World Gaming plans to launch an ICE Research Institute-funded study at IGE Rome, the company said. Milan’s Polytechnic School of Management and Human Tech, part of the University Polytechnic of Valencia, are undertaking the project, which will examine how responsible-gambling messages affect risky behaviour.
The study could inform responsible-gambling messaging used by operators and policymakers.

A FAIR-Ipsos study presented in Rome found that 80% of surveyed Italians considered communication important or fundamental to preventing gambling-related disorders, while 21% recalled a responsible-gambling campaign in the past year. The study surveyed 1,000 people aged 18 to 70 and interviewed 30 opinion leaders; 44% rated the sector's development over the previous one or two years negatively.
Responsible gambling communication does not yet leave a mark on people's memories, citing Ipsos Doxa research for Fondazione FAIR's observatory on responsible gambling. The study examines how the sector is perceived and how effective its communication is.
