How can risky gambling behavior be detected early?

EGBA stated that early detection of risky gambling behavior is one of the most effective ways to protect players. The alliance announced a free webinar it will hold on Wednesday, 18 November 2026, between 11.00 and 12.00 (CET).

The webinar will address how risky gambling appears in player behavior and data. Experts will also discuss how early warning signs can realistically be identified.

Speakers will explain how standards and regulation can help make detection more accurate and consistent. The growing role of technology and artificial intelligence in identifying risky gambling earlier is also among the program's topics.

The webinar is being held as part of European Safer Gambling Week (ESGW26), which runs from 16 to 22 November 2026. Throughout the week, a social media campaign and a series of events will take place across Europe. Posts can be shared on social media using the hashtag #ESGW26.
