We will delve into crucial issues such as behaviour, communication, relationships with players and the use and impact of technology to concretely contribute to the promotion of a Responsible Gaming model based on evidence and in-depth knowledge, which above all allows us to develop proposals and preventive actions regarding excesses in gaming activity. We will also work to encourage the strengthening of regulations, institutional actions and company behavior for a concrete diffusion of responsible gaming".
