"So That No One Worries Alone" Gotcha4Life Foundation is known as Australia’s leading mental fitness charity, dedicated to inspiring and empowering all Australians to take action in building their mental resilience, so no one has to worry alone. This year marked the third time Kindred has proudly supported the Gotcha4Life Cup, and it was our most successful event yet. An incredible $232,000 was raised in total, a contribution that will have a profound impact on the community. The Cup was not only a night of thrilling rugby, but it also featured an exciting halftime Celebrity Touch Football game, where some of Australia’s finest athletes and entertainment personalities took the field. 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.

Kindred Group’s CEO, Nils Andén, is currently attending Almedalen Week, an annual political summit in Sweden. He participated in the panel by Svenska Spel titled ‘Transparency in the Gambling Industry – Who is the Money Coming From?’ alongside Anna Johnson, CEO at Svenska Spel and Daniela Johansson, Deputy CEO at Paf - Games Sport Casino. Together, they discussed the importance of disclosing revenue from harmful gambling and the need to increase transparency in the industry. According to Nils, “It’s great that more operators are now following Kindred’s example and disclosing this data, which will contribute to a discussion about safer gambling based on facts.” He added, “There is a lot of data held by operators, and this data is often shared with researchers and authorities to help provide more knowledge and know-how about high-risk gambling.” Nils encourages more operators to become more transparent and to follow the examples set by Kindred with Journey Towards Zero, launched in 2021, and also by Svenska Spel, which will start reporting their revenue from safe gambling starting in Q2. The panel fostered a good conversation and demonstrated that there is great alignment and common views within the industry in Sweden. #kindredgroup #safegambling #gamblingindustry
