The Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association (GBGA) has announced the launch of a new charity focused on minimising gambling harm and protecting at-risk consumers.

Funded by the GBGA, the new Gibraltar Gambling Care Foundation (GGCF) will work with consumers, gaming industry leaders and government regulators to reduce the impact of gambling disorders in the Gibraltar market.

The GGCF will be operated independently from the GBGA, with the support of councillors Stephen Reyes and Selvan Soobiah. Belvedere Trustees Limited will act as corporate councillor and initially fund research at the new Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming (CERG) at the University of Gibraltar.
