Traditional responsible gambling tools often assume rational player decision-making — but neuroscience suggests otherwise.
This session introduces a new approach grounded in the brain’s stress and reward systems, exploring how AI-driven microbreaks and neuroentertainment can interrupt compulsive gambling behaviour in real time. Drawing on three years of data, the presentation will outline the Survival Optimization System (SOS) framework, share findings from Casino.NL trials, and show how mood-regulating digital resets can improve decision-making without disrupting play.
Challenging conventional RG models, this session offers a science-backed case for reframing responsible gambling as both a regulatory priority and a strategic advantage.

This session explores how AI and behavioural science are transforming responsible gambling. Using real-world examples, Mindway AI will demonstrate how tools like GameScanner and Gamalyze help identify at-risk players, support early intervention and improve regulatory compliance. Attendees will gain insight into the latest developments in AI-driven risk profiling and how these technologies can support safer gambling across markets and jurisdictions.

As gambling, investing and gaming converge to create new and exciting products, what can we understand about their propensity to create harm, and what must we do to prevent problems?

The gaming industry is often labelled a laggard in adopting new technology. This can be both a blessing and a curse. On the positive side, laws and regulations may have more time to adapt, if necessary. On the downside, by the time technology is adopted, newer tools may already be out. This session will examine examples of technology in our industry, where we were and where we still are. We will look ahead at what is currently being deployed and what may be on the horizon, and outline what legislators, regulators, suppliers and operators should take into consideration. We’ll also explore how standards and best practice can help ease implementation in a highly regulated industry.
