Gamble Alert, in partnership with the Association of Nigerian Bookmakers and Aropsaid Technologies Limited, will host a ground-breaking symposium on responsible gaming, with the theme, ‘Building a Sustainable Industry Through Responsible Gaming Practices’. The event will bring together industry leaders, researchers, regulatory agencies, and mental health professionals to engage in meaningful discussions on promoting responsible gambling practices, creating safer gaming environments, and addressing problem gambling.
Scheduled to take place on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at NECA House Events Centre, Ikeja, Lagos, the symposium will feature a comprehensive agenda of keynote speakers, plenary sessions, and interactive workshops, all focused on advancing responsible gaming initiatives. It aims to provide insights into the latest research, tools, and innovative strategies that empower gaming companies and stakeholders to prioritise player safety and well-being.
As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting responsible gaming, GambleAlert has successfully implemented various initiatives, including financial literacy programmes to empower individuals to make informed financial decisions. The advocacy body has also deepened participation in its flagship programme, ‘Across the Wave’, which facilitates community and industry engagement through public forums and expert discussions, providing valuable insights into public opinion and industry best practices.
The symposium will build on these initiatives, covering a range of topics, including responsible gaming for sustainability and integrity, promoting compliance and sustainability, and treating and supporting problem gamblers. The symposium is a critical step towards promoting healthier gaming practices and reducing problem gaming. Attendees will include gaming regulators, policymakers, gaming operators, treatment providers and researchers.
