Boardroom: Does the Sector Need a New Social Contract Extending Beyond Conventional Responsible Gambling?

To examine, informed by emerging IRI research into how sustainable gambling is understood and applied across different jurisdictions and stakeholder groups, whether the current concept of responsible gambling remains sufficient, and what a broader, more sustainable model of shared responsibility between industry, consumers, regulators and wider society could look like.

• If responsibility is increasingly shared between consumers, industry, regulators and wider society, where should that responsibility sit and what should each party reasonably be accountable for?
• What evidence and commitments would be needed to demonstrate meaningful progress rather than simply a change in language?
• Is greater social legitimacy a realistic outcome of a more sustainable model, or will gambling always remain an inherently emotive and divisive issue?
