This Month: EGBA Responsible Gaming Day

The European Gambling and Betting Association (EGBA) will mark the 6th Responsible Gaming Day this November, holding the annual convention in Brussels. The EGBA's commitment is for legal and responsible internet betting and gaming in Europe, providing guidelines and procedures to gaming operators on how to provide safe, secure and responsible online gaming to their customers.

The November 29 Conference

Registration is open to the convention which will take place on the morning of the 28 th of November in Brussel's Bibliotheque Solvay. Moderated by journalist and broadcaster Jacki Davis, a public roundtable discussion will address key questions dealing with Europe and online gambling.

Focus will be given on questions such as:

• The impact of national regulation of online gambling in the EU: Has it created an attractive legal offer to EU consumers?
• What are the outcomes of the Commission's action plan: Implementation or achievements?
• What are the future challenges and policy options for online gambling in the EU?

The discussion will be closed by a networking lunch.
