Entain Foundation to fund Gordon Moody Alumni Project
The Entain Foundation, the non-profit organisation funded by Entain, the global sports betting, gaming, and interactive entertainment group, is pleased to announce that it has agreed to provide funding for the Alumni Project of Gordon Moody, a UK charity that delivers treatment for gambling addiction.
The Alumni Project is initially a two-year programme which will establish a network of former problem gamblers who have been successfully treated by Gordon Moody and now want to support others who may be seeking, or have recently finished, treatment with the charity. The project includes a peer mentor programme with high quality training and supervision capabilities that can be offered both before and after treatment takes place.
In addition, the programme will provide a number of flexible part-time and full-time paid positions for alumni. A steering group will also be established in order for the alumni to share experiences and help inform and improve the treatment programmes.
Entain has been proud to support Gordon Moody for over six years, both through financial donations as well as the provision of a range of other resources. This support has helped the development of Gordon Moody’s Gambling Therapy app, a women’s residential programme and COVID-19 pandemic services. The Group has also used its stores to signpost Gordon Moody’s treatment programmes.
The Alumni Project will cost approximately £740,000 over its first two years and is being funded entirely by the Entain Foundation. The project will formally commence in April and will be overseen by Gordon Moody’s Head of Service Development, Clinical Director and the members of its Clinical Governance Committee.
Barry Gibson, Chairman of Entain, said: “We have been proud and active supporters of Gordon Moody for a number of years now, and are delighted to continue that support with the funding of the charity’s Alumni Project. This is in addition to the more than £40m we have voluntarily donated to GambleAware, who commission treatments for gambling addiction across England, Scotland and Wales, free at the point of delivery.
“Gordon Moody’s Alumni Project will be the first time that those who have completed their treatment will be able to support those seeking treatment. It will provide people who are most at risk from gambling harm with direct support from those who have been in their position and recovered.”
Matthew Hickey, CEO of Gordon Moody, said: “The Alumni Project will help Gordon Moody reach more people who need our support by putting the voice of lived experience at the heart of both our engagement and residential services. Support from the Entain Foundation is crucial to help Gordon Moody grow its services and meet the demands of those needing treatment and support. We are delighted to continue our work with Entain and for their ongoing support and financial donations.”
Push Gaming has entered the Bulgarian market thanks to an exclusive deal with Kaizen Gaming brand Betano, marking a milestone in its expansion in globally regulated markets.
For 12 weeks, tier-one operator Betano will have exclusive rights to Push Gaming’s portfolio in the country as it brings the studio’s hugely popular titles to Bulgaria for the first time.
Push’s extensive back catalogue of major hits, including Razor Shark, Razor Returns, Jammin’ Jars, Big Bamboo and Wild Swarm, are now ready to be enjoyed by players in Bulgaria, with more recent releases due to roll out imminently.
The launch enhances Push’s relationship with Kaizen Gaming, which has already seen success with its award-winning content in Greece, Denmark, and Brazil.
Agreements with over 15 direct integration partners have been achieved in 2024, and the supplier’s significant growth will be bolstered by several more announcements in the remainder of Q4.
Fiona Hickey, Chief Business Development Officer at Push Gaming, said: “Bulgaria is a territory we’ve been working on for some time, so it’s particularly pleasing to launch there with such an established and respected name as Betano.
“We know the strength of our product, and allied with Kaizen Gaming’s prominent positioning across regulated markets, we can make the most of our regional entries. They’re a fantastic strategic partner to work alongside, which breeds exceptional confidence that every launch period will perform strongly.”
Evangelos Dedoulis, Director of Product, Gaming and Rewards at Kaizen Gaming, added: “Push Gaming is responsible for some of the finest games on the market, and as such, we have been eagerly anticipating bringing them to our Betano platform in Bulgaria too. In other markets where we have integrated Push Gaming’s titles, the reception from our audience has been exceptional, and we expect the same in this case too.”
