Gambling Dual Accountability

#Taketimetothink - The reality The risks associated with #gambling Dual accountability. #sgweek23

Look at the wording choice here.. Fun Easy Spend Play Smart All carefully chosen to positively enforce gambling. #SGWeek23

The aim of #safergambling #SGweek23 messaging is to instill a sense of blame onto the individual (through constant use of 'YOU'). Then make it appear that the rest of the ordinary public are gambling responsibly. Deflection #Sgweek23

@epicpgc @RangersFC How can this be independent if... "Funding for the project comes from club sponsor Kindred, whose brands include 32Red and Unibet." #SGweek23

Players and staff at @RangersFC will take part in groundbreaking, independent gambling education sessions, delivered by EPIC and designed especially for top-level sportspeople, with the aim of facilitating a healthy relationship with the sector. bit.ly/EPICxRangers

The belief that self-regulating gambling firms want to make gambling less harmful is a myth.  Such compliance seriously risks impacting profitability.  Easier to be fined for regulatory breaches every so often. #safergambling #sgweek23

Safer #gambling objectives can't be achieved by global profit driven corporations with shareholder accountability. Lobbying and PR to deflect attention from some of their schemes to extract maximum possible losses from the most vulnerable. Profits come from harm. #sgweek23

@SGWeek Or Stop? Or #taketimetothink perhaps? #SGweek23

If the fun stops, take a break. #SGWeek23

@SGWeek Any advice on what the limit should be in terms of a % or £ amount? Or perhaps as time?

Whether you enjoy blackjack, slot games, roulette or poker, remember to set yourself a limit and stick to it. ♠️♦️ #SGWeek23

@SGWeek Repeated use of the word YOU again. Three times here. #SGweek23 nothing more than a marketing initiative to put blame on individuals.

It's day two of #SGWeek23, and we're here to remind you that going over your spending limit is a big no-no when gambling. ❌

#Safergambling - various pledges that look to put the onus fully on the individual. The lack of adherence to responsible gambling codes of practice that aren't complied with are conveniently not mentioned in any of this industry campaigning. #sgweek23

#Taketimetothink - The reality The risks associated with #gambling Dual accountability. #sgweek23

@SGWeek #sgweek23 is a marketing campaign, used alongside codes of conduct, pledges, commitments and PR to delay regulatory interventions and deflect from regulatory failings around protecting customers from harm. #SGweek23

#SGweek23 is a marketing stunt. Continued use of the word YOU to place the individual at blame. "spread the word to help everyone gamble" Desperate stuff this.

@SGWeek Interested use of the word YOU or YOUR 5 times in this post. Continually looking to shift onus onto the individual while the industry exploits those at risk for profit.

There were 240,282 #safergambling interactions across Rank in 2022/23. Safer Gambling information, advice & support is available in all our @GrosvenorCasino & @MeccaBingo venues, & on our online platforms, throughout the year. #SGWeek23 #KeepItFun

The #safergambling week message encourages those who may be suffering from addiction to accept full responsibility. The normalisation of gambling continues by self regulating industry that doesnt care for the harm it causes, nor takes accountability. Addicted to harm. #SGweek23

Good article explaining the sham of a week where gambling sector mention nothing about their role in harm but instead blame individual. #sgweek politicshome.com/members/articl…
