IGRG will be responsible for organising things in the UK while the <strong>Irish Bookmakers Association<\/strong> will handle things in Northern Ireland.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 120,000 individuals who work in the gambling industry across the UK and Ireland will take part in RGW. The 2019 RGW is expected to be the biggest initiative so far as an emphasis is placed on not just promoting responsible gambling initiatives for a week but throughout the year. The RGW initiative is also being backed by pubs across Ireland and the UK along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/slots\">slot machine operators<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Responsible Gambling Week <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LibzsCdRTck?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the focus will be on discussing safe gambling processes, new technology that can protect problem gamblers, providing more help to gambling addictions and educating both players and operators on recognizing early signs of gambling addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Problem gambling has turned out to be a major concern over the last few years for both England and Ireland as stats show an increase in gambling addiction in both adults and minors. The <strong>UK Gambling Commission<\/strong> (UKGC) has taken quite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/news\/gamstop-set-to-be-uks-official-self-exclusion-tool\/\">a few steps in the last 24 months to curb problem gambling<\/a> in the country but Ireland hasn\u2019t done much in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tagline for RGW will be \u2018<em>Let\u2019s talk about safer gambling<\/em>\u2019 and will not just be directed at players but also staff that work in the gambling industry. The UKGC believes that it should also be the responsibility of staff who work in the gambling industry to better serve and protect the customers. They will be trained not only how to spot signs of problem gambling but also how to approach and deal with such customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>National Gambling Helpline Works 24 Hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>National Gambling Helpline<\/strong> is one of the ways in which problem gamblers can get help.
