At Southampton Football Club, we’re committed to promoting safe betting, so we’ve teamed up with Main Club Partner Sportsbet.io to support this year’s Safer Gambling Week, in order to raise awareness of how to bet more safely.
Safer Gambling Week, from 19th-25th November, is a campaign led by the betting industry to promote tools that are available to help people bet safely all year round, as well as providing resources for more advice and support.
As part of the Southampton’s commitment to promoting safe betting, the club has teamed up with Main Club Partner Sportsbet.io to launch ‘Listen to the Saint in you’, encouraging fans to consider the risks before placing a bet.
You can get further advice on how to manage betting behaviour by visiting our Safer Gambling Week hub, with information on how you can identify problem betting and where to seek help.
Fans can also get support from RecoverMe, a new mobile health app that empowers individuals to manage a gambling addiction from their pocket, which can be downloaded here.
RecoverMe’s app gives support for problem gamblers, encouraging them to seek help by providing a discrete option for support, with an aim to prevent betting related harm nationwide.
The club supported the launch for RecoverMe as part of the club’s ongoing commitment to promote safe betting, building strong relationships with organisations positioned at the forefront of aiding those struggling with gambling addiction, to help enhance and refine our own practices.
At Southampton, we recognise that betting can form part of a fan’s enjoyment of football, but we also believe that we have a responsibility to raise awareness of the support available for those that might need it, both on matchdays and non-matchdays.
