The 2025 Safe Gambling Week is scheduled for November 17th to 23rd, focusing particularly on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in player protection within the gambling industry. Major European operators such as Playtech and Flutter Entertainment are taking active steps through technological collaboration to promote responsible gambling, aiming to identify risks early and enhance player experience.
Overview of Safe Gambling Week and the Importance of AI
Safe Gambling Week is a cross-industry event that has been held for many years, aimed at promoting safe player behavior. The 2025 event is tagged with #SGWeek and #SGWeek25, led by the European Gambling Association. Playtech points out that AI technology is crucial for player protection, as machine learning can analyze millions of data points to detect risks early and intervene before harm occurs.
Corporate Actions: Initiatives by Flutter and Playtech
Flutter Entertainment is hosting a company-wide conference this week, where CEOs from various brands share best practices for responsible gambling as part of the "Play Well" initiative. They are also collaborating with EPIC Global Solutions to hold experience-sharing sessions to educate employees on driving progress. Playtech is using the event to emphasize the core role of AI, exploring generative AI to provide personalized support, but stresses the need for industry collaboration.
Event Effectiveness and Data Review
