Our Country Manager, Anders Falk, was recently featured on Ekonomibyrån, a podcast-style TV program in Sweden. During the discussion, Anders and other prominent guests explored the Swedish gambling market after the 2019 re-regulation. Since then, licensed operators have been required to follow a strict duty of care to help protect customers from gambling harm. However, the unlicensed market is growing, and channelisation levels in Sweden are decreasing. According to the treatment organisation Spelfriheten 8 out of 10 customers who contact them are blocked from licensed operators through the national exclusion system, Spelpaus. In the episode, Anders highlighted that, through our partnership with Swedish Elite Football, we educate players across all 32 clubs to raise awareness about problem gambling and match-fixing. Collaboration and increased awareness among all stakeholders have been identified as key factors in reducing gambling harm.

Last week, Team Kindred laced up for the annual Convinistafetten relay race in Stockholm, which marks the start of autumn for many. 🏃♀️🏃♂️ From running and walking the relay to enjoying a post-race picnic in the green park area, it was a great afternoon of togetherness and fun. Even the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits, but our tent with its own WC certainly helped! 😄 #KindredGroup #Convinistafetten #TeamBuilding

This year marked the third time Kindred has proudly supported the Gotcha4Life Cup, and it was our most successful event yet.

Among them were Unibet’s very own ambassadors. Our volunteers went above and beyond this year, with special recognition to Shilo Harvey who recently started in our Sportsbook Planning team; Shilo managed to raise $1,400 single-handedly! “With this success, we are now aiming to surpass the million-dollar mark in total funds raised as we enter our fourth year of support,” says Nathan Reeves, Kindred's General Manager in Australia.

The “Champions: Full Gallop" docuseries is a gripping must-watch, offering unmatched access to the thrilling world of horse racing. Broadcast on primetime ITV1, it is set to captivate millions of viewers. The series follows some of the biggest names in horse racing during the 2023/24 jumps season, featuring Unibet-sponsored ambassadors Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville prominently throughout. “It is my hope that Unibet can be rightly viewed as a great friend and supporter of jumps racing. But more than this, the simple fact that racing has such an excellent opportunity to demonstrate what an incredibly competitive, diverse, and entertaining product it is to a potentially new group of future fans is the main takeaway for me from this initiative,” says Kindred’s Head of Racing, Ed Nicholson.
