On February 17th, we celebrated the annual International Responsible Gambling Day. Its origins trace back to 2008 when it was initiated with the support of the European Betting and Gaming Association (EGBA) and UNESCO. The goal is to emphasize the importance of responsible gambling, promote harm prevention in the gaming industry, and raise awareness about gambling addiction.
Simultaneously, the day aims to advocate for ethical perspectives on luck-based gambling, such as slot machines, and share information about healthy gaming habits. Additionally, it seeks to enhance understanding of the serious consequences of addiction related to gambling, betting, and online gambling in general.
Through this campaign, we want to remind all players that gaming should be enjoyable leisure time and not consume all of their free time.
