The delivery and spreading process will commence at Buġibba Perched Beach on Wednesday, June 12, and continue at St. George’s Bay on Monday, June 17, 2024.

Global sporting events like Euro 2024 captivate millions, uniting fans worldwide. These events also intersect with rising sports gambling trends driven by accessible online betting platforms. The excitement of predicting outcomes and potential monetary gains makes sports betting particularly enticing during major tournaments.
However, sports betting carries risks, especially for vulnerable individuals. Easy access, social normalisation, and the thrill of wagering can lead to problem gambling behaviours.
The Responsible Gaming Foundation (RGF), established in 2014, addresses this by promoting awareness and support. The RGF administers funds to aid those affected by gambling issues, fosters responsible gambling awareness, strengthens research, supports alternatives and organises educational initiatives.
Promoting responsible gambling involves collaboration among organisations, betting platforms, and regulatory bodies. Implementing age verification, self-exclusion programs, and betting limits helps mitigate risks.
Governments, healthcare professionals, and advocacy groups must provide support systems, including counselling and tailored treatment programs for those struggling with gambling addiction.
Technology also aids in promoting responsible gambling through real-time analytics, pop-up warnings, and educational resources. By fostering a balanced approach that emphasises enjoyment over excessive risk-taking, individuals can enjoy sports without falling into problem gambling.
Understanding the relationship between global sporting events, gambling trends, and problem gambling awareness is crucial. The RGF’s commitment to responsible gambling ensures the thrill of sports remains a source of joy and unity for fans worldwide.
