Today, LeovVegas Group is proudly sharing that we are joining the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA). As members, LeoVegas Group will collaborate with other industry leading and licensed igaming operators to foster a safe and sustainable online gambling sector in Europe. European citizens need competitive, well-regulated and well-channelled igaming markets which provide a high level of consumer protection and take account of consumer demand for entertainment.
Carl Brincat, Director of Policy & Regulatory Affairs at LeoVegas Group, commented on the membership: ” As a company committed to safer gambling and technological innovation, we look forward to contributing our expertise to EGBA’s important work. This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of leading the way towards a sustainable and well-regulated gambling industry in Europe.”
“We’re delighted to welcome LeoVegas Group to EGBA’s membership and pleased to close the year with another new member,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA. “As a leader in our industry and with strong Nordic market presence, LeoVegas Group brings valuable expertise to our association and will enhance our collective efforts to promote a well-regulated and sustainable gambling sector in Europe. We look forward to working closely with our new colleagues on our shared commitment to high industry standards.”
The EGBA annually organizes the European Safer Gambling Week, an initiative to promote safer gambling across Europe, and LeoVegas Group will continue to support this important collaborative effort.
