (Bacta), the project launched in 2017 as Responsible Gambling Week before being rebranded as Safer Gambling Week last year.
This year’s event will again see a wide range of safer gambling messages displayed online and in land-based venues across the UK, with the aim of sparking a nationwide conversation on how to bet and gamble responsibly.

Despite encountering setbacks in the form of closed brick and mortar businesses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the BGC maintains that last year’s event was a ‘huge success’.
Michael Dugher, CEO of the BGC, said: “As the standards body representing the regulated betting and gaming industry, the BGC is delighted to support Safer Gambling Week 2021.
