The Gambling Integrity Team
Malcolm Bruce: Founder
Gambling governance has been a major strand in Malcolm's work over the years, from advising the Gambling Commission (as the CEO of Gambleaware) on the evidence base for the LCCP during the implementation of the 2005 Gambling Act in UK, to advising the Dutch government on the social responsibility provisions needed in its overhaul of gambling laws, to working with the directors and board members of the leading gambling companies in the world on how to reduce risk, enhance compliance and attain consumer and regulator confidence. He has worked with several gambling addiction NGOs and charities to help develop stakeholder engagement with public policy on gambling issues.
He was director of Corporate Responsibility at Betfair before its listing on the stock market with a remit to reduce corporate risk exposure over problem gambling and define and implement positive social and environmental impacts for the company.
Malcolm has a postgraduate degree in Ethics from the University of London (Heythrop College) where he was a visiting lecturer in business ethics in the philosophy and ethics department. He has also worked in recent years as an organisational consultant to companies in Europe in cultural change management and corporate integrity.
