Land-based gambling systems generate rich behavioural data, but this resource remains underused in safer gambling efforts.
In this session, Focal Research and the UNLV International Gaming Institute share insights from a collaborative, self-funded research program designed to analyse systems data in novel ways. They’ll explore how academic–industry partnerships can secure sensitive data, replicate findings across venues, and provide stronger evidence to inform regulation.
Key findings include when to engage players during continuous play and how small incentives affect participation in safer gambling initiatives.

This panel will explore how regulators can harness AI to strengthen oversight — from detecting fraud and verifying identities to supporting responsible gambling and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. Panellists will share real-world applications, examine current and emerging use cases, and discuss the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into regulatory practice.
