The Responsible Gambling Trust has confirmed that it will be taking a high profile presence at February’s ICE exhibition in London between February 2-4.
The organization will be using ICE to publish its annual report, raise the profile of its GambleAware brand and showcase the research, harm prevention and treatment work that has been commissioned thanks to voluntary donations from the gambling industry.
“As the world’s leading gaming exhibition, ICE represents an invaluable opportunity for RGT to continue to raise the profile of its work,” said Marc Etches, chief executive of RGT, this week.
“We will also be explaining the ambitious programme which we are planning to undertake over the next three years and using this forum to remind a significant number of industry players of the necessity of contributing to the charity to support this work.
“RGT asks that the industry contributes 0.1 percent of Gross Gambling Yield. The latest Gambling Commission statistics show this should amount to around GBP 9 million per annum and RGT currently expects to receive in the region of GBP 6.3 million in this financial year (excluding the National Lottery).”
