GambleAware responds to inaccurate and misleading claims

Following recent public inaccurate and misleading claims about GambleAware, Zoë Osmond, CEO, has said in response to these statements:
“Gambling harms have a devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities. As the leading independent charity dedicated to preventing and treating these harms in Great Britain, GambleAware’s foremost priority is to prevent harm and provide accessible support to those affected. These services are vital, remarkably effective, and readily accessible.
“Gambling operator funding remains the primary source of funding for prevention, treatment, and research into gambling harm. Many charities and organisations receive this funding through the Gambling Commission. We believe the gambling industry should be held accountable to contribute financially to the vital services that prevent gambling harms, which is why we have consistently advocated for a statutory levy.
“Our robust governance and commissioning practices ensure that the industry has no influence over our operations. GambleAware’s independence has been widely recognised by a range of stakeholders including the Government, as evidenced in the Gambling White Paper.
“The complaint lodged to the Charity Commission by The Good Law project is based on misleading and outdated information. While we are confident that this complaint will not be upheld, we are deeply concerned that inaccurate headlines and misleading newspaper articles may have a damaging impact on our services and the people that rely on them.
“The deeply stigmatised nature of gambling harms often makes it difficult for individuals to reach out for help. Maintaining the credibility and reputation of essential support services is crucial to reaching people before their gambling issues become catastrophic. Undermining these services, and the dedicated workers and experts who operate them, risks not only those directly relying on them but also the many indirectly affected by a loved one’s gambling problems.
“As gambling harms affect more people, it’s crucial for us all to come together to prevent and alleviate them. GambleAware remains focused on our mission to prevent gambling harms and provide vital support to those affected. We appreciate the continued trust and support from our stakeholders and the public, and we urge anyone experiencing harm to reach out. Help and support are available through the National Gambling Support Network and the National Gambling Helpline, offering free, confidential assistance 24/7 to those in need.”

ICONIC21 launches slot series starting with Stellar Fruits 40

Provider’s Stellar Fruits series promises classic slots but with modern gameplay, with a unifying theme that combines juicy fruits and cosmic energy
ICONIC21, the in-demand iGaming content provider, has launched the first title in what will be a flagship game series, Stellar Fruits.
The first game in the series is Stellar Fruits 40 and promises classic fruit action combined with cosmic energy for an out-of-this-world player experience.
Stellar Fruits 40 is all about timeless design colliding with bold and modern gameplay, with the slot set across five reels and four rows with 40 paylines active in the base game.
Players need to strap in and hold tight as the gameplay hits fast with plenty of big win potential on the cards with each spin.
Players watch as juicy symbols (think cherries, grapes, watermelons and more) land on the reels alongside stars and those all-important 7s.
The red hot 7 is Wild and fuels epic win combinations by replacing all other symbols except the golden Star scatter.
The golden Star scatter can land anywhere on the reels, and no matter where it lands, it pays big – the max win potential for Stellar Fruits 40 is 1,000x.
Stellar Fruits 40 hits the market on 29 April and will be followed by three other titles in the series – Stellar Fruits, Stellar Fruits 20 and Stellar Fruits 100.
The main difference between each game is the number of paylines, which vary from 5 all the way up to 100 and impact the max win hit frequency of each title.
Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “The Stellar Fruits series will deliver four iconic classic slot games to our operator partners and their players, starting with Stellar Fruits 40.
“This is a slot that combines the nostalgia of a traditional fruit machine with bold and striking design and modern gameplay that ramps up the anticipation with every spin.
“By launching a game series, we can offer our partners a unique run of proven content that players will instantly recognise each time a new title lands in their lobby, driving engagement.

Virtual sports and Casino content provider to leverage out-of-industry experience to fine-tune its messaging and grow its brand into new markets
Kiron Interactive, the award-winning provider of virtual sports and Next Gen Casino content, has appointed Patrick Eriksen as Head of Marketing.
Eriksen joins Kiron from Cloudsmiths, the provider of expert AI, data, cloud and CRM services.

As Head of Marketing at Kiron, he will be responsible for providing a fresh perspective on the provider’s core messaging and whether it’s telling the right story in the right way to the right audience.
He will focus mostly on Kiron’s suite of virtual sports and numbers games as well as its flagship crash game, Rodeo. Patrick will also be instrumental in building the provider’s presence in North America and Latin America.
