CEN publishes European standard with nine gambling harm indicators
The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) published a European standard containing nine indicators of potential gambling-related harm, available through national standards bodies since 31 May. The standard covers indicators including changes in stakes, deposits and withdrawals, session length, longer-term net losses and adjustments to safer-gambling tools; the EGBA said members would further align their processes with it.
The indicators give gambling businesses a shared European framework for identifying potentially harmful play.
