Sustainable Gambling

Moving beyond ethics and culture statements, this session maps the operational steps toward sustainable gambling. Panellists discuss measurable benchmarks — from continuous player risk auditing and transparent impact reporting to embedding safer-play KPIs across departments. Includes debate on how CEN’s new Markers of Harm will impact the industry, and whether the focus instead should be on Markers of Positive Play.
