- Emergency teams.
- Public figures.
The approach focused on adapting both resources and methods of delivery to local needs.
Long-Term Commitment to Latin America
1win views the four initiatives as part of a longer-term relationship with Latin America extending beyond entertainment and sport.
The organisation said its approach is centred on listening to local communities, working with trusted partners and acting where resources can produce tangible results.
Industry Context
Corporate social responsibility initiatives are becoming increasingly visible within the gaming and betting industry.
Alongside programmes directly related to Responsible Gambling, some companies are expanding their work into humanitarian relief, community development and emergency response.
Across Latin America, partnerships with local organisations can be especially important for identifying needs and distributing assistance rapidly following natural disasters.
Next Steps or Impact
1win Charity intends to continue using local partnerships and direct on-the-ground involvement as central elements of its work in Latin America.
The four initiatives across Colombia, Venezuela and Chile represented more than US$100,000 in investment and assistance for approximately 35,000 families.
The programme aims to maintain a long-term social presence in the region through interventions focused on concrete community needs.
