Entain Foundation Extends Support for Grassroots Sports to Italy
The Entain Foundation, the non-profit organisation funded by Entain, is for the first time extending its support for community sports projects to Italy – where Entain operates through the Eurobet, bwin and Gioco Digitale brands.
The Entain Foundation has partnered with Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus to support underprivileged young people and their families in cities and towns across Italy, through the provision of community sports and tutoring.
The investment by the Entain Foundation will go directly into Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus’ intervention programme. As well as free access to 30 different sport disciplines, the program provides beneficiaries with school and tutoring services, counselling, health education and medical support, and support specifically for parents.
The investment is in line with the Foundation’s goals to invest in sports at the grassroots level. Entain, through the Foundation, already supports community sports initiatives in the UK, through its SportsAid partnership and Pitching In programme; Greece, through Team Forward, an Olympic-focused program to fund athletes, and further projects in Germany and Colombia.
Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus, established in Italy in 2009, is a non-profit organization. Its mission centres around sport being accessible to all and used as an effective tool for education, conflict prevention, inclusion, and social cohesion. The organization designs and organises free sport plans for children and teenagers from families across Italy at risk of exclusion, and who are experiencing economic hardship and social fragility. These plans are monitored by qualified staff and organised in co-operation with a Solidarity Network of over 180 sport associations.
The project, which will run throughout 2022, aims to reach a total of 400 direct beneficiaries in Naples, Rome, Milan, Turin, Bergamo and Trento.
“We have a fantastic partner in Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus, and through this collaboration, we will put our best efforts into transforming the lives of hundreds of disadvantaged children and teenagers across Italy – through which free access to sport and education is key. We hope to help grow the organization’s intervention program in years to come and make a real change to the lives of the program’s beneficiaries – setting them up for a brighter future,” Andrea Faelli, Managing Director of Eurobet, said.
In addition, the Foundation will also support Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus on a separate, second initiative, which will involve Entain employees working for its Eurobet brands in Italy. Called Wellbeing for Good, this is a six-month project starting next month which seeks to promote the wellbeing of Eurobet employees through sports activities, social inclusion projects and team building activities, and to encourage them to volunteer to support Sport Senza Frontiere Onlus activities.

Allwyn’s Local Retail Champions Completed First Stage of Their Social Value Store Makeover

National Lottery operator, Allwyn’s, 2024 Local Retail Champions, Natalie and Martin Lightfoot – who own Londis Solo Convenience in Glasgow – have completed the first stage of their Social Value store makeover by installing new colleague headsets to help with security at the store.
The husband-and-wife shopkeepers were awarded £5000 cash and a Social Value store makeover worth up to £20,000 when they were crowned National Winners at Allwyn’s first ever Local Retail Champions awards in December. They had been nominated for the award by their customers for a host of community-focused work, such as organising charity fundraising events and local litter-picking activities, as well as providing a home delivery service for those in need.
Natalie and Martin have beallgun the Social Value store makeover work – which will take a number of months to complete – by installing six new colleague headsets to improve security at the store. The headsets enhance communication between store staff, increasing safety for both customers and staff and enabling colleagues to respond quickly to assistance requests.
The next stage of the store makeover activity will see the installation of new CCTV equipment, replacing the current 15-year-old system. As well as protecting the store, the CCTV currently helps keeps the community safer, with cameras located outside of the store successfully having been used in the past to help with investigations.
The final stage of the makeover will include installation of retail AI technology, with initial plans for this currently being looked at by Natalie and Martin.
Natalie said: “We’re really grateful to Allwyn for what the Local Retail Champions store makeover money is helping us do with security in the store. The headsets have been a godsend. The store has thick walls, making it difficult to hear each other in different areas of the shop, so the headsets allow us all to communicate and respond to things quickly as a team. We’re also in the process of getting new CCTV installed which will provide clearer pictures as the current system is quite pixelated and very dated. We wouldn’t have been able to get any of this new equipment without the Local Retail Champions makeover money, not for a long while anyway.”
Allwyn’s Director of Commercial Partnerships and Retail Sales, Alison Acquaye-Acford said: “We know Natalie is passionate about store security for retailers and has spoken publicly about the subject in the past, so we’re really happy we’ve been able to support her own store’s security needs with the store makeover. And she and her husband are absolutely deserving of the prize – they are a shining example of retailers who go above and beyond for their local community, which is precisely why they were crowned one of our two National Winners at Allwyn’s 2024 Local Retail Champions awards. We’re looking forward to hearing about how the project progresses further.”
The Local Retail Champions initiative is paid for with money from Allwyn’s dedicated Social Value Fund, which is an annual £1 million that the company has committed to using to support operating The National Lottery in an environmentally and socially responsible way. Last year, Allwyn used a portion of the fund to reward and recognise the important role its retail partners play in every community across the UK and Isle of Man – and arrangements for this year’s programme will become available over the coming months.

Bank of Ireland Introduces Voluntary Gambling Blocks

Bank of Ireland has introduced voluntary blocks on debit cards for customers who want to stop transacting with gambling operators. An analysis of the Bank’s Q1 card spending data revealed that 90% of gambling transactions took place online, with 99% funded via debit cards.
While total Q1 card spending on gambling fell slightly (-2%) year on year, there was a large increase (+19%) amongst 18 to 25 year olds, with a decline of 8% amongst over-65s. 71% of bets placed in Q1 2025 were placed by men, with betting activity rising the most in counties Wicklow (+37%), Kilkenny (+24%), Limerick (+20%) and Laois (+17%) as popular sporting events such as the Cheltenham Festival and the Six Nations took place.
The new card-blocking feature, which also blocks access to online casinos, slot machines and lottery websites can be put in place following a customer request. It stops any payments identified as being made to a gambling operator, improving the financial wellbeing of customers, with problem gambling impacting relationships, finances and mental health.
The block can be requested for both personal and business debit cards and will be extended to include credit cards in the coming months.
Áine McCleary, Chief Customer Officer of Bank of Ireland, said: “Problem gambling can have a devastating effect not just on the person involved, but also on families, friends and loved ones. For those with a gambling addiction it can often seem like help is out of reach. This initiative we are launching is designed to help customers take positive steps to improve control over their finances. It also furthers Bank of Ireland’s ambition to improve the financial wellbeing of our customers and communities, especially those going through difficult times.”
Oisín McConville of GamblingCare.ie said: “Measures such as this are very welcome, as we can see from the latest gambling spend insights that betting amongst younger people is on the rise. In order to combat the scourge of problem gambling, a wide range of supports are essential to prevent the issue becoming overwhelming for those impacted. The introduction by Bank of Ireland of gambling blocks is another step in the right direction and will further safeguard their customers.”
