The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI) welcomes the launch of the Gameplan (www.thegameplanhub.ie), a new initiative designed to tackle gambling-related harm in sport.
The initiative, which is supported by the Gambling Awareness Trust, offers practical tools for athletes, coaches and clubs to navigate the risks of modern gambling.
Speaking of the launch of thegameplanhub.ie, Anne Marie Caulfield Chief Executive of the GRAI said:
“The GRAI welcomes this initiative as a timely and necessary contribution to reducing gambling‑related harm within Irish sport. Protecting the integrity of sport and safeguarding the wellbeing of athletes, particularly young people, are central aspects of the GRAI’s mandate.
Peer‑driven education, informed by lived experience, is a vital component in helping clubs and sporting organisations identify the warning signs of problem gambling and support members who need help with their gambling. The GRAI commends all partners involved in developing this programme; it is a valuable complement to the wider regulatory framework that will ensure a safer and more accountable gambling environment in Ireland.”
