Mark Weiss Appointed as Deputy CEO of GamCare
In a significant move for the UK's gambling harm prevention sector, Mark Weiss has been appointed as the Deputy CEO of GamCare, a leading organisation dedicated to gambling harm prevention, player support, and raising awareness about problem gambling.
Weiss, who previously served as the Communications and External Affairs Director at GamCare, has been a part of the organisation for some time. His new role was announced in August 2025[1]. However, the specific details about his achievements, future plans, or impact within this role are yet to be fully disclosed.
Before joining GamCare, Weiss has over a decade of experience in health policy and communication roles. He contributed to legislative changes at the UK Faculty of Public Health and led policy and public affairs for the UK's largest hospital specialty during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In his new role, Weiss will collaborate closely with Margot Daly, the Executive Chair of GamCare, and other third sector partners, including GambleAware, the NHS, and government, to build the next chapter of gambling support in Britain. His collaborative and evidence-based approach will be instrumental in driving forward GamCare's mission to help those affected by gambling-related harm and prevent further harm.
While there is no specific public record yet about Weiss's achievements or detailed future plans, his commitment to GamCare is underscored by his first-hand appreciation of the charity's treatment services and prevention programs. He has expressed enthusiasm for his new role and his aim to navigate the evolving landscape of research, prevention, and treatment in gambling.
It is worth noting that Weiss's new role at GamCare does not have a specific mention of enhancing the organisation's profile or supporting initiatives. However, it does provide strategic leadership and positions Weiss as an ambassador for the organisation.
For a more comprehensive understanding of his impact and plans, official statements from GamCare or forthcoming news releases would be necessary.
