Leeds Hospitals Charity Outlines Responsible Gambling Policy
November 17, 2025Charity emphasises support for customers with gambling difficulties
Leeds Hospitals Charity has published a Responsible Gambling Policy to address concerns related to gambling behaviour among its lottery participants. The policy outlines measures the charity and its staff take to identify individuals who may be experiencing problems with gambling and to guide them towards appropriate support and advice.
Key elements of the Responsible Gambling Policy
While recognising that most people gamble within their means, Leeds Hospitals Charity acknowledges that gambling can become problematic for some individuals. To assist customers in maintaining control over their gambling, the charity provides information through its lottery communications emphasising the following points:
- View gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money
- Avoid chasing losses
- Only gamble what is affordable
- Keep track of the time and money spent on gambling activities
- Read and understand the rules of the games
- Be aware that professional help and support services are available
Identification and support for at-risk customers
Leeds Hospitals Charity and its staff commit to taking reasonable steps to identify customers who may be showing signs of gambling difficulties. Once identified, these individuals are signposted to relevant guidance and support organisations to help manage or overcome problem gambling.
The policy reflects the charity’s responsibility to promote safe gambling practices among its participants and to mitigate potential harm associated with gambling.
