SUMMARY:Closing the cybersecurity gap in gaming
DESCRIPTION:The gaming industry faces an evolving cyber threat landscape and a patchwork of regulations that often leave critical vulnerabilities unaddressed. This session examines the current state of cybersecurity regulations in the gaming sector—what’s working\, what’s falling short\, and why attackers see gaming as a prime target. We will introduce the GLI Gaming Security Framework (GLI-GSF) as a practical\, comprehensive approach to bridging existing gaps\, enhancing resiliency\, and aligning with global best practices. Through real-world breach examples\, we will highlight common failure points and explore actionable steps to strengthen defences across the industry.

SUMMARY:Regtech – the regulator’s ally or an unregulated shortcut?
DESCRIPTION:The gambling sector is undergoing a profound transformation as regulatory scrutiny intensifies globally. As regulatory scrutiny evolves within jurisdictions and across borders\, it’s natural that the gambling sector mirrors the use of technology in other sectors.\n\nRegulatory technology (RegTech) tools and platforms are designed to help gambling operators comply and regulators to understand that level of compliance.\n\nThis panel explores how RegTech has evolved in the gambling industry\, the regulatory and operational challenges it addresses\, and what innovations and policy shifts are likely to shape its future.\n\n

SUMMARY:Efforts to combat match-fixing and sports betting-regulated corruption: An Australian approach
DESCRIPTION:The evolving nature of sports betting and competition manipulation\, driven by commercialisation and technology\, presents complex and globalised risks beyond the control of any single stakeholder.\nAustralia’s mature\, well-regulated gambling environment helps reduce the appeal of domestic markets to criminal syndicates. However\, the growing complexity and scale of sports betting demand proactive management of integrity risks.\nThis session will examine how Sport Integrity Australia is addressing match-fixing and betting-related corruption\, both domestically and internationally. It will outline key measures\, including national match-fixing laws\, a transition to a national platform\, and sport-specific policies to strengthen Australia’s defences against these threats.\n

SUMMARY:Regulatory toolbox 101 – the inner workings of the risk management machinery of a regulator
DESCRIPTION:The regulator’s data and compliance functions play a crucial role in managing industry risks. Building effective risk management frameworks that facilitate the identification and processing of complex datasets supports more targeted regulatory interventions at a pre-enforcement stage\, creating more opportunities for compliance. Understanding emerging risks\, utilisation of data and automation are vital components in effective processing of licensed entities’ information at scale and being able to leverage the available information in a way that promotes a result-driven methodology.\n\nThis panel will delve into the challenges faced by regulators\, focusing on the importance of utilising data in regulatory risk management frameworks\, specifically risk matrix methodologies\, compliance oversight and automation\, regulatory reporting\, and facilitating the engagement of licensees in delivering better compliance programs.\n\n

SUMMARY:AI and responsible gambling – shaping the future of player protection
DESCRIPTION:As digital transformation accelerates across gambling markets\, regulators face growing pressure to strengthen player protection while supporting sustainable industry growth. This session will explore how artificial intelligence and behavioural analytics are transforming responsible gambling through early risk detection and personalised interventions.\nDrawing on real-world examples and academic collaborations\, we’ll examine how AI systems analyse behavioural indicators to identify at-risk players before serious harm occurs. We’ll also share insights from ongoing research into the effectiveness of AI-driven interventions\, including how different approaches to messaging influence player behaviour.\nThe discussion will cover emerging applications of AI\, from 24/7 personalised chatbots to sentiment analysis and reinforcement learning\, and highlight how over 20 jurisdictions have already integrated behavioural analytics into regulation.\nAttendees will gain practical recommendations for fostering collaboration among regulators\, operators and researchers to develop ethical standards for AI\, support data sharing and ensure that technology complements—not replaces—human expertise.\n

SUMMARY:The global challenge of regulating gambling advertising in sports – insights from multi-continental studies
DESCRIPTION:As gambling advertising becomes increasingly embedded in sports\, regulators worldwide face growing challenges in balancing industry interests with consumer protection. This presentation highlights findings from multiple studies we conducted\, analysing gambling marketing across soccer (Premier League\, UEFA Euro 2024)\, basketball (NBA)\, ice hockey (NHL)\, rugby\, and cricket\, examining its prevalence\, regulatory gaps\, and potential policy responses.\nOur research\, conducted across the UK\, US\, Canada (Ontario)\, South Africa\, and Europe\, investigates gambling advertising across live sports broadcasts\, news coverage\, radio\, and social media platforms. Findings reveal the significant scale and reach of gambling marketing\, for example\, with 29\,145 gambling messages recorded during the UK’s 2024 Premier League opening weekend alone — a 165% increase from 2023\, despite additional regulations. In Canada\, gambling logos were visible for over a fifth of NHL and NBA match broadcasts\, while social media gambling promotions generated millions of impressions. In the US\, 58% of sports betting ads on social media were not clearly identifiable as advertising\, posing challenges for transparency and consumer protection. Meanwhile\, emerging data from South Africa highlights the growing integration of gambling sponsorships across major sports\, including cricket\, rugby and soccer.\n\nThese findings suggest that current regulatory measures seem insufficient in reducing the volume of gambling marketing — as well as its associated harms relating to high exposure. While efforts such as advertising codes and self-regulation exist\, they struggle to keep pace with evolving marketing strategies\, particularly in digital spaces. This presentation will outline key regulatory challenges\, international case studies\, and potential strategies for enhancing oversight\, transparency\, and harm reduction. By fostering a dialogue between researchers and policymakers\, this session aims to support the development of evidence-based\, adaptive regulatory approaches that can better address the complexities of gambling marketing in sports.\n\n

SUMMARY:Crypto-assets in gaming – regulation\, risk and public policy consideration
DESCRIPTION:As crypto-assets become more visible in online gambling ecosystems\, regulators and operators alike are grappling with how to manage their use responsibly.\nThis session explores the practical\, regulatory and policy implications of crypto-assets in online gaming — including how they’re currently used\, how volatility is managed and what obligations operators face under anti-money laundering and source-of-funds rules. Panellists will examine the challenges of overseeing crypto-based transactions in gambling environments.\nThe session will also explore broader public policy questions\, including whether consumer demand alone justifies regulatory change — and what future developments may emerge as jurisdictions weigh innovation against integrity.\n

SUMMARY:What works and why – assessing safer gambling outcomes to advance evidence-based decision-making
DESCRIPTION:As gambling products and markets continue to evolve\, so too must our approaches to understanding what actually reduces harm. But without clear evaluation\, how do we know if safer gambling initiatives are working?\nThis session explores how outcomes-based evaluation can strengthen harm reduction efforts by identifying what works\, for whom\, and under what conditions. Panellists will introduce core principles of outcomes measurement\, its integration with gambling harm assessments\, and practical methodologies used across jurisdictions.\nThrough case studies and applied examples\, participants will gain insights into how evaluation can inform policy\, improve practice\, and support shared progress toward safer gambling goals.\n

SUMMARY:Protective measures for young adults in gambling
DESCRIPTION:In many countries\, young adults are not (yet) seen as extra vulnerable when it comes to gambling. Limiting offering or even prohibiting gambling carries the risk that this group will see advertisements for illegal offering\, and will start to play illegally and don’t join the legal offering. What is the best solution for this group when it comes to protective measures?

SUMMARY:Rewiring responsible gaming – using AI\, neuro-entertainment and the survival optimisation system to balance dopamine and reduce impulsivity
DESCRIPTION:Traditional responsible gambling tools often assume rational player decision-making — but neuroscience suggests otherwise.\nThis 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.\nChallenging conventional RG models\, this session offers a science-backed case for reframing responsible gambling as both a regulatory priority and a strategic advantage.

SUMMARY:Technology and gaming – What was\, what is and what could be
DESCRIPTION: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.
