Bacta, the trade association which represents the amusement and gaming machine industry in the UK, has reiterated its commitment to raising standards by enabling access to the Safer Gambling Training programme through the bactaPortal.

Safer Gambling Training, developed and delivered by leading charities YGAM and Betknowmore UK, combines specialist knowledge, insight and research to raise standards in player protection. Informed by lived experience and relevant to the latest LCCP requirements, the initiative contains six programmes including key areas such as: understanding customer vulnerability; managing welfare; how to interact with customers and signposting to support services.’ The training will now be accessible via the new bactaPortal which went live in September 2021.

The bactaPortal allows gambling venues to maintain paperless records of all their customer interactions and self-exclusions, as well as hosting training modules and other valuable information. It is available to everyone, although bacta members benefit from a subsidised price.

John White, Chief Executive at bacta welcomed the announcement by saying: “YGAM and Betknowmore UK are renowned for their safer gambling training and we are proud that they have chosen to make it available via the bactaPortal.  This initiative is the first of many that will make the bactaPortal indispensable to arcade businesses looking to remove paper from their operations.  Not only will we populate the bactaPortal with additional training we will be providing a suite of tools from AV testing logs to crime alerts that will put the bactaPortal at the top of the must haves for the sector.”

The Safer Gambling Team will be attending the upcoming EAG conference in London to showcase their programme and talk to delegates about how they can access the training through the portal.

Ian Shanahan, Director of Business Development and Fundraising at YGAM, said: “We’re delighted with this commitment from bacta. It is encouraging to see an influential trade association support our work and I hope more sectors within the gambling industry continue to invest in our City & Guilds Assured Safer Gambling Training. All profits generated from our training are directed back into our charities to further support our social purpose.”

Frankie Graham, Chief Executive at Betknowmore UK, said: “We are delighted to see bacta support the Safer Gambling Training programme. Sector wide commitment to raising standards through training and enhanced learning is our best guard in the prevention of gambling harms.”

Since launching in April 2021, the charities have sold over 14,500 programmes. The bactaPortal training can be completed online, with each programme taking around 60-minutes to complete. The training can be easily accessed on PC, laptop, tablet or mobile at a time that suits the learner.

Parimatch are promising to help Leeds United fans enjoy an “unforgettable” season as part of their official partnership with the Premier League club.

The UK-licensed sportsbook are the Whites’ official betting partner for the 2025-26 season and are preparing a series of fan-first activities throughout the campaign.

Leeds are back in the top flight after winning promotion with the Championship title last season.

And first up from Parimatch is a ticket giveaway ahead of the first home game of the season – Monday night’s clash with Everton at Elland Road – in a competition in partnership with local media.

Parimatch will continue to offer Leeds fans exclusive opportunities throughout the season, including the chance to win signed memorabilia, unforgettable matchday experiences and the chance to meet Leeds legends.

Adam Davenport, Head of Parimatch UK, said: “For us, it’s never just about a logo on a shirt – it’s about giving Leeds fans memories they’ll talk about for years. We want to be right there in the thick of it, celebrating the big wins, feeling every kick on those tense nights under the Elland Road lights, and sharing in the roar when the ball hits the back of the net. This partnership is about passion, pride and unforgettable fan experiences – from giving away tickets to the biggest matches, to putting signed shirts straight into the hands of supporters, to creating moments with Leeds legends that money simply can’t buy. We know how much this club means to the city and we’re here to make this season one to remember on and off the pitch for every Leeds United fan.”
