In a significant move towards fostering safer gambling, Evolution and Playtech have collaborated with Spillebranchen, the industry body dedicated to establishing robust standards in the evolving gambling sector. The initiative focuses on creating responsible and sustainable gambling practices, providing guidelines for both existing and new businesses. Spillebranchen, boasting a stellar lineup of companies like Betsson, Betfair, bet365, LeoVegas, and more, welcomes this partnership as a valuable addition to their efforts.
Denmark, recognized by the European Gaming and Betting Association for its exemplary regulation, continues to evolve and improve its gambling industry. The recently launched website, StyrPåSpillet.dk, aims to promote understanding of responsible gambling and address problem gambling. Targeting vulnerable age groups, particularly those between 13 and 15, the platform emphasizes prevention.
A study by Spillemyndigheden revealed that 15% of young people aged 15 to 17 are engaged in gambling, prompting specific attention to this demographic in the new portal's materials. Denmark has also expanded its land-based self-exclusion program, ROFUS, to include land-based venues, reinforcing consumer protections. The introduction of Payer ID in September demonstrates Denmark's commitment to personalized protection through deposit limits, enhancing the overall gambling experience.
Denmark's efforts underscore its commitment to a tightly regulated industry that prioritizes local gamblers' well-being, steering clear of offshore gambling sites.
