e-Gaming firm's boost for gambling charity

Friday, 7 April 2017 00:00

A Douglas-based gaming company has donated £5,000 to an Island gambling counselling service.

Lottery betting operator Annexio gave the money to Motiv8 to support its GamCare Isle of Man service.

The scheme has a special helpline and offers free help and advice to anyone who's concerned about their own gambling or that of friends or family.

Annexio's global affiliate manager Luke Cashin says, as a responsible e-Gaming company, Annexio is pleased to help develop the service, and called on other eGaming operators to follow suit.
