The vote, which closes on 25 September 2025 at the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), could deliver a common benchmark for how the industry identifies risky player behaviour online.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Go<strong><em>od to Know<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>The standard would define a shared set of behavioural signals, such as sudden changes in playing time or speed.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>It has been developed through collaboration between regulators, academics, operators, and harm prevention experts.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><em>If adopted, the framework could be published in early 2026 and applied voluntarily by EU countries.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p>At the heart of the proposal is the concept of \u201cmarkers of harm.\u201d These are measurable behavioural patterns that, when assessed collectively, help detect when a player may be at risk of developing harmful gambling habits. By creating a unified set of indicators, the standard aims to support earlier interventions and strengthen consumer protection measures across Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative has been in development since EGBA first approached CEN in 2022. Throughout the process, experts from multiple disciplines \u2013 from gambling regulation to public health \u2013 have contributed through national standardisation delegations. The Gambling Regulators European Forum (GREF) has already voiced its support, signalling strong regulatory alignment.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges today is that while many operators already use behavioural markers, there is no single framework that defines which actions should be considered warning signs. EGBA\u2019s proposal is designed to close that gap, giving regulators and operators a shared evidence-based tool.<\/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\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.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\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax 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>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
