Join Us for European Safer Gambling Week 2024
11.10.2024
This year’s European Safer Gambling Week (ESGW24) will take place from 18-24 November 2024, and we are pleased to share key information and resources to help stakeholders participate. Introduced and coordinated by EGBA since 2021, this annual campaign brings together operators, regulators, harm prevention organisations, and other stakeholders from across Europe’s gambling sector to raise awareness about safer gambling and promote player protection.
Building on the success of last year’s campaign, which saw participation from over 160 partners across 20 European countries, 8 million safer gambling messages shared on social media, and 18 local events bringing together experts to discuss the latest developments in safer gambling, EGBA is setting ambitious goals for this upcoming fourth edition.
“Last year’s European Safer Gambling Week demonstrated the industry’s shared commitment to fostering a strong culture of safer gambling. With ESGW24 set for 18-24 November, we’re calling on stakeholders to start planning now so that together we can make this edition even more impactful,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General, EGBA.
