We didn’t plan to build the Against The Odds Awareness Club—young people built it for us. When our inbox started filling up with messages from people asking for help, we knew we had to step up.
Our goal?
To raise awareness about gambling harm in a way that makes sense to teenagers and young adults.
Banging the anti-gambling drum don’t work & neither does shouting from the roof tops.
For us, the way in, is through the things they actually care about - health, sport and fashion.
That’s where we meet them, that’s where we start the conversation.

Student Leadership Group
Student Leadership Group
Our Student Leadership Team (SLT) gives young people aged 16-24 a vital platform to share their views and experiences around gambling, its advertising, and the impacts they face—whether directly or indirectly. The team ensures that the voices of young people remain at the heart of Against The Odds, helping us shape our programmes, campaigns, and services to better meet their needs.
Meeting quarterly, the SLT discusses key issues affecting their generation, provides feedback on industry practices, and helps design initiatives that challenge harmful gambling norms. We’re proud to be announcing our SLT Captain in early September, who will take a leading role in driving the team’s mission forward.
We are always recruiting passionate young people to join the SLT team. If you have been impacted by gambling or feel strongly about the industry, please drop us a message at SLT@againsttheodds.uk to get involved and make a real difference.
(Please note: If you are under 18, we will need to speak with a parent or guardian.)

Our Next Move
Our Next Move
We want the gambling industry to stop flooding sports, social media, and our screens with messages that make gambling look like the easy win.
We’re pushing for a different kind of advertising—one that actually puts people first.. SOCIAL MARKETING
It’s not about banning gambling.
It’s about making it safer.
It’s about making sure young people get the full picture—not just the bright lights and the “bet now” button.
