Safer Gambling Week is a national, cross-industry initiative to promote and raise awareness of safer gambling. This annual event aims to stimulate conversations around safer gambling and drive awareness of:

  • How to approach gambling more safely
  • The tools that are available to help with safer gambling
  • Sources of further advice and support

At HooYu, we support our customers in meeting their responsible gambling commitments. Here’s how:


  1. The HooYu platform helps businesses know their customers better. By helping businesses know their customer better, we can help keep gambling fair, safe and free from crime.
  2. By helping our clients know their customers better, we enable them to spot patterns in user spend and earnings which can identify consumers at risk of falling into financial difficulties. By doing this early, we can help identify those at risk before unsafe gambling habits cause deep harm.
  3. At HooYu, we help customers collect ‘Source of Funds’ documentation – checking funds are legitimate and not linked to money laundering.
  4. The HooYu platform enables businesses to run affordability checks, helping businesses to identify appropriate deposit or loss thresholds based on users’ income.  
  5. HooYu customers can set their journey configurations to include a questionnaire feature. Adding bespoke forms allows our customers to collect information (of any kind) from their end users, including data that can be helpful in assessing and measuring problem-gambling risk factors.

We’re proud to be raising awareness of what can be done to prevent and tackle unsafe gambling practices, making it easier for our customers to help keep gambling fair, safe and free from crime.
