Publication date to be confirmed

Beyond the Tick-Box: Is iGaming Doing Enough to Protect Its Players?

Feature overview & who can contribute

Player protection is central to iGaming’s policies and public commitments. But how much of that commitment becomes meaningful action? This feature explores the gap between demonstrating compliance on paper and genuinely embedding player safety into business operations. We’re seeking constructive, candid perspectives on what works, how success is measured and what needs to change.

Who we’d like to hear from

Operators, regulators, compliance professionals, responsible gambling specialists, technology providers and industry leaders.

Explore the questions & contribution brief
  1. What does genuine player safety mean for your business, beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements?
  2. Is there a risk that responsible gambling has become a tick-box exercise within the iGaming industry?
  3. How can operators demonstrate that their player protection measures are genuinely effective?
  4. Are current regulatory frameworks encouraging meaningful player protection or primarily focusing on compliance procedures?
  5. What needs to change to ensure player wellbeing becomes a fundamental part of business strategy rather than simply a regulatory obligation?

An open discussion about the difference between demonstrating compliance and delivering genuine player protection.

An extension of our Women in iGaming series

Feature overview & who can contribute

Behind the business milestones are women navigating both senior leadership and motherhood. Through honest personal stories, this feature explores family life, international teams, travel, ambition and the difficult decisions that rarely appear in a professional biography. It is a celebration of resilience and achievement, as well as a conversation about how iGaming can better support working mothers.

Who we’d like to hear from

Female founders, CEOs, COOs, CMOs, directors, entrepreneurs and senior executives who are also mothers.

Explore the questions & contribution brief
  1. Can you introduce yourself, your role within the iGaming industry and tell us a little about your family?
  2. What does a typical day look like when you are balancing motherhood with the demands of a senior leadership position?
  3. Has becoming a mother changed the way you approach leadership, decision-making or managing people?
  4. What has been the biggest challenge of building your career or business while raising a family?
  5. Have you ever felt that you needed to choose between being present as a mother and progressing professionally?
  6. Do you believe the iGaming industry provides enough flexibility and support for women in leadership roles who are also mothers?
  7. What are you most proud of achieving, both personally and professionally?
  8. What advice would you give to other women who aspire to senior leadership positions but are concerned about balancing their ambitions with motherhood?

Celebrate mothers in leadership, challenge outdated perceptions and inspire the next generation of female iGaming leaders.
