About Us
As the collective voice for Europe’s online gambling sector, 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 regulatory and market landscape, the EGBA promotes a competitive, innovative, and well-regulated market that balances sustainable growth with strong consumer safeguards.
EGBA works together with national and EU authorities, and other stakeholders, towards a well-regulated and well-channelled online gambling market that recognises the realities of the internet and consumer demand while providing a high level of consumer protection. We promote smart regulations that make regulated online gambling sufficiently attractive to channel consumers away from unregulated websites that lack adequate protections.
As leaders in safer gambling, EGBA members adhere to various EGBA industry standards and codes to complement the many different and stringent licensing requirements they already comply with in European countries. We coordinate significant initiatives like the annual European Safer Gambling Week, which promotes safer gambling across the continent. Our comprehensive industry codes establish benchmarks for anti-money laundering, player safety, fairness, and responsible advertising, complementing the extensive licensing requirements our members fulfil across Europe.
Our membership represents significant market presence and regulatory compliance, with our operators collectively holding 321 online gambling licenses across 21 European countries, demonstrating their commitment to operating within regulatory frameworks. EGBA members generate approximately one-third of Europe’s regulated online gambling gross gaming revenue (GGR).
EGBA members actively protect sports integrity through their participation in the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA). This collaboration has established sophisticated monitoring systems and alert platforms, working directly with major sports governing bodies including FIFA and the IOC to identify and prevent match-fixing.
EGBA has maintained registration in the EU Transparency register since 2009 (registration number: 29508582413-52), reflecting our long-standing commitment to open dialogue and transparency in our work. Looking ahead, we remain committed to being a responsible and trustworthy representative for Europe’s online gambling sector and promoting a safe and sustainable gambling environment across the continent.
