On 28 October 2026, 1xCare and the Federación Española de Jugadores de Azar Rehabilitados (FEJAR) announced a Memorandum of Partnership on gambling harm prevention. The release quotes Simon Westbury, Chairperson of 1xCare, and Gerardo Rodriguez Velo, President of FEJAR. The only account of the agreement so far is a press release distributed through g3newswire, and no second independent source has confirmed its terms.
Everything below comes from that release and reflects what the two organisations say, not what has been independently verified.
According to the release, the parties will cooperate on preventing and reducing gambling-related harm and on improving access to support, with responsible gambling education also named as an aim. The release places the collaboration within 1xCare's Support and Well-Being pillar. The first area it names is exploring support for FEJAR's online therapy and support services, including for people who face geographical or other barriers to in-person help.
The release sets several limits on the relationship. FEJAR, it says, keeps full responsibility for its professional methods, therapeutic processes and decisions about individual beneficiaries. The release states that the support will not depend on endorsing any commercial product or operator and will not be used for marketing or customer acquisition. It also says that neither 1xCare nor any donor will gain access to beneficiaries or any influence over individual care. On data, the release says that beneficiary confidentiality and data protection will be preserved in line with the General Data Protection Regulation.
According to the release, any specific initiative, including any funding, defined service or processing of personal data, would require a separate written agreement and due diligence; the partnership is non-exclusive.
The scale of the partnership is not known. Funding, reach and a start date have not been disclosed in any source available to us. The first separate written agreement would answer those questions if one is signed and its terms are published.
