About Us
The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) is the Brussels-based trade association representing the leading online gambling operators established, licensed, and regulated within the EU. In a rapidly evolving sector, the EGBA is at the forefront of promoting a competitive and well-regulated online gambling market in Europe.
EGBA works collaboratively with national and EU authorities, along with other stakeholders, to promote an online gambling market that prioritises consumer protection and accommodates the realities of the internet and online consumer demand. The association advocates for regulations which ensure that the regulated online gambling offer is attractive to players and is effective in directing them away from unregulated offers.
A key objective of EGBA is fostering a safe and sustainable online gambling sector in Europe. Our members adhere to various industry standards and codes established by EGBA to support this objective, complementing the strict licensing rules they already comply with in the European countries where they operate.
EGBA members adhere to the highest regulatory standards, collectively holding 321 online gambling licenses across 21 European countries—each license with its own rigorous compliance requirements. Together, they represent approximately 30% of Europe’s online gambling gross gaming revenue (GGR).
Members of EGBA also participate in the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) which drives industry efforts in sports integrity and the prevention of match-fixing. The association has established an alert platform and information sharing agreements with leading governing bodies of sports, including FIFA and the IOC.
EGBA is registered to the EU Transparency register, since 2009, with the number 29508582413-52.
