The latest installment of the program, which is organized by three UK gambling associations, BACTA, the Bingo Association, and the BGC, is in its 7th year, having highlighted the importance of responsible gambling in the United Kingdom for quite a few years. The initiative will continue building upon its accomplishments from past years, aiming to further expand its impact.

Moreover, more than 60% of those accounts set limits for the first time, further solidifying the week’s success.
