This financial support will allow the promotion of projects focused on the prevention of addictions, support for vulnerable groups and the promotion of sporting integrity in Catalonia.

The donation is part of a total fundraising of €65,000 generated thanks to the generosity of several leading companies in the sector, including Flutter, Acordjoc, Novomatic, Grupo Orenes and Cirsa, as well as prominent donors such as Playtech, Betsson Group and Alea. These funds are mainly intended to benefit non-profit organisations working on addiction prevention and the promotion of positive values.
