The announcement came before the country\u2019s nationwide event focused on gambling addiction.<\/p>\n<p>Half of the reports involved suspected illegal online gambling, while the other half concerned potential issues with legal operators. The GGL, which took over full responsibility for regulating gambling in 2023, has used these reports along with its own investigations.<\/p>\n<p>The GGL has reviewed over 1,860 websites and looked into 483 gaming providers and advertisers for illegal gambling and marketing practices. This resulted in 113 prohibition orders, with 63 operators stopping their services or pulling questionable ads in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to illegal activities, the GGL found issues in legal gambling offerings, such as problems with payout systems, inappropriate advertising, and failure to enforce deposit limits.<\/p>\n<p>GGL board member Ronald Benter commended the public\u2019s role, stating, <em>\u201cThis initiative raises awareness about the risks of gambling addiction. We all aim to prevent gambling and betting addiction.\u201d<\/em> He noted that public tips, submitted through the whistleblower system, have been crucial to enforcing player protection rules and combating illegal gambling.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The DOCV claims offshore operators account for about 20% of the online gambling market.<\/p>\n<p>This debate follows a 2023 study from the University of Leipzig, which found that just over half of gambling was channeled through legal platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Although the GGL\u2019s whistleblower system has been helpful, many of the reports lack enough detail to be thoroughly investigated.<\/p>\n<h2>Encouraging Public Participation<\/h2>\n<p>To improve the effectiveness of public reports, the GGL has published a guide explaining how to use the whistleblower system.
