New Study: Ten EU Member States Strengthened Consumer Protection Rules for Online Gambling Since 2018, But Significant Fragmentation and Gaps Remain

Published

A new study has found 10 EU Member States have made progress in strengthening their consumer protection rules for online gambling since 2018, although significant fragmentation and gaps in how these rules are implemented still remain.

The study, published by the City, University of London (CUL), reviewed specific aspects of the consumer protection rules in EU Member States, including know your customer requirements, the protection of minors, safer gambling and treatment support, and assessed whether these rules are becoming similar or not.

The CUL study concludes that while most Member States have adopted similar approaches towards consumer protection, there are significant differences in how national rules are designed or implemented and in some Member States specific consumer protection rules for online gambling are missing. For example, the study found that while 16 Member States have established a national self-exclusion register for online gambling, how gamblers are added to these registers and the duration of their self-exclusion varies significantly, and not all these Member States have rules which prohibit gambling advertising being sent to those who are self-excluded.

The study is an update to a previous study which was published by CUL in 2018. Both studies were commissioned by the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) for the purpose of contributing to research knowledge about the safer gambling regulations which exist in the EU and raising awareness about the level of consumer protection offered to EU citizens in respect to online gambling.

Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA, said: “We welcome the progress made in strengthening the consumer protection rules in EU member states. In several areas, regulatory principles are converging, but there is increasing fragmentation in how the rules are implemented and this creates a complicated compliance and enforcement map for Europe’s gambling regulators and operators, while evidently also not benefiting the consumer. A more standardised regulatory framework would surely benefit all. While regulations and enforcement are extremely important, the study also highlights that more could be done to strengthen prevention measures and ensure that those who are affected by harm are signposted to relevant helplines and treatment centres.”

Lisboa Unicorn Capital, an initiative led by the Lisbon City Council, stands as a driving force in the global landscape of entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. Its latest endeavor empowers startups to engage with international events by providing support and resources.

Oddsgate, a standout in the local tech scene, was selected to represent the portuguese capital at this major international event.

The occasion will allow the iGaming company to showcase its team as exhibitors at Collision, fostering invaluable connections and insights in what has often been called “the Olympics of technology”.

Although this is a new experience for Oddsgate, which hasn’t had the chance to participate in this specific event in previous years, it won’t be the company’s first relationship with the country, as it already has established operations in the Canadian iGaming market.

Intending to evolve its operations more and more in the country, this participation represents a valuable chance to strengthen existing ties and expand the barriers of action of the Lisbon company, which already has a global presence.

Guilherme Graziani, Head of Business Development at LatAm, and Tomás Medley, Head of Account Management, are leading the charge, ensuring Oddsgate’s presence resonates powerfully at Collision.

This is a great achievement and a source of pride for the entire team, as highlighted by the co-founder, Mickael Shahinyan:

“Being selected for the event confirms our stance of always being attentive to the market, trends and opportunities to continue evolving. It also demonstrates our alignment with the rigorous standards and bold vision of Lisboa Unicorn Capital. We are very happy to be renowned for our unprecedented integrity of product, technology and service advancements cooped with regulatory compliance, giving our partners great advantage in their operational markets.”

Organized by the Web Summit Group, renowned for curating transformative tech gatherings worldwide, Collision promises to be a nexus of innovation and inspiration. That’s why Oddsgate foresees meaningful encounters, enriching exchanges, diversity of nationalities and cultures, and the identification of trends that will shape the market.

As Oddsgate embarks on this milestone journey, it not only elevates its own profile and allows it to acquire and share relevant knowledge but also underscores Lisbon’s burgeoning reputation as a dynamic hub for global tech innovation.

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries, “Light & Wonder” or “L&W”) has released Claw and Roar, from specialist slot provider Lightning Box, one of Light & Wonder’s in-house studios, exhibiting a plethora of animal symbols that award unique modifiers and features.

Michael Maokhamphiou, Studio Director at Light & Wonder, said: “Claw and Roar is an enchanting addition to our portfolio, transporting players to an epic forest where the animals can help them receive prizes.

“The action-packed free games round is bolstered by the Wild symbol, which can assist in adding further riches by granting an extra round whilst also granting players increasing respins.”

Rob Procter, VP of Game Development at Light & Wonder, said: “Lightning Box is elevating its established portfolio with the launch of Claw and Roar, proudly showcasing classic features and modifiers that still resonate with its player base.
