SBC News Deborah Roll recognised for leading Responsible Gambling WeekAt the third annual Global Regulatory Awards, which took place on 1 May, Deborah Roll has been recognised for her commitment to Responsible Gambling week by being awarded the Compliance Outstanding Achievement award.

Roll, who currently holds a position of project manager at the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling (IGRG), spearheaded the 2018 Responsible Gambling Week. The campaign involved over 12,000 gambling venues and sites, 12,000 industry employees as well as resulting in over 20m social media impressions.

The campaign ensured that a safer gambling message was promoted to a wide audience, promoted by the participation of leading football clubs and racecourses.

Deborah Roll commented on the award: “I am honoured to have received this award, on behalf of everyone in the industry who worked so hard to make the 2018 campaign a success.

“The objective is to trigger a national conversation about responsible gambling and, with the support of the trade associations and operators, I have no doubt we will make the 2019 campaign even bigger and better.”
