Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

European gaming & betting association is a regulatory body established in 2017 to replace the European betting association of 2003. It was founded by seven leading gaming operators in Europe including:

  • Bet-at-home;
  • Interwetten Gaming Limited;
  • Party Gaming;
  • Digibet;
  • Bwin;
  • Carmen Media Group;
  • Expekt Sportwetten.

It’s a non-profit organization whose finances come from membership fees and donations made by gaming operators.

Features of EGBA

One of the most outstanding qualities of EGBA is the set of rules gambling operators must comply with before joining the association. These requirements include:

  • Committing to responsible gaming
  • A casino must allow being audited from a third party
  • The casino has to offer 24/7 customer care services
  • A casino has to allow players to set their limits

Another distinguishing feature about this association is their ability to curb gambling operators from money laundering. For you to be a member of the association, you must promote social responsibility as the association is responsible too.

Duties of the European Gaming & Betting Association

First, EGBA’s main plan is to create uniform online gaming industries so that all gaming operators in Europe can offer their services across the continent. This objective is in line with European Union philosophy and therefore are taking with European countries that banning online gambling. The association also takes legal recourse against countries illegalizing online gambling or those countries monopolizing gambling in Europe.

According to the popularity of online casino in Europe, the second duty of EGBA is to facilitate fair, responsible, and secure gambling among game operators and people who use those gambling platforms. It, therefore, has come up with a code of conduct, all its members have to follow.

Similar Gambling Organizations in Europe

European Casino Association

ECA is an organization representing individual and national association operators of land-based casinos in Europe. The association represents more than 900 casinos and approximately 70,000 employees across Europe. ECA was founded in the early 90s and has since represented EU member states and non- EU countries.

The main objective of ECA is to focus on and promote issues of casinos, including casino operations. It, therefore, provides a focal point from which casino operators, stakeholders, and national policymakers can address casino matters—ideally, the association work as a source of information on anything relating to casino operations.

Also, the association aims to contribute to EU decisions on matters regarding the casino.

UKGC

United Kingdom Gambling Commission is the largest organization licensing gambling operators in the UK. For any casino to operate, whether online or offline, they have to acquire a license from UKGC. The commission, however, assign licenses only after thoroughly conducting an audit to ensure the gambling company adheres to the safety of players.

One of the main things UKGC looks at is the finances of a company and whether it has a separate players’ account holding player fund. This is important as it means even when a company goes bankrupt, it can still pay players who’ve won. Also, the commission has to look at the RTP rate. Return to player is the amount that goes back to players (not necessarily the person who deposits the bet money). So if a company states their RTP is 95%, it means the company keeps 5% of the amount a player deposit while the rest is paid to bet winners.

UKGC generally perform a thorough audit, including criminal record and ownership structure of the gambling business, to ensure British players are protected from incompetent companies.

GREF

Gaming regulator European forum is an organization with over 30 years in providing its services. The organization is a base on which members share and gather knowledge and experiences in regards to gambling. Ideally, GREF aims to provide useful materials, references, and be the source of comments in matters related to gambling. Members given access to the platform include;

  • Those who license gambling operators
  • Supervisors of the gambling sector
  • And legislators of gambling-related information in the EU, internal sovereignty, and states.

FA CHAI Gaming Introduces Player Achievement System

Published

on

fa-chai-gaming-introduces-player-achievement-system

FA CHAI Gaming has introduced its Player Achievement System, a long-term progression framework designed for online casino platforms and operator partners to drive sustained engagement, repeat play and deeper player connection.

The system moves beyond short-lived promotions by transforming everyday gameplay into structured objectives, visible progress and meaningful milestones. At the centre of this approach is the FA CHAI Card, a cross-game reward mechanism that allows player achievements to extend beyond a single game and into a broader FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem.

The Player Achievement System is more than an add-on feature—it functions as a behavioural engine designed to improve the KPIs that matter most to operators. By combining achievement-based goals, missions and progression rewards, platforms can cultivate stronger player habits and longer lifecycle value.

Sustainable retention: visible progress and long-term objectives encourage players to return consistently.

More stable engagement: achievement-driven tasks support regular activity across sessions and weeks.

Healthier wagering patterns: cumulative goals motivate play naturally, without excessive bonus dependency.

Deeper player attachment: achievements turn gameplay into a personal journey rather than isolated actions.

Stronger ecosystem loyalty: cross-game rewards reinforce attachment to the broader FA CHAI Gaming portfolio.

Many engagement tools in the market rely on short-term incentives that generate brief activity spikes followed by rapid decline. The Player Achievement System focuses instead on the drivers of repeat behavior: clarity, continuity and purpose.

Progress over promotion: players work towards ongoing achievements rather than reacting to one-time offers.

Lower friction, higher satisfaction: rewards are earned through play, reducing frustration and drop-off.

Built-in freshness: evolving goals and rotating missions help prevent engagement fatigue.

Operational efficiency: structured progression reduces the need for constant campaign rebuilding.

Designed to scale: the framework can evolve alongside platform strategy and player growth.

The Player Achievement System is designed to adapt across FA CHAI Gaming’s supported games, with initial implementation focused on slot-style gameplay. The underlying logic remains intentionally flexible, allowing future expansion into additional game experiences without restructuring the system foundation.

Player actions contribute to visible achievement progress through daily and weekly missions, turning routine gameplay into measurable advancement. As objectives are completed, players unlock new achievement tiers and long-term progression paths, creating a clear sense of growth over time.

A core pillar of the Player Achievement System is the FA CHAI Card. Serving as a cross-game reward mechanism, FA CHAI Cards allow players to convert achievements earned in one game into free game opportunities across other FA CHAI Gaming games.

This design encourages players to explore a wider range of games, experience different mechanics and creative themes and gradually become more deeply integrated into the FA CHAI Gaming ecosystem. Rather than isolating rewards within individual games, FA CHAI Cards connect progress across games, supporting long-term player journeys and cross-game engagement.

By extending progression beyond a single product, FA CHAI Cards help operators increase portfolio exposure while offering players a more cohesive and rewarding platform experience.

Optional competitive elements, such as rankings or achievement-based leaderboards, can be integrated into the system to motivate highly engaged players further. These features act as enhancers rather than requirements, preserving balance while offering additional incentives.
