The International Association of Gaming Regulators’ (IAGR) report Gambling and gaming – blurred lines was recently released, revealing global concerns about emerging forms of gambling.

The report found social gaming, skins betting, loot boxes and esports betting have become increasingly prevalent internationally with regulators from across the world receiving complaints from consumers.

IAGR President, Paul Newson, said the survey, completed by representatives from 30 jurisdictions, reveals escalating concerns around the convergence of gambling and gaming.

‘IAGR’s latest report highlights the prevalence of consumer complaints and regulatory concerns arising from the confluence of gambling and gaming and agreement that gambling regulators should play an active role to monitor and contribute to better regulation of the sector.

‘The report also reveals the complexity in jurisdictional regulatory frameworks and associated challenges around establishing international standards and best practice. Perhaps best highlighted by the mixed views and approaches to regulating loot boxes.

Chair of the IAGR, Statistics Sub-Committee, James Green, said the survey highlighted common challenges and eagerness for gambling regulators to collaborate.

“With 80% of respondents agreeing that gambling regulators should work together to monitor these forms of gambling, very clearly our members see collaboration as essential to safeguarding their communities,” Mr Green said.

The full report is available from the IAGR Website.

IAG​R consists of representatives from gaming regulatory organisations throughout the world and aims to advance the effectiveness and efficiency of gambling regulation.

This survey is the first in a series of thematic reports intended to complement the annual Gambling Regulation Survey conducted by IAGR’s Statistics Sub-Committee. IAGR welcomes feedback on the content of this report, or ideas for future IAGR statistics work.

EGT’s Bell Link 2 linked-progressive multigame made its German debut in all four sites of the Casino SH Group. The latest addition of the bestseller “Bell Link” series went live on October 1, 2024 as a very special wide-area linked-progressive edition, called the “Schleswig-Holstein Jackpot”.

A total of 16 premium G 50 J2 St cabinets located in Casino Schenefeld, Casino Kiel, Casino Lübeck and Casino Flensburg, are offering a first ever globally-linked GRAND level progressive jackpot with a guaranteed starting value of 100.000,00 EUR, which can be won in any casino, at any time and with any bet.

Additionally, the concept offers a locally-linked MAJOR level progressive jackpot and two bonus prizes in each individual casino, which also can be won at any time and any bet.

Emilia Tomachinska, Managing Director of the E-Systems GmbH, EGT’s distributor in the German speaking regions of Europe, commented: “I am very proud that Casino SH once again trusted us and we were able to launch this captivating product, which will hopefully be a great addition to their gaming floors. After 13 years, in which a number of EGT products have been constantly demonstrating a rock-solid performance, the time was finally right for a very special product like the “Schleswig-Holstein Jackpot”. I believe that this installation will further strengthen our fruitful partnership and I hope that it will open the door for even more interesting and high-potential collaborations like this in the future.”

Rainer Schepull, CEO of the Casino SH Group, shared: “We are very glad to have realized this idea together with our long-term partners E-Systems and EGT. Our cooperation with them has always been on the highest level, and with this project – from start to finish – they both proved their professionalism once again. The new ‘Schleswig-Holstein Jackpot’ immediately caught the attention of our visitors and now we can’t wait for our first 6-digits GRAND JACKPOT WINNER! We all here at the Casino SH Group are very excited to find out when, in which casino location and who will hit it!”
