Casino Guru is proud to announce the commencement of the third stage of the Self-exclusion Standards project, an initiative led by Dr Margaret Carran, Associate Professor in Law and Associate Dean (Education) at the at The City Law School of City, University of London and sponsored by Casino Guru.
The Self-exclusion Standards project aims to identify the best practice in online gambling self-exclusion in order to help maximise the level of player protection and to help build a robust process of self-exclusion to enable such schemes to truly become an effective barrier between players who struggle with controlling their gambling habits and online gambling in general.
To arrive at a solution, the Self-exclusion Standards project embarked on a comprehensive journey, that fostered cooperation with international stakeholders to create a set of online self-exclusion recommendations that will be available for adoption across different jurisdictions. Previous stages included comprehensive research of existing evidence and a series of meetings of 10 international stakeholders with diverse expertise and experience with online self-exclusion.  To this end, the Self-exclusion Standards project is now entering its final stage, where it will explicitly seek broader consultations with online gambling stakeholders.
Dr.  Carran said of the final stage of the project: “Our draft set of recommendations is based on extensive deliberations of international experts and we believe that it presents the most optimal online self-exclusion code of practice for operators. We now need external feedback to drive inclusion, to gain broader input from all interested stakeholders, including international regulators and the industry to ensure that our final recommendations  could indeed be adopted globally for the benefit of players and the industry alike”. 
Ultimately, the project will culminate in a comprehensive paper consisting of the final Code for Online Self-Exclusion Practice that will be publicly available so it can serve as a reference point for the industry and other interested parties. The paper will assist in driving further research in this field, and will also serve as a stepping-stone for broader discussion about self-exclusion processes, and how existing practices can be re-examined and reinvented.
This final stage seeks broader collaboration specifically to obtain valuable and actionable feedback that can be leveraged to provide quality conclusions that help establish a robust set of recommendations, and that are based on the broader knowledge of the industry. 
This external feedback will help streamline the project’s efforts as it seeks to position itself firmly in the heart of industry as an efficient and effective tool. Consultation is open from now through to September 10, 2024. Preliminary findings will be presented at the EASG Conference 2024 and the final code due to be ready in January 2025.
Šimon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead, noted: “We want to engage the broader industry to increase the impact and benefits of the project. A lot of good work stays on paper or in journals without usage in the real world. We want to change it by actively engaging with the industry.

Bettingbladet Aims to Become Sweden’s Central Hub for Gambling Industry News & Trends

bettingbladet-aims-to-become-sweden’s-central-hub-for-gambling-industry-news-&-trends

Bettingbladet.se, a Swedish gambling industry news platform, announced its ambition to establish itself as a central source for news, analysis and market insight covering the Swedish gambling sector.

As the Swedish gambling market continues to evolve through regulatory change, new product launches, shifting payment solutions and increased investor interest in listed gambling companies, Bettingbladet aims to provide broader and more transparent coverage of the industry in one place.

The platform’s editorial focus goes beyond traditional comparison content and promotional offers. Instead, Bettingbladet seeks to cover the companies, trends and personalities shaping the sector, while also making the market more accessible for readers with an interest in gambling-related shares and publicly traded sector companies.

“Sweden has produced some of the gambling industry’s most influential companies, yet there is still a lack of accessible and transparent editorial coverage bringing the sector together in one place. Our ambition is to make the industry easier to follow for players, investors and professionals alike,” said Mikael Peränen, Editor-in-Chief of Bettingbladet.

Bettingbladet said it plans to monitor developments across operators, suppliers and adjacent gambling businesses, while also highlighting broader industry movements and the individuals behind them. The site aims to offer readers a clearer understanding of both current developments and the structural shifts influencing the market.

In addition to reporting on new products and market developments, Bettingbladet intends to provide context around the evolution of the Nordic gambling industry. This includes historical perspectives on how the sector was shaped during earlier growth phases, including the poker boom years and the rise of Malta as a key hub for Swedish iGaming entrepreneurship and expertise.

“There is strong interest not only in what is happening now, but also in how this industry was built and who helped shape it. We want to keep readers informed about new trends, while also bringing forward the stories, companies and individuals that matter,” Peränen continues,” Peränen said.

Transparency is a central part of the platform’s positioning. In a sector where affiliate-driven business models are common, Bettingbladet said it aims to clearly distinguish between editorial content, analysis and commercial collaborations.

“We believe transparency and honesty are essential for building long-term trust. That is especially important in an industry where the lines between marketing and media have often been unclear,” Peränen added.

Bettingbladet is currently in an early growth phase and plans to expand its coverage over time, with the ambition of building a broader archive of Swedish gambling industry news, analysis and company-related reporting.
