We believe social responsibility goes beyond compliance, it’s about making a genuine difference. Our commitment to safer gambling, community support, and ethical operations ensures we act with care and integrity at every level.
We invest in initiatives that educate and provide assistance where it’s needed most. From our safer gambling measures to our charitable partnerships, we strive to create a positive impact beyond our venues. Key areas of our social responsibility include:
Through the MERKUR Initiative, we actively contribute to charities, local projects, and community programmes that make a real and lasting difference.
We provide clear responsible gambling messaging, self-exclusion options, and trained staff to support players in making informed choices.
We foster a diverse, supportive, and ethical workplace, ensuring fairness in employment and prioritising employee well-being.
Our MERKUR Initiative plays a key role, focusing on local community projects, charity support, and social engagement. We work with industry experts and responsible gambling organisations to continuously improve our efforts. See some of our latest donations.
