GAMSTOP joins university tour to provide help to students affected by gambling
GAMSTOP and other organisations working to reduce gambling-related harms have launched a UK-wide university tour to promote the available support for students.
‘The Gambling Support University Tour’ is a joint venture by GAMSTOP, the national online self-exclusion scheme; YGAM, an award-winning education charity and RecoverMe, a mobile health application which helps anyone suffering from a gambling addiction.
Together, they have been visiting dozens of universities to speak to students and university staff about the issue of gambling-related harms and the training and support services they provide, distributing leaflets and dealing with inquiries. They have found there is strong interest in the issue, with many students visiting the stall and engaging in conversations about either their own or loved one’s gambling.
YGAM is providing free harm prevention training to university staff, student union officers and safeguarding leads to help them to identify signs of gambling-related harms and signpost students who may be struggling. The charity is also promoting their Student Hub website which provides students with a wide range of information, advice and guidance on the topic.
Higher education institutions and colleges which have taken part in the roadshow include Worcester, Central Lancashire, Northumbria, Bournemouth, Sheffield, Lincoln and Stoke-on-Trent, with a further 18 in Scotland visited by the Scottish Gambling Education Network in a similar initiative.
Earlier this year, a Censuswide survey of 2,000 students across the UK commissioned by GAMSTOP and YGAM found that 80% of them had gambled and 41% of this group admitted that gambling had a negative impact on their university experience, including missing lectures, assignment deadlines and social activities.
More than one third (35%) were using money either from their student loan, overdraft, had borrowed from friends or were taking out payday loans to help fund their gambling. Nearly one in five (19%) admitted to using their student loan to gamble.
The mean gambling spend for students was £31.52 per week and almost one in five (18%) admitted to spending more than £50 per week. Nearly four in ten (38%) said they gambled at least once a week, with 63% gambling at least once a month.
GAMSTOP and YGAM are planning to commission new research for the 2022-3 academic year to continue monitoring the issue and to inform future initiatives.
Fiona Palmer, CEO of GAMSTOP, said:
“The Gambling Support University Tour has been a great success and is an important initiative for all the organisations taking part. Gambling-related harm on our campuses is a subject that is rarely addressed, but for any students experiencing problems with their gambling, self-exclusion is one of the most important tools available, giving them valuable breathing space whilst they seek additional help”.
Daniel Bliss, Director of External Affairs at YGAM, said: “The popularity of the tour so far shows us that gambling harms is clearly an issue that universities are more conscious of. Universities offer support to their students on a variety of issues ranging from alcohol, drugs, and debt. We believe gambling should be given the same level of focus and this tour is helping to increase awareness and understanding.”

GR8 Tech will see a leadership transition on January 1, 2025, as Oleksandr Feshchenko, currently the Deputy CEO and CRO, will take over as the new CEO. Sergey Ghazaryan, formerly the Head of the Casino Business Unit, takes over as the CRO from December 1 of the current year. In the meantime, Evgen Belousov will be stepping away from GR8 Tech.
During his two-year tenure, Evgen Belousov has established GR8 Tech as a trusted provider of high-performance iGaming solutions. Over the past year alone, GR8 Tech achieved remarkable growth, expanding its client base eightfold and significantly increasing revenue.
GR8 Tech’s solutions support over 25 newly launched clients and nearly 50 live operator brands. The company’s continued success stems from its unique strategy of providing tailored, geo-specific solutions that directly address market demands. Unlike other platforms that offer one-size-fits-all approaches, GR8 Tech focuses on customizing its features specifically to meet the needs of each region and client.
Reflecting on his time as CEO, Belousov shared: “Leading GR8 Tech has been nothing short of transformative. We’ve redefined what success looks like in our industry, achieving remarkable milestones in only two years’ time. We’ve laid down a strong foundation, and now, it’s time for a bold new chapter. With our high-performance platform and a vision to dominate as the world’s #1 sportsbook-driven solution, I’m confident the new leadership will amplify this momentum and take GR8 Tech to unprecedented heights.” As Belousov shifts to being an independent iGaming advisor, he plans to focus on the strategic development of B2B iGaming projects.
The leadership transition aligns with the company’s two-year anniversary in January 2025 – a milestone GR8 Tech plans to celebrate with exciting future announcements.
