In the heart of November, the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) orchestrated a dazzling spectacle – the 2023 European Safer Gambling Week. This wasn't just another awareness campaign, it was a digital revolution that shattered expectations and left a major mark on responsible gambling advocacy.
Social Media Tsunami - 8 Million Strong Messages
Picture this, 8 million safer gambling messages cascading through the vast landscape of social media. From bustling cities to serene countrysides, the campaign echoed across 20 European countries, delivering a powerful message on responsible gambling practices.
The digital tsunami surged with a 430% increase in engagement, proving that the call for responsible gambling resonated far and wide.
This wasn't a solo act – it was a symphony of collaboration. Over 160 partners, a formidable league comprising operators, trade associations, harm-prevention organizations, and national gambling authorities, stood shoulder to shoulder. Their collective strength underlined a growing acknowledgment – safer gambling is not just a priority; it's a collective responsibility.
Breaking language barriers, the campaign spoke in over 20 national languages. Safer gambling wasn't just a concept, it became accessible, tangible, and relatable. The initiative delivered practical resources, including safety tools and tips, creating a multilingual tapestry of responsible gambling advocacy.
The extravaganza wasn't confined to the digital realm. Across Europe, 18 localized events unfolded, each a unique exploration into the theme of safer gambling. Imagine vibrant discussions led by industry maestros, academic virtuosos, and representatives from national gambling authorities. It wasn't just an event, it was a dynamic celebration of safer gambling ideals.
