27.05.2025
EGBA is pleased to announce that this year’s European Safer Gambling Week will take place from 17-23 November 2025. Join us in promoting safer gambling across Europe!
Brussels, 27 May 2025 – The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) is pleased to announce the dates for this year’s European Safer Gambling Week, which will take place from 17-23 November 2025.
European Safer Gambling Week[1] is an annual collaborative initiative to raise awareness about safer gambling in Europe and foster a strong culture of player protection. Organised by EGBA, the initiative serves as a platform to inform citizens about safer gambling and promote information and best practice-sharing between stakeholders across Europe’s gambling sector, including operators, regulators, technology providers, support organisations, and experts-by-experience.
This year will be the fifth edition of the initiative and follows the unprecedented success of 2024, which saw 195 partners participate in a social media campaign across 26 countries reaching 3.1 million social media users with important safer gambling messages. There were also 20 events held during the week that gathered 3,000 attendees.
Building upon this momentum, the 2025 edition will be underpinned by a social media campaign and an array of insightful workshops. These will aim to raise awareness about safer gambling, share best practices and tips, signpost crucial resources and services, and facilitate meaningful discussions about the latest developments in regulation and research.
Reflecting on the initiative’s growing impact, Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA, said:
“We’re pleased to announce the dates for European Safer Gambling Week 2025 and are excited to build on the exceptional momentum of last year’s campaign. The initiative has become Europe’s leading platform for safer gambling awareness and last year brought together a record coalition of 195 partners across 26 countries to promote player protection. This is a shared commitment and we invite organisations across the industry to join us for this year’s edition and help us foster a strong culture of safe and sustainable gambling in Europe.”
Mark your calendars for this year’s European Safer Gambling Week on 17-23 November 2025, and join us in promoting safer gambling across Europe!
