This session examines how standardised self-exclusion systems, unified player-protection indicators, and consistent product characteristics can help consumers distinguish between licensed and unlicensed operators. Panellists discuss the development of cross-market frameworks for transparency, visible trust markers, and coordinated auditing that strengthen both player protection and confidence in the regulated ecosystem. Are efforts making a real difference for players?
