Public Awareness Programme

A key role for RIGT is to develop a national public education and awareness strategy as part of our overall prevention of problem gambling agenda.

Launched in September 2007, the Gamble Aware website is the first step in the major national public awareness programme.  The website is a one-stop shop for information and advice about gambling.  It helps consumers manage their gambling, understand how gambling works, learn about new player protection measures being brought in under the Gambling Act, and find out where to get treatment and advice if they feel their gambling is getting out of hand. Visit the site to find out more at www.gambleaware.co.uk

While the Gambling Industry Code for Socially Responsible Advertising requires the website address to be carried on all non-broadcast advertising, RIGT encourages all gambling operators to include the website on all advertising, marketing and promotional material.
