2018/19 Supporters

In order to be transparent in the context of the current voluntary funding arrangements, and as established in our Donation FAQs, GambleAware publishes details of donations and pledges received from those that derive an income from gambling in Britain.

The RGSB estimates that GambleAware requires a minimum of £10 million in voluntary donations in 2018/19 to deliver its current responsibilities under the National Responsible Gambling Strategy. In order to raise this amount, we ask all those who profit from gambling in Britain to donate annually a minimum of 0.1% of their annual Gross Gambling Yield (GGY) directly to GambleAware. We ask those with an annual gross gambling revenue of less than £250,000 per annum to donate a minimum of £250. (Information on how to calculate the recommended annual contribution to GambleAware can be found here).

Total amount of money pledged and received by GambleAware as voluntary donations from the gambling industry (excluding regulatory settlements) in Quarter 1, 2 and 3 (April to December 2018): £7.8M.
Please see below a list of those that donated or formally pledged* their support to GambleAware by 31 December 2018.

On behalf of all those that benefit from their funding, we would like to thank our supporters once again for their much-valued support.

* All those who profit from gambling in Britain can formally pledge to GambleAware by completing, signing and returning our 2019/20 donation form. Please note that in addition to the pledges formally received, a number of operators have kindly confirmed in writing their intention to support GambleAware in 2018/19 and will confirm the quantum of their donations in the coming months.

Please note that:

• Only donations and pledges for 2018/19 received up to 31 December 2018 are published above. Any donation or pledge received after this date will be published when we next update this section in April 2019.
• Only donations and pledges made directly to GambleAware are published above. Operators may choose to donate to other RET organisations or initiatives instead of, or in addition to, GambleAware - these contributions are not reflected on our website or financial accounts.
• Donations to GambleAware for the 2018/19 period can be made between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2019. Organisations not listed above may intend to donate to GambleAware in 2018/19 at a later stage in this financial period.
• Donations from individuals and organisations who do not derive an income from gambling are seldom received by GambleAware. These donations, which amounted to £5k in Q1, 2 and 3 (April - December 2018), are not included above.
• ‘Additional’ donations from organisations that derive an income from gambling are seldom received by GambleAware – often these represent the donations of unclaimed winnings, dormant accounts or similar.  These donations, which amounted to £150k in Q1, 2 and 3 (April - December 2018), are not included above.
• Over the course of this year we will ask all supporters to ‘self-certify’ the proportion of GGY their donation to GambleAware represents. Donors who provide assurance that this is at least 0.1% of their GGY will be acknowledged on this site by 30 April 2019. Please note that self-certification is not compulsory, and donations are accepted from organisations that choose not to certify that they are donating the recommended contribution to GambleAware.

If you have donated or formally pledged to GambleAware for the 2018/19 period between 1 April and 31 December 2018 and have not been listed above, please send an email to fundraising@gambleaware.org or call 020 7287 1994. For further information on how your company can champion the work of GambleAware, please do not hesitate to contact us.
