Palace back Responsible Gambling Week, promoting essential gambling messages

Crystal Palace FC has signed up to support Responsible Gambling Week 2019, a public awareness campaign to trigger a national conversation about responsible gambling.

Responsible Gambling Week 2019 begins today (November 7th) and is part of the industry’s year-round commitment to promote safer gambling. More than 120,000 staff at thousands of gambling venues and online sites are taking part, and this marks the second consecutive year that clubs from the Premier League like Crystal Palace are participating in its promotion.

The campaign aims to highlight five essential recommendations to supporters when they gamble:

  • Only spend what you can afford
  • Set your limits for time and money
  • Gambling is not the answer to any problem
  • Gambling when angry or upset is not a good idea
  • Gambling shouldn’t interfere with your personal relationships

The campaign is led by the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling, comprised of all the gambling trade associations, and in Ireland by the Irish Bookmakers Association.
