EGBA Launches New Website for Safer Gambling Week
Introduction to the New Safer Gambling Week Website
The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has unveiled its new website dedicated to European Safer Gambling Week. This site serves as a central resource, offering helpful materials for players, a schedule of upcoming events, and practical advice aimed at promoting responsible gambling practices.
Overview of European Safer Gambling Week
European Safer Gambling Week, coordinated by EGBA since 2021, is an annual campaign designed to enhance awareness and encourage a culture of player safety across Europe. The event brings together a wide array of stakeholders in the gambling industry committed to fostering safe and responsible gaming. The next edition of this initiative will take place from November 17 to November 23, 2025.
Features of the New Website
The newly launched online platform acts as an information hub for this important event. It offers a dedicated section with extensive support resources including contact details for national helplines and self-exclusion programs available across various European nations, enabling players to find assistance confidentially and in their native languages.
The website also provides a detailed and growing calendar of events such as conferences, workshops, and webinars scheduled throughout the week. Industry stakeholders and interested participants can view the full program and register to take part in these insightful sessions.
Additionally, there is a comprehensive guide page containing tips for safer gambling. It educates players on recognizing risk signs, managing their gaming activities responsibly, and adopting the key safer gambling principles that underpin this year’s campaign.
About EGBA and Its Mission
Located in Brussels, the EGBA represents leading licensed and regulated online gambling operators within the European Union. The association collaborates with national and EU regulators and other industry participants to advocate for a regulated online gambling environment that prioritizes consumer protection while adapting to the digital age and changing player needs.
Among its many initiatives, EGBA organizes European Safer Gambling Week to unite diverse industry stakeholders in promoting safe and sustainable gambling practices. The 2025 campaign, known as ESGW25, invites operators, regulators, support groups, technology providers, and trade bodies to participate actively.
Campaign assets are accessible in 27 different languages, ensuring broad reach and inclusivity. Last year’s campaign brought together 195 organizations from 26 countries and successfully engaged over 3.1 million people through coordinated social media efforts, educational programs, and collaborative partnerships.
