Microgaming salutes organisations like Gordon Moody, Betknowmore, Anonymind and Motiv8
Leading online gaming software provider Microgaming is rallying behind Safer Gambling Week (October 17 to 23).
The industry-led event aims to stimulate conversation around safer gambling, while driving awareness of tools and resources that are available to people who believe they may have a problem.
As a leading provider of online gambling platform software, Microgaming takes its responsibility to ensuring players have access to such resources very seriously.
Through its corporate responsibility arm PlayItForward, it backs several organisations and charities that provide support and assistance to people who have experienced gambling harm.
These include the Gordon Moody, the UK’s number-one charity dedicated to providing support and treatment for gambling addiction. The charity aims to help people reclaim and rebuild their lives through recovery in a safe, supported environment.
PlayItForward recently helped Gordon Moody to create a comfort fund for affected others, as well as donating towards the purchase of new furniture to help treat more people.
PlayItForward also recently donated to digital mental health treatment service Anonymind, funding treatment and therapy courses for individuals struggling with gambling addiction.
Meanwhile, a financial contribution to Betknowmore UK, a leading provider of gambling support and training services, helped the group undertake valuable new research into support systems for women. This has led to a new gender specific support service for women called New Beginnings.
PlayItForward has also helped to fund treatment and provide a comfort fund for service users of Motiv8, an Isle of Man based charity offering addiction counselling.
Andy Clucas, Microgaming CEO, said: “Responsible gaming has always been a key focus for Microgaming. Safer Gambling Week offers us the perfect chance to highlight Responsible Gaming charities who do amazing work in the field of problem gambling treatment and research. Importantly, people who may be struggling with gambling issues need to know there are lots of organisations who can offer support and help them regain control of their lives.”
Rob Mabbett, Director of External Engagement at Gordon Moody, said: “Having a family member in treatment for gambling addiction can add extra pressure to the lives of their families. PlayItForward donations from Microgaming help our Comfort Fund bring respite to our service users’ families. From days out for their children to birthday or Christmas cards or presents, the Comfort Fund assists families to find peace of mind while their loved ones access therapy for problem gambling.”
Andy Atha, COO, Anonymind, said: “The PlayItForward donation provided earlier this year has led to several individuals being provided with convenient, effective digital treatment directly from a psychologist at their time of need. Gambling harm affects people in many different ways mentally, physically and financially and without donations like this, we would not be able to continue offering the most effective treatment to those individuals who need urgent help.”
Matt Smith, Head of External Affairs Betknowmore UK, said “The collaboration with Microgaming PlayItForward has enabled us to undertake research which highlighted the challenges that face women who want to access help and support for their gambling issues. In response, we have launched a new service called New Beginnings, which is a peer-led support programme. We have found that when engaging in groups women generally find them to be life-changing, giving them confidence, friendships, role models and tools to help them manage their recoveries.”

Elantil sets new company record with super-fast AvatarUX integration
Pioneering platform solutions provider smashes previous personal best by adding award-winning slot developer to the Elantil Marketplace in well under two hours
They say lightning never strikes, but Elantil continues to prove this old adage wrong by completing even speedier integrations in its online marketplace – and this month’s addition of AvatarUX Studios has smashed the company’s previous record of two hours!
An award-winning slot developer famed for its visually-striking content and unique products, AvatarUX Studios is widely known in the iGaming industry for its innovative proprietary mechanics, including the popular PopWinsTM, as well as many other engaging features like ZapReelTM and Fortune Arrows.
Following this important strategic partnership, AvatarUX Studios’ acclaimed portfolio of content has now been added to Elantil’s Marketplace, giving the company’s customers an even wider range of gaming options to choose from – and all at cost-effective rates with terms they set themselves.
As Elantil merely facilitates the quick and easy pairing of operators with their preferred content suppliers, businesses are free to reach out to Marketplace partners directly and form their own agreements, with Elantil then wrapping things up by providing a hassle-free, one-click integration, with no revenue sharing.
In this way, operators can scale at pace and dynamically enhance the range of services they provide, while also staying in full control of their platforms and operating the way that works best for them.
John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “As speed is so often the name of the game in this industry, we’re incredibly proud to have smashed our personal best by integrating AvatarUX Studios in under two hours. With the developer’s acclaimed range of titles and award-winning mechanics now available to partners, they’ll be able to enjoy the full benefit even faster!”
Lara Falzon, CEO at AvatarUX Studios, said: “Having blazed a path in the industry with our proprietary mechanics and innovative features, we’re delighted to be able to offer our content to new operators via Elantil’s Marketplace – and the fact we completed our integration in a matter of hours shows just how quickly we’ll be able to transform their line-ups for the better.”
