What’s at Stake: the people behind Britain’s betting shops

Entain has launched ‘What’s at Stake’, a campaign highlighting the jobs, livelihoods and community connections that could be put at risk by further gambling tax increases in the Autumn Budget.

At its heart are the voices of our Ladbrokes and Coral colleagues. Through films and personal stories, they share what their shops mean to the people they serve, from career opportunities to friendships built over decades.

The campaign also explores betting shops’ contribution to British racing and the role trained colleagues play in supporting safer gambling, alongside the wider impact that further closures could have on our high streets.

As decisions on future taxation are considered, we are calling for an approach that recognises these contributions and takes account of the consequences for jobs and communities.
