Safer Gambling Week

Updated January 19, 2025

Safer Gambling Week 2024 is running from November 18th to 24th. It’s an important week that unites players, operators, and many support organisations to promote responsible gambling.

The campaign highlights practical tools like deposit limits, reality checks, and self-exclusion to help players manage their gambling habits to avoid gambling harm. By fostering open conversations and offering guidance, SGW aims to minimise gambling-related risks and keep the experience enjoyable so that everyone can know and keep to their limits.

Over time, Safer Gambling Week has driven meaningful change, with a rise in the use of responsible gambling tools over the dedicated week. The Betting and Gaming Council’s analysis of the 2023 SGW campaign revealed a 30% increase in the use of responsible gambling tools, with 54% of players setting deposit limits for the first time, and other positive figures.

Let’s all work together to create for the long term a more aware and more protected community.

Better change
