GREF and NAGRA announce closer working partnership
New collaboration aims to strengthen links between regulators on both sides of the Atlantic
The Gambling Regulators European Forum (GREF) and the North America Gaming Regulators Association (NAGRA) have committed to enhancing their collaboration with a focus on building greater knowledge exchange.
Both organizations, which bring together around 100 regulators across Europe and North America, will host joint meetings for relevant interest groups, extend invitations to attend and speak at each other’s annual conferences and host seminars on emerging regulatory risks.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, president of the French gambling regulator ANJ and the chair of GREF, said: “With public opinion across the globe more and more concerned about the risks related to excessive gambling offer and with the increase of gambling markets and innovations, exchange between regulators worldwide is crucial.
“Regulators of GREF and NAGRA face the same issues, and I believe that this collaboration will improve the protection of our consumers.”
Ryan Winfield, special agent at the Arizona Department of Gaming and president of NAGRA, added: “The power of partnership and collaboration between GREF and NAGRA is important in this ever-evolving industry.
“The changing landscape and the future of gaming makes it imperative that we reach out to other organisations in the industry in order to remain informed as we tirelessly serve our communities.
“This commitment to collaboration and communication will serve people across the globe.”
