Gambling isn’t a way to make money, and this #SGWeek, we’re joining industry peers in reminding everyone to play within their means. With #safergambling at the heart of our approach, we’ve designed tools to help customers manage their play if they need support. You’ll find these tools signposted online and in all our venues - let’s keep the fun in focus and play responsibly! #playerprotection #KeepItFun

At Rank, we’re always working to enhance safer gambling practices by using new technology - like our Hawkeye system - and increasing colleague awareness to better identify at-risk play. While most of our customers enjoy our offerings responsibly, a very small number may exhibit problem gambling behaviours, so it’s critical that we take every step to identify these individuals quickly and provide them with the support they need. With Safer Gambling Week just around the corner (18-24 November), we’ll be using every channel to raise awareness and promote safer gambling practices. #SGWeek24 #safergambling #KeepItFun

Let’s help Sam’s Superheroes reach their target! We wanted to take a moment to share an inspiring story about one of our very own colleagues, Rachel Liew, MSc, CMIIA, and her incredible efforts to raise funds in memory of her son, Sam, who tragically passed away from FIRES (Febrile Infection Related Epilepsy Syndrome) at just five years old. Sam’s mum, Rachel, has been tireless in her mission to support Great Ormond Street Hospital doctors and researchers, and fund research into this devastating syndrome through her charity, Sam’s Superheroes Foundation. In her latest challenge, Rachel completed Sam’s Big Scoot – a gruelling 50-mile scoot over three days. Her determination has already raised an amazing ￡17,860, and she’s pushing towards her goal of ￡50,000. We’d love to help her get there, and alongside the fundraising activities in Rank, we’re asking for your help too. Every donation, big or small, will go a long way in supporting vital research to find a cure for FIRES and help save other children’s lives. If you’d like to donate, please visit Sam’s fundraising page https://bit.ly/3YAXx2u Thank you for your support – together, we can help Sam’s Superheroes make a real difference!
