Week-long safe gambling campaign by National Betting Authority

The National Betting Authority announced on Wednesday a week-long campaign for safe gambling with the logo ‘Safety is the true hero in every game.’

Set to take place between October 7-13, the public will be briefed on the harmful consequences of gambling, and the ways in which a gambler can seek help and treatment if they feel their gambling is getting out of hand.

A series of activities such as presentations, educational seminars, hands-on workshops and interactive games will take place to inform the public about ways in which they can keep their involvement with gambling safe.

Chairwoman of the betting authority Ioanna Fiakkou said she was satisfied with the increased public participation every year in the activities.

“Through information, we aim to prevent harmful consequences and create a protective environment for players and society.”
