Praesepe make £84,000 pledge to GambleAware
Gauselmann Group owned Praesepe, which operates a total of 165 adult gaming centres, five family entertainment centres, and five bingo clubs in the UK, has pledged a total of £84,000 to GambleAware covering the first quarter of the gambling industry charity’s fiscal year ending 1 June.
The sum represents 10.2 percent of the £820,000 either received by or pledged to the charity over the period, courtesy of 144 donations of £50 or more with the majority of large sums coming from online gambling brands and derived from their much higher Gross Gaming Yield (GGY).
GambleAware, which requests enterprises that profit from gambling to donate a minimum 0.1percent of their GGY, received £10.1 million from the industry during the financial year ending 31 March 2020.
Commenting on the pledge, Praesepe chief operating officer, Mark Schertle, said: “Compliance and social responsibility are at the heart of everything that we do. There are a certain number of important social responsibility commitments that we undertake ourselves, including the on-going investment in our dedicated training facilities, the intensive SR training of our consumer facing staff, the deployment of the consumer-facing Playright app throughout all of our venues, the support of Responsible Gambling Week and the promotion of safer gambling messaging, utilising 4,000 of our estate of digital B3 and Category C machines.
“However, there are also areas that require highly specialist insight and experience which is why it is so important to contribute to research, education and treatment in order to help reduce further the 0.5 percent of adults who experience problems relating to gambling.”

SOFTSWISS Joins Pink October Movement
SOFTSWISS, a global tech company with over 15 years of expertise in iGaming, supports the global Pink October initiative to attract attention to preventing breast cancer.
This year’s Pink October campaign at SOFTSWISS is themed “A Minute Today, a Future Ahead” and emphasises the importance of early detection and preventative care. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and early diagnosis is key in the fight against the disease. When it is noticed early, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Early detection involves doing monthly breast self-exams and planning regular clinical breast exams and mammograms. Half of the 2,000 SOFTSWISS employees are women, and the company will refund each of them for ultrasounds and mammograms in October and November.
Pink October at SOFTSWISS offers a wide range of activities throughout the month. In addition to reimbursing for medical examinations, an online webinar on mental health will provide valuable insights for those who face the disease. To support the international charity movement “Butterfly Support Mission”, women from SOFTSWISS will take part in a themed race.
The company’s employees also personally support the initiative. To further raise awareness, prominent female influencers from the SOFTSWISS community share information about the campaign across social media, amplifying the message of self-care and vigilance.
“Health is a crucial value beyond everything. Here, at SOFTSWISS, we aim to help and support our employees’ well-being and health every day. By promoting the Pink October initiative, we want to stress the importance of well-timed self-care and make this issue visible both within the iGaming industry and beyond,” shares Chief Marketing Officer at SOFTSWISS, Valentina Bagniya.
Notably, the iGaming industry recognised SOFTSWISS’ strong dedication to ensuring the best working conditions for its employees. A few weeks ago, SOFTSWISS received the esteemed accolade “Employer of the Year” at the SBC Awards.
Supporting the Pink October initiative for the second year in a row, SOFTSWISS continues to lead by example, emphasising the importance of preventive health measures and community support. Through this initiative, the company hopes to inspire its employees and society to take action today for a healthier tomorrow.
