Safer Gambling Week is a cross-industry initiative to promote safer gambling in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Taking place from 18th – 24th November 2024, the event is organized by the Betting and Gaming Council, Bacta, the Lotteries Council and the Bingo Association. It highlights the safeguards put in place by the regulated industry - in stark contrast to the unlicensed black market.

The week will see a blitz of safer gambling messages online and in land-based venues to spark a nationwide conversation about responsible gambling.

The new Safer Gambling Week website encourages people to talk and take action to bet responsibly. It poses a series of questions to consider and outlines how to use safer gambling tools such as setting time and deposit limits and how to self-exclude from gambling.
