QPR partner with GAMSTOP
QPR is delighted to announce a partnership with GAMSTOP - the free, independent service that enables people to exclude themselves from all UK-based online gambling websites.
The partnership will see QPR raise awareness of the tools and resources available to those who wish to self-exclude from online gambling in a variety of ways, including:
- Dedicating matchday and programme advertising space to GAMSTOP
- Sharing GAMSTOP animations and information across club social channels and the club website
- Club and QPR in the Community staff being given training on the GAMSTOP platform, and other gambling resources
More than 240,000 people from across the UK are registered with GAMSTOP, which also works closely with gambling charities.
Those who register with GAMSTOP can select a self-exclusion period of six months, one year, or five years. Anybody who contacts the service is referred to specialist advisors if they, or a loved one, need additional help and support with gambling-related issues.
This partnership underlines QPR’s commitment to promoting safe gambling practices. The club has also taken part in Safer Gambling Week in recent years.
Euan Inglis, QPR’s commercial director, said: “We are delighted to enter into a partnership with GAMSTOP - the free, UK-wide self-exclusion scheme that enables gamblers to put blocks in place to restrict their online gambling activities.
“Our current betting partner Tebwin are fully integrated with GAMSTOP and will work with the club with this initiative. We are very mindful of getting the message across about responsible gambling.”
Fiona Palmer, chief executive of GAMSTOP, said: “QPR have been incredibly proactive in launching this partnership with GAMSTOP, and we are delighted that the club will be using its extensive platform to raise awareness of the tools that are available to those who may be experiencing gambling-related harm.
“We are proud to be partnered with QPR, and firmly believe that by working together to highlight the crucial resources that are available, we can make a positive impact on people’s lives.”
