(RG3P) Framework, a six-pillar model developed in partnership with global institutions including the UN, G7/G20, and World Economic Forum, to establish a coordinated, evidence- based standard for gambling harm prevention and player protection worldwide.


Shawn Fluharty, Chair of the BGF Steering Committee and Head of Government Affairs at Play'n GO, said: “Tis initiative, a response to the growing need for coordinated, evidence-based responses to gambling-related harm, aims to future-proof gambling and public health policy by identifying and elevating scalable, evidence- informed practices.”

u


Pillar 2: Risk Detection & Intervention: Developing and implementing tools to identify and support at-risk individuals with timely interventions.


u


Pillar 3: Support, Treatment & Recovery: Ensuring access to effective support, treatment, and recovery services for those in need.


u


Pillar 4: Gambling Environment, Product & Marketing: Establishing standards for gambling environments, products, and marketing to minimize harm.


u


Pillar 5: Ethical Industry Practices & Accountability: Promoting transparent and ethical practices within the industry and holding operators accountable for player safety.


u


Pillar 6: Research, Evaluation, & Sustainable Funding: Advocating for continuous research, evaluation of policies, and sustainable funding models to support ongoing efforts.


Paul Pellizzari, a committee member and Vice President of Hard Rock International & Seminole Gaming, said: “Our mission is to create a practical, comprehensive framework that can be adopted across jurisdictions to strengthen existing player protection measures. By focusing on these six pillars, we can provide a clear and actionable path forward that puts public and brain health first.”
