EGBA Shares Five Important Things to Know About ESGW
This year’s European Safer Gambling Week (ESGW) has started. Taking place between 13-19 November, it is an annual initiative coordinated by the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) to raise awareness about safer gambling across Europe. During the week, there will be a range of events, activities and a social media campaign taking place across Europe. This is the third edition, and the EGBA has shared five important things you need to know about the initiative.
- ESGW is an industry-led awareness initiative
ESGW is a collaborative responsibility effort by EGBA, its members, other operators, as well as national associations. It is a dedicated week where the European industry comes together to increase the information shared with customers to help them play safely and promote safer practices. This year, there are 18 associations supporting the initiative, along with many operators and some national authorities.
- The priority is to promote safer gambling to customers
During the week, operators across Europe will communicate with their customers, sharing practical advice, tips and messages, and signposting the resources and support resources available, such as tools and helplines, that can help customers stay in better control of their gambling.
- There will be many free events taking place across Europe
The week offers a platform to discuss the latest safer gambling initiatives, regulations and research, and have open and honest conversations about these topics. There will be a variety of free-to-attend events happening across Europe, where stakeholders can gain insights, learn about best practices and find out more about recent developments in safer gambling.
- A social media campaign is happening – and you can participate too
The initiative also provides an opportunity for other industry stakeholders to join EGBA and its members in promoting safer gambling. During the week, stakeholders can participate in the social media campaign to share safety messages with their customers and audiences. EGBA has developed translated social media graphics for many countries to support this effort.
- There is also the possibility to join the discussions online
You can join in the ESGW discussions by following on Twitter (@EUgambling) and LinkedIn (European Gaming and Betting Association) and using the hashtag #ESGW23.
Media Troopers has added a new artificial intelligence feature to its proprietary media buying platform, Media Cruiser DSP, introducing an automation layer called Automation Rules.
The company said Automation Rules is a rules-based automation engine designed to optimise campaigns using real-time data. Media Troopers said the tool can support actions including setting price ranges, highlighting and pausing underperforming metrics, creating exclusion filters, and adjusting bids without prior manual intervention.
Media Troopers positioned the release as a way to increase output while reducing operational costs, describing the workflow as “a single click” to apply automation.
Shmulik Segal, Chief Executive of Media Troopers, said, “Media Troopers is always looking to improve its systems to ensure that clients have the best technology available to help enhance their campaigns while also saving them time. This new AI feature is sure to be a game-changer among customers when it comes to increasing marketing output by taking on board and managing client data around the clock.”

DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.
The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.
DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.
The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.
Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.
“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”
Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties.
