In the first quarter of 2022, Kindred’s share of revenue from harmful gambling decreased to 3.3 per cent. Increased focus on improving and optimising intervention measures has contributed to the decrease. Kindred also entered a collaboration with RecoverMe, an app supporting users regain control of their gambling habits.

In the first quarter of 2022, Kindred Group plc’s (Kindred) share of revenue from harmful gambling decreased to 3.3 (3.9) per cent. The positive trend has been impacted by seasonal changes, with the first quarter historically seeing lower shares of revenue from harmful gambling year on year, as well as an optimised process for manual interventions towards high-risk customers. This has resulted in fewer customers being re-detected following interventions, leading to a more sustainable gambling behaviour which is one of the ambitions outlined in the Group’s roadmap. Kindred also continues their more cautious approach to the younger demographic (age group 18 to 25), since this group is at higher risk to harmful gambling and more prone to addiction. The increased focus has resulted in a larger decrease in the percentage of harmful revenue from this demographic group.

During the quarter, Kindred has updated the improvement effect metric after interventions. Instead of only focusing on financial indicators, the metric now includes behavioural indicators, which is more aligned with Kindred’s detection system, PS-EDS.

“We started 2022 with a focus on targeted deliveries. Our team has specifically focused on optimising our manual interventions further, resulting in a higher percentage of customers showing healthier gambling behaviour after they have been detected and contacted by our responsible gambling team,” says Henrik Tjärnström, CEO of Kindred Group.

Kindred has also entered a collaboration with the team behind the RecoverMe app, which uses research-proven techniques to help users regain control of their gambling habits. Thanks to the collaboration, Kindred can offer the app to its customers for free, initially in the UK and the US.

“Only eight per cent of individuals with problem gambling seek help due to the stigma associated with the addiction, inaccessibility and lack of awareness of treatment options. RecoverMe’s partnership with Kindred is a vital lifeline in helping us provide care to those that need it most. We believe passionately that collaboration with organisations like Kindred will help us reach those that need support and historically have been individuals who are difficult to reach and access therapy,” says Tejus Patel, Junior Doctor at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and co-founder of RecoverMe.

“I am very proud that we have entered the collaboration with the team behind the RecoverMe app, ensuring we can offer this service for free to all our customers in the UK and the US. We are also sponsoring additional PhD programmes on addiction studies, enabling these students to study and work full-time in academia. Our focus right now is to continue to increase efficiency and speed in engaging with detected customers as early intervention is critical in preventing a harmful behaviour,” concludes Tjärnström.

Therefore, Kindred has set an ambition to reach zero per cent revenue from harmful gambling by 2023 and to report this metric on a quarterly basis. This is done to increase transparency, to support a fact-based dialogue about harmful gambling, and to raise awareness of the Group’s sustainability work.

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.”
