COVID-19: European Gambling Associations Renew Commitment to Safer Online Gambling and Responsible Advertising
With many European countries facing the return of more severe coronavirus-related restrictions, 15 of Europe’s online gambling associations have renewed their commitment to safer gambling and responsible advertising by outlining essential measures which gambling companies should rigorously apply to protect their customers.
EGBA Publishes First Pan-European Code On Responsible Advertising For Online Gambling
EGBA has strengthened its commitment to safer gambling by publishing the first pan-European Code of Conduct on responsible advertising for online gambling. The Code is broad in scope and introduces essential standards for advertising content, across all media platforms, and dedicated measures for social media. The Code has a particular focus on minor protection.
EGBA demonstrates commitment to GDPR with sectoral code of conduct for data protection
EGBA has published a draft code of conduct on data protection which establishes dedicated sector-specific rules and best practices to ensure compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and promotes the highest standards of data protection in the online gambling sector.
A truly European sector
Online gambling is truly cross-border. Our member companies hold licenses in 20 EU member states, adding up to a total of more than 121 licenses to provide their services in the EU.

Promoting safer online gambling
The vast majority of people who gamble play for fun and in a responsible way, but not all do. EGBA supports measures to ensure that all players are better protected, especially the approximately 1-2% who display problem gambling behaviour.
