OHID reportedly tells funded charities to boycott Safer Gambling Week
OHID reportedly instructed charities it funds to boycott Safer Gambling Week 2026, according to leaked emails cited by an analysis on a UK gambling site. The Gambling Commission said it intends to support the 16–22 November initiative, creating a split between public bodies over messages about personal responsibility and gambling harms.
The divide could give operators and charities differing public-health guidance during the same responsible-gambling campaign.
