Colossus Bets Launches “Conscious Colossus” Charity Initiative

Colossus Bets, the supplier of global sports jackpots, has launched “Conscious Colossus” charity scheme to support charitable organisations and initiatives.

The first three nominated charities are Alive and Kicking, the Greyhound Trust and YGAM. Conscious Colossus commits to support these charities with funding, as well as with raising awareness for their objectives through Colossus’ own media channels.

“As a company, we are fortunate to provide an inherently responsible product with a low impact ethos designed to minimise problem gambling. But for a while, we’ve also talked about taking a stance on what it means to be a responsible company in a far broader sense and this is how Conscious Colossus came to be. The scheme is about engaging with causes that are close to our hearts as citizens and humans, not just providers of a gambling product, and we are really excited to start this journey with 3 amazing charities that have impressed us with their spirit and impact,” Eva Karagianni-Goel, CCO of Colossus Bets said.

“YGAM was founded in 2014 to address the gap in education around gambling. Our workshops and awareness programmes provide the tools and resources to help young and vulnerable people make informed choices around gambling, gaming and their potential risks. Partnerships like the one with Conscious Colossus help us to expand our services and we hope that it will inspire more companies to support our work,” Lesley Blackband, Head of Partnerships at YGAM said.
