Swansea City Teams Up with The Big Step

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Swansea City football club has teamed up with gambling harm reduction charity The Big Step in a trailblazing new partnership.
The Big Step is a football-focused gambling education project and part of the Gambling with Lives charity.
The 18-month Gambling Harms Prevention programme will be delivered by Swans’ fan Nick Phillips, himself a recovering gambling addict.
In addition to the support of the club, the scheme has also been backed by the Swansea City Supporters Trust, Swansea City Community Trust and has been positively received by local MP Carolyn Harris.
“I would like to thank the club and the supporters trust in giving us the opportunity to talk about gambling and, in particular, the harms that are attached with it,” Nick said.
“As a lifelong fan of the club, I am excited about this education project and believe it will have a significant positive impact amongst the fans and the local community.”
James Grimes, senior programme manager at Gambling with Lives and Founder of The Big Step, added: “I am so proud to announce our partnership with Swansea City, whose community scheme is renowned for improving lives.
“As a recovering gambling addict, I am passionate about preventing young people going through the same thing that I did. During 12 years of addiction, football failed to provide adequate warnings or the help that I so desperately needed.
“This partnership will show how football can be a positive social vehicle in preventing and reducing gambling harms in its community through our education, awareness and signposting work.”
Swansea City’s head of commercial, Rebecca Edwards-Symmons, said: “We are delighted to be able to lend our full support to the fine work of The Big Step.
“At Swansea City, our supporters and their welfare are at the centre of our values, so we were quick to pledge our backing to this project, which can help the lives of not just individuals, but their families and friends too.
“Aside from backing The Big Step, this season we have moved away from having a gambling company as our main kit sponsor, which allows our junior Jacks to proudly wear the same shirts as their heroes.
“These are the big steps we are making to help strengthen the battle against gambling addiction.”

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Blask, the market intelligence ecosystem for iGaming, has crossed the 100-country threshold with the addition of new Asian, Africa and European markets to its platform.
Blask now provides AI-driven, real-time analytics on more than half of the world’s nations, with an in-depth overview of the operator landscape provided in 107 countries, and game analytics in 17.
The latest markets added include Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, Qatar, Kuwait, Moldova, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Jordan, Madagascar, Chad, Somalia, Niger, South Sudan and Mauritania.
Max Tesla, CEO and co-founder of Blask, said: “When we launched Blask last year, we made a commitment to bring in-depth, real-time iGaming market intelligence to the whole world. We’re now more than half-way towards completing this mission. Every new market we add brings more clarity to an industry that has operated in the dark for far too long.”
Blask shines a light on the performance of brands and entire markets where data-led intelligence has previously been lacking.
This latest update shows that as the United Arab Emirates prepares to roll out a new regulatory framework for online gaming, more than 155 brands are already active in the country. The Blask Index, a measure of engagement and interest across all brands in the UAE, is up 36.14% year-on-year.
Meanwhile, the once thriving Ukraine iGaming market has seen a 49.11% YoY decline, with just 86 now active.
