WhyiGaming supports European Safer Gambling Week, which kicks off on Monday 17th October. The European Safer Gambling Week is an annual cross-border initiative to promote safer gambling in Europe and was established by EGBA in 2021. It is supported by a group of European online gambling associations, including EGBA, iGEN and their members, who come together each year to encourage open and honest conversations about safer gambling in Europe.

This year’s European Safer Gambling Week is taking place between 17-23 October 2022, and there is a full schedule of events and webinars taking place. You can see the full agenda here: https://igenorg.eu/sgw/
