Advertising standards. Placement, inducement language and the visibility of responsible gambling messaging are the most active areas of consultation.
Player protection. Pre-commitment tooling, session reminders and staff-facing prompts, together with the unresolved question of how effectiveness should be measured.
Oversight and surveillance. Documentation standards, access control over recorded material and governance of automated flagging tools.
