Social Responsibility has been confirmed as a top priority on the learning agenda at the first ever iGaming Education Forum, taking place during the SiGMA Conference in November (16/17/18), with key training sessions on compliance across the gaming industry to be delivered by experts from a variety of sectors. The Forum’s organisers, Malta-based iGaming Academy in partnership with SiGMA and the Malta Gaming Authority, have cemented their vision to “grow the industry through education” with the entire first day of the event dedicated to Compliance in iGaming, and focusing on topics such as responsible gaming, anti-money laundering and fraud prevention.
Social Responsibility in Gaming
Explaining their commitment to compliance across the gaming industry, iGaming Academy Director, Jaime Debono, stated: “Ensuring that companies act responsibly and meet their regulatory obligations is crucially important to the iGaming sector and gaming as a whole, not just to safeguard individuals, but to preserve the legacy of the industry too. It’s imperative that social responsibility is highlighted as a priority in the industry which is why our interactive and comprehensive courses are designed and delivered by leading industry experts and made suitable for any employee in a gaming or gaming-related operation, as well as attendees looking to enter into the industry.
“The gaming industry has overcome many pitfalls and prejudices over the years and it’s heartening to see so much progression surrounding the potential harms associated with gambling in the 21st Century. However, there are still areas the industry needs to focus on and develop, which is why we are proud to be dedicating an entire day to compliance and the policies and practices used to promote consumer protection and awareness,” he added. “Backed by over 80 years of gaming experience and with a fundamental aim to deliver the first education driven forum at SiGMA, we are looking forward to driving real change with our comprehensive compliance training programs in November.”
