Responsible Marketing for Gambling Operators

Event Phone: +44 7734 215166

  • October 3, 2018
    9:00 am - 4:30 pm

This conference is designed to help give gambling operators the tools you need to understand the changing regulatory landscape around promotions, avoid costly regulatory action and develop marketing strategies that will enable you to attract new players in a responsible way.

There is a lot of pressure on operators to look at the way they attract and retain players whilst upholding the key objectives of the 2005 Gambling act.

(a)preventing gambling from being a source of crime or disorder, being associated with crime or disorder or being used to support crime,

(b)ensuring that gambling is conducted in a fair and open way, and

(c)protecting children and other vulnerable persons from being harmed or exploited by gambling.

This year operators have been required to make changes to promotional terms following a joint investigation from the UK Gambling Commission and the Competition and Markets Authority into shared concerns about unfair terms and practices. In recent months we have seen operators formally penalised and fined for advertising and marketing failures.

Negative media coverage of the industry continues to drive public opinion and customers are more likely than ever to vote with their feet if they feel operators are treating them unfairly or misleading them with sharp promotions or marketing practices.

This full day will bring stakeholders together from across the industry, lift the lid on the issues and provide insight into new and innovative ways to attract a changing audience.

  • Senior management at gambling operators
  • Marketing professionals
  • Compliance and player protection professionals at gambling operators
  • In-house lawyers at gambling operators
