CEOs of Major European iGaming Companies Call for High-quality Regulation to Protect Players and Markets
In a joint letter, the CEOs from EGBA’s member operators—bet365, Betsson, Entain, Evoke, FDJ United, Flutter, LeoVegas and Superbet—showcased their ongoing investments in safer gambling and contributions to European society, while calling for smart, stable and evidence-based regulation that supports the long-term sustainability of regulated gambling in Europe.
The letter is featured in EGBA’s recently published Sustainability Report 2025.
“As CEOs of Europe’s leading gaming and betting companies serving 38 million customer accounts across 21 countries, our principle is simple: safe players are sustainable players. We see every day how effective regulation can deliver safe environments for our players. But the long-term sustainability of our sector depends on a balanced regulatory approach that supports player protection, compliance, and competitiveness. Today, that balance is at risk.
Our responsibility and contribution
We’re pleased to contribute to this year’s EGBA Sustainability Report, which reflects our shared commitment to continue to build a thriving and responsible sector in Europe. As this report shows, our companies are significantly raising industry standards to generate economic and social benefits through responsible operations and promoting safer play.
Encouraging our players to play positively isn’t just the right thing to do, it makes good business sense and reflects our commitment to contribute positively to European society. In 2024, our companies paid €3.8 billion in taxes to help fund public services, sustaining 62,000 jobs, and developing player support tools, now used voluntarily by 34% of players, and sent a record 100 million messages to our players to promote safer play.
Our efforts are backed by dedicated teams working to support our customers every day, with 89% of our employees completing dedicated safer gambling training. We also invested €735 million in the success of European sports last year, from grassroots to professional competitions.
The black market challenge
Yet while we continue to invest significantly in responsible play and compliance, unregulated, untaxed black market operators, based outside Europe, are thriving across the continent. These operators target vulnerable players with unlimited access and significant bonuses, offer no customer protections or support for struggling players, and don’t contribute to public finances or European sports. They operate entirely beyond regulatory oversight, avoiding all costs and obligations, and face few repercussions.
And their appeal only grows when well-intentioned regulation becomes too restrictive. In the Netherlands, new spending caps introduced in 2024 prompted a surge in black market activity. Within just months, unregulated sites were matching the revenue of the country’s regulated market. In the UK, an estimated £2.7 billion is staked annually on black market websites, costing taxpayers £335 million in lost taxes.
The path forward
The answer to this growing problem is not deregulation but smarter, more balanced regulation. We call for coordinated action:
Policymakers should prioritise regulation that is evidence-based and behaviourally informed to channel players toward the safer, regulated environment – not away from it.
Regulators should strengthen enforcement against black market operators based outside Europe who undermine the well-developed safety nets established in Europe.
Industry stakeholders should promote and work only with operators licensed and regulated in Europe.
Our commitment to sustainability
Despite these challenges, Europe is well positioned to lead the world in sustainable gambling. Our companies have shown that commercial success and social responsibility go hand in hand. We’ll continue to invest in messaging, training, research, and innovative tools that improve player protection and raise industry standards.
But we cannot do this alone. We need a stable, long-term vision for regulated markets – one built on evidence, consultation, and collaboration, rather than measures that end up putting players in harm’s way. Otherwise, Europe risks undermining its safe, regulated gambling environment that has been diligently built over many years. The black market isn’t just a business challenge for us – when regulation drives players away from the regulated market, everyone loses, especially vulnerable players.
Europe has a clear choice: either let regulated markets continue to lose ground to unregulated operators who undermine consumer protection and offer nothing positive to our society, or work together to protect players and support responsible operators who invest billions every year in Europe’s future.
We believe in the path of cooperation and are committed to building it further.”

22Bet Partners, HellPartners and PlayamoPartners Present: Empire of Success at SiGMA Rome 2025
When SiGMA takes over Rome from November 3–6, the city becomes the epicenter of iGaming. But on November 4, all paths lead to one destination: Atlantico Live, where three powerhouse brands — 22Bet Partners, HellPartners, PlayamoPartners, and — will set the stage for the most unforgettable night of the conference: Empire of Success.
Headlining the night is Armin van Buuren — a five-time #1 DJ in the world whose sets have defined a generation of electronic music. For one night only, his festival-scale sound and light show will take over Atlantico Live, turning 3,000 affiliates into the biggest crowd SiGMA Rome has ever seen.
Not an Invite-Only. A Statement.
In an industry where parties are usually small, exclusive, and hidden behind velvet ropes, Empire of Success breaks the mold. Not by lowering the bar — but by raising the ceiling. By opening registration to all affiliates, the organizers are sending a bold message: every partner deserves a seat at the table — and a place on the dancefloor. Every detail reflects the strength of the hosts. 22Bet’s precise, global execution. HellPartners’ bold, no-limits approach. PlayAmo’s polished, premium feel. It’s not “another night out.” It’s a VIP-standard experience, scaled for thousands, powered by brands with the vision (and the muscle) to make it happen.
Atmosphere & Format
From 21:00 until 02:00, Atlantico Live will turn into a fusion of sound, lights, and community. Expect world-class production, multiple bars, and a crowd that feels less like an audience and more like a movement. A dedicated VIP zone, curated by the organizers, will host selected partners with its own private bar and light bites, offering space to connect, regroup, or recharge between sets.
Together, these three brands have turned what could have been another closed-door party into a gift from the industry to the industry — one that makes every affiliate feel like the main guest. And you definitely don’t want to miss this.

TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of premium casino content, has released 3 Coin Golden OX, the newest addition to its popular TriLuck series. Featuring Lock & Respin mechanics, Free Games, the Jackpot Pick feature and stunning East Asian-inspired design, this release continues TaDa’s mastery in crafting culturally resonant slots with modern excitement.
Played on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, 3 Coin Golden OX merges elegant visual design with dynamic gameplay. The golden ox reigns over the reels as players chase multipliers, jackpot coins and powerful bonus rounds capable of delivering up to 1200x max win.
The heart of the game lies in its Fortune Pot system, where players collect Ta Ji Da Li Coins into red, green and blue pots above the reels. Each pot can trigger a different Free Game type such as Mighty Free Spins, Super Free Spins or Ultramate Free Spins, each with unique grid sizes, bonus coin behaviour, and jackpot opportunities. During Free Games, players start with three spins that reset whenever new coin symbols appear, keeping the tension high and rewards flowing.
Adding another layer of excitement, the Jackpot Pick Feature offers players a chance to reveal Fuwa symbols or Upgrade icons hidden behind gold coins. Revealing three identical Fuwa symbols awards one of four fixed jackpots, while Upgrade symbols can boost the prize to a higher tier. With fixed jackpot values up to 1000x the bet, 3 Coin Golden OX delivers thrilling win potential across every feature.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, commented: “3 Coin Golden OX continues the evolution of our TriLuck series with deeper bonus layers and stronger visual storytelling. The combination of Lock & Respin, progressive Free Games, and the Jackpot Pick feature gives players a sense of progression and excitement that builds with every spin.”
