The fourth edition of the European Safer Gambling Week marked tremendous success, with 195 organizations from 26 countries taking part. Organized by the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), the initiative highlights the industry’s commitment to promoting safe and responsible gambling practices.

Held from November 18 to 24, the event featured a diverse program of seminars, webinars, and a social media campaign that reached 3.1 million users across platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. The participation of eight national regulatory authorities and the inclusion of new countries like Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ukraine underscored the initiative’s expanding geographic scope.

With a record number of 20 specialized events, the campaign attracted 3,000 attendees and 4,500 registrations. Key topics included innovations in responsible gambling tools, the use of artificial intelligence, and trends in problem gambling reporting.

“This year, we proved that collaboration allows us to reach more people with vital safety messages,” said EGBA Secretary General Maarten Haijer. “Joint efforts are key to making gambling a safer form of entertainment, and the success of this initiative inspires us to achieve even greater results next year.”

Association of Gaming Industry in Bulgarian and “Responsible Gaming” Foundation, which AGIB supports, actively participated in the initiative. The foundation contributed with a webinar titled “Young People and Gambling: Approaches for Support and Prevention”.
