Responsible Gaming Day (RGD) – http://www.responsiblegamingday.eu – provides an opportunity for interested stakeholders to participate in a fact-based discussion of best practices for responsible gaming and betting in the EU.

This year will be the fourth edition of RGD. The first edition in 2008 opened the debate by a broad discussion of the numerous issues the sector faces. In 2009, RGD focused on “Integrity and Sport” and last year the spotlight was on the gambling sector’s contribution to the Digital Agenda and the announcement of the Green Paper on online gambling in the Internal Market.

This year’s programme will seek to generate an informed and vibrant discussion that will make a real contribution to the policy discussions following the Green Paper consultation and the European Parliament’s own initiative report. Discussions will focus on the regulatory framework required at EU level and the possible role of standards as a response to the challenges and opportunities identified.

Activities will focus on an afternoon roundtable ‘Online gambling: a substitute or building block for an EU framework?’ followed by an opportunity to experience live demonstrations of the internet tools that are available to ensure responsible gambling.
