ADVANCING PLAYER PROTECTION ACROSS EUROPEAN GAMING
Player protection is central to building a safer, more responsible and sustainable regulated gaming industry.
As gaming products, technologies and consumer behaviours evolve, licensed operators, regulators and industry stakeholders face growing expectations to identify risks earlier, protect vulnerable players and demonstrate the effectiveness of safer gambling measures.
The Player Protection Forum, taking place at SBC Summit Europe, brings together licensed gaming operators, regulators, responsible gambling specialists, researchers, player support organisations and technology partners to exchange knowledge, explore emerging challenges and share practical approaches to improving player protection.
At the heart of the Forum is a shared ambition: to move beyond regulatory compliance and strengthen player protection through practical solutions and measurable outcomes. Discussions will focus on responsible product design, early risk identification, effective player interventions and how operators, regulators and independent experts can work together to improve player safety across European markets.
BRINGING THE INDUSTRY TOGETHER TO STRENGTHEN PLAYER PROTECTION
The Player Protection Forum provides a dedicated environment for licensed operators, regulators, responsible gambling professionals, researchers and player support organisations to exchange knowledge, share experiences and explore practical solutions to common challenges.
Bringing together stakeholders from across Europe’s regulated gaming ecosystem, the Forum focuses on the strategies, technologies and collaborative approaches needed to improve player safety and strengthen responsible gambling practices.
From identifying at-risk behaviour and improving customer interventions to responsible product design, regulatory expectations and measuring the effectiveness of player protection programmes, participants will gain practical insights and connect with professionals working towards safer and more sustainable gaming environments.
