Better Gambling Forum reveals global strategy

The Better Gambling Forum has announced its framework for global player protection at the UN General Assembly.

The Responsible Gambling Practice and Policy Pillars (RG3P) Framework comprises six pillars. The framework, the organisation said, was designed to complement, rather than compete with, existing responsible gambling efforts

Pillars include Education, Informed Choice and Harm Prevention; Risk Detection and Intervention; Support, Treatment and Recovery; Gambling Environment, Product and Marketing; Ethical Industry Practices and Accountability; and Research, Evaluation and Sustainable Funding.

“The pillars are designed to address this challenge and serve as a foundational structure for jurisdictions seeking to create a ‘gold standard’ guide for gambling awareness, treatment programmes and regulations,” said Francis Keyser, a committee member and senior vice president of product at Everi Holdings.
