GVC Sets out plan to safely welcome customers back to betting shopsReading Time: 3 minutes

 

GVC Holdings PLC, the global sports-betting and gaming group, has today set out the comprehensive plan it is implementing to safely re-open its Ladbrokes and Coral betting shops. From 15 June, all 2,445 shops in England will open their doors, followed by the remainder of the Group’s c.3,000 shop estate, as the devolved administrations in the UK ease their own lockdowns.

The guiding principle behind the plan is to ensure the health and wellbeing of all colleagues and customers. The plan details the social distancing and safety procedures put in place alongside the provision of new protective equipment installed in store and provided to the shop personnel.  The new measures have been designed to meet or exceed guidelines laid down by the UK government and World Health Organisation.

The key elements are summarised below, with each element supported by detailed guidance and the provision of additional equipment and training where required:

  1. Pre shop-opening checks
  • Property maintenance checks.
  • Facilities, screens, bet stations, gaming machines and till systems cleaned.
  • Review of security hardware in shops.
  1. Tools to support social distancing
  • Installation of additional equipment including ‘sneeze screens’, protective barriers between gaming machines and bet stations to act as a physical barrier between colleagues and customers to ensure social distancing.
  • Installation of customer signage and floor markings to provide direction on social distancing whilst in shop.
  • Compulsory social distancing training module for all colleagues.
  1. Health and safety provisions
  • Supply of stylus pens for customers using bet stations and gaming machines, to avoid customers physically touching screens.
  • Provision of additional hand sanitiser stations, hand wash and cleaning products to promote and maintain good hygiene standards.
  • Provision of colleague comfort measures such as face masks, protective shields and disposable gloves.
  • Introduction of enhanced colleague cleaning routines in both the customer and colleague areas.
  1. Shop operation guidance
  • Clear guidance on maximum customer occupancy levels, based on size and layout of each shop, to support social distancing.
  • Guidance on customer entry/exit management procedures.
  • Guidance on bet placement and payment processes, with use of contactless payment encouraged.
  1. Colleague wellbeing
  • Installation of dividing partitions between till positions to act as a physical barrier between colleagues and ensure social distancing.
  • Restrictions on transfer of personnel between multiple shops to reduce exposure.
  • Provision of a third-party app “Unmind” to promote mental wellbeing.
  • Supply of video and printed training materials.
  • Employee Assistance Programme made available to all colleagues and their families.
  • Open and honest communication channels with all colleagues.
  1. Safer gambling
  • Increased monitoring of customer behaviour and wellbeing, to identify potentially vulnerable customers and ensure they are playing within their financial means.
  • Guidance on interactions with vulnerable customers whilst social distancing
  • Review of self-exclusion lists.

Commenting on the plan GVC CEO Kenny Alexander said:

“We are very pleased to be re-opening our shops in England as the UK begins the first steps in returning to some form of normality. Ever since the lockdown was introduced, we have been working tirelessly on a plan which will deliver the safest possible environment for both our customers and our people. I am confident we have achieved that and look forward to welcoming our customers back in the near future.”

Michael Dugher, Chief Executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, said:

“I’m delighted that GVC, home of some of the world class brands in betting, will be able to re-open their English betting shops safely from 15 June. GVC make a significant contribution to the economy, supporting good jobs in communities across the country, and it’s great to see at first hand their commitment to ensuring that their reopened shops will provide a safe and enjoyable environment for staff and customers alike”.

Meridianbet, a member of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), in partnership with Meridianbet Foundation, Expanse Studios, and BC Crvena zvezda Meridianbet announces the launch of a significant humanitarian initiative, ‘Scan. Help.’, aimed at supporting maternity hospitals across Southeast Europe.

The rollout of this action to other market territories is expected in the remainder of 2024.

How It Works

For every scanned QR code and subsequent registration on the Meridian Foundation’s website, funds will be allocated towards equipping five maternity hospitals in Serbia. This innovative approach not only raises awareness but also actively involves the community in our CSR activities.

The initiative is currently ongoing with high media presence and is broadcasted during Southeast Europe’s regional basketball Finals series (ABA League). BC Red Star players wear jerseys featuring the QR code, with additional promotion through basketball arena ads, TV ads, and more, encouraging fans and supporters to participate.

A Unified Effort for Community Impact

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign is a collaborative effort involving Meridianbet, Meridianbet foundation, Expanse Studios, and basketball club Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Southeast Europe’s leading basketball club, of which Meridianbet is the name sponsor. The initiative is designed to leverage our collective resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on local communities.

Multi-Stakeholder Support and Growing Participation

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign has received institutional support ad backing from the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the importance and legitimacy of this cause. Additionally, several companies have already expressed their desire to contribute, with provisions made for donations through the Meridian Foundation’s account. This broadening support network amplifies the initiative’s reach and potential impact.

This campaign exemplifies Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainable development and community well-being. In 2023 alone, the company has launched 225 CSR campaigns, reflecting the commitment to making a lasting impact.
