CEN vote backs European standard for identifying gambling harm
An overwhelming majority of national standardisation bodies voted for a draft European standard on markers of gambling harm, EGBA said. The vote closed on 25 September, and the standard must complete CEN's formal finalisation process before publication, which is expected by early 2026. It will be available for voluntary adoption by regulators and operators across Europe.
Operators and regulators may voluntarily adopt a shared standard for identifying risky gambling behaviour once it is published.
