EGBA urges national delegates to approve European gambling harm standard
The European Gaming and Betting Association urged national delegates to approve a proposed European standard on online gambling harm markers, with voting due to close on 25 September. The voluntary standard would define behavioural indicators such as changes in play speed, time and duration; if approved, CEN expects to publish it by early 2026, while regulators would decide whether to adopt it nationally.
Approval could give operators a shared voluntary framework for identifying potentially risky online gambling behaviour.
