Casinos in the UK are to remain closed until at least August 15 after the government postponed the further easing of lockdown measures put in place due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Last month, the government said that it would allow more indoor venues including casinos, cinemas and bowling alleys to reopen from August 1 as part of its gradual easing of lockdown in the UK.

Casinos have been closed since 20 March and remained shuttered despite other land-based gambling outlets such as betting shops (15 June) and bingo halls (4 July) being allowed to welcome back customers.

However, the government has now delayed the planned relaxation of measures on larger indoor venues, with these now set to remain shut for at least another two weeks.

“We simply cannot take the risk; we will continue to study the data carefully and move forward with our intention to open up as soon as we can,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.

Michael Dugher, chief executive of the Betting and Gaming Council, hit out at the decision, saying there is “no evidence” to show that casinos are higher risk venues. He also blasted the decision to enforce the ongoing closures nationwide.

“What happened to the government’s local lockdown strategy,” Dugher said in a Twitter post. “Why should a casino business remain closed in Bristol in the south west, where Covid-19 is low, because there’s a spike in greater Manchester? Big threat to jobs.”

Fundación Flutter has been awarded Institution of the Year by the jury of the 7th International Responsible Gaming and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Awards, in recognition of its dedication to addressing social challenges, empowering communities and promoting sustainable development in Ceuta.

Launched in May 2024 by Flutter Entertainment, the Foundation is a non-profit organisation which was established in a short period of time as a key player in the field of sustainability.

The award recognises the foundation’s implementation of its STEM Scholarship Programme – including the allocation of €80,000 in scholarships for studies in these areas – in collaboration with the regional Department of Education.

Also key to winning this award was the promotion of a pioneering oncology nutrition service in partnership with the AECC Ceuta (Spanish Association of Cancer Patients) and a donation to the Ceuta Food Bank, intended for the completion of a new logistics warehouse that will expand its distribution capacity by 25% and serve more than 1200 families per month.

In the field of sports, the Foundation supports the “Flutter x el deporte” programme which provides direct support to sports projects that promote social inclusion, equality and grassroots sports, including adapted sports.

This Institution of the Year award recognises not only the intensity and effectiveness of the initiatives carried out in 2024 and 2025, but also the Foundation’s long-term vision, aligned with the Do More pillar of Flutter Entertainment’s Positive Impact Plan, which aims to benefit 10 million people by 2030.

Jacqueline Mecinas, President of the Jury at the International Responsible Gaming and CSR Award, said: “We are delighted to award the Flutter Foundation the Institution of the Year award. In just over a year, it has demonstrated how corporate commitment can translate into tangible and sustainable change for thousands of people. Flutter’s work in Ceuta, from STEM scholarships to combating food insecurity, exemplifies a bold, inclusive vision of corporate social responsibility focused on education, health, nutrition, and sports with a strong commitment to equality and social justice.

“It is a true honor to recognize Flutter with this award in an edition that reaffirms that responsible gaming is not only measured by prevention, but also by contributing to the common good.”

Esther Martín-Ortega, Head of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Spain & Other Countries at Flutter International, said: “This award is a testament to the power of collaboration and commitment. We are incredibly proud to be recognized for the positive impact of our CSR initiatives in Ceuta and Spain, as a whole. This inspires us to continue empowering communities and work towards a more sustainable future.”
