Cooperation, Conversation, Divergence: Global Trends in Gambling Regulation

20 Jan 2025
CC5.1
World Regulatory Briefing

Despite CEN working to develop a European standard on markers of harm and key industry associations working to bring together various global gaming standards, a growing divergence in gambling regulatory frameworks seems all but certain. On the surface, while markets like Spain and the Netherlands are both moving towards further restrictions on advertising, just how much similarity is there between these jurisdictions in practice? How does the UK’s stance on stake limits, affordability and single view compare to those in other jurisdictions? Do regulators still see value in MOUs and international dialogue as a result? How can global compliance officers stay ahead of increasing fragmentation as a result?

• Key regulatory trends to watch for in 2025: From ad ban limbos to cross-operator deposit limits.
• Diverging interests to address: Where do regulators go from here, and how will this impact the industry?
• Compliance challenges to mitigate: How global regulatory operations can be balanced with localised policy decisions.
