Sustainable Gambling Zone

The global hub for safer gambling, sustainability and industry progress

Recognised by both the Vixio Regulatory Awards and Casino Guru Awards, the SGZ has evolved from its origins as the Consumer Protection Zone into a global platform for collaboration, innovation and practical action.

In 2026, the SGZ occupied a newly redesigned, highly visible space between Halls 4 and 5, creating an open hub for product discovery, networking, debate and knowledge sharing. The Zone brought together over 30 partners and 28 exhibitor pods, showcasing solutions across AI-driven risk detection, affordability, KYC, self-exclusion, player support, ESG, DEI and sustainability.
