The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has locked in the dates for the next edition of European Safer Gambling Week. From November 17 to 23, the initiative will return for its fifth year, continuing its focus on raising awareness around safer gambling practices across Europe.
The week-long campaign brings together a broad range of voices in the gambling sector, from operators and regulators to support organizations and researchers. Together, they aim to promote responsible gambling habits and encourage an open dialogue around player protection.
Good to know
- European Safer Gambling Week 2025 runs from November 17 to 23.
- The campaign reached 3.1 million social media users last year.
- Over 3000 people attended related events in 2024.
Backed by a social media push and a slate of workshops, the 2025 edition will focus on sharing practical tips, highlighting support resources, and encouraging discussions on new developments in gambling regulation and research. The campaign also helps stakeholders align on best practices and strengthen cross-industry cooperation.
Last year’s edition saw the highest engagement to date, with 195 partners across 26 countries taking part. The campaign’s safer gambling messages reached more than 3.1 million users online, and 20 in-person events welcomed over 3,000 attendees.
EGBA Secretary General Maarten Haijer reflected on the momentum from 2024, calling it a strong foundation for this year’s efforts. “We’re pleased to announce the dates for European Safer Gambling Week 2025 and are excited to build on the exceptional momentum of last year’s campaign,” he said.
He also emphasized the importance of working together across the sector. “The initiative has become Europe’s leading platform for safer gambling awareness and last year brought together a record coalition of 195 partners across 26 countries to promote player protection. This is a shared commitment and we invite organisations across the industry to join us for this year’s edition and help us foster a strong culture of safe and sustainable gambling in Europe.”
Participation is open to any organization with a stake in gambling, including technology providers and experts-by-experience. As the initiative continues to grow, EGBA hopes even more players in the industry will contribute to shaping safer gambling habits across the continent.
