European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) Information

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) is the Brussels-based trade association representing the leading online gambling operators established, licensed, and regulated within the EU. In a rapidly growing and evolving sector, the EGBA is at the forefront of promoting a competitive and well-regulated online gambling sector in Europe. EGBA works collaboratively with national and EU authorities, along with other stakeholders, to promote an online gambling market that prioritises consumer protection and accomodates the realities of the internet and online consumer demand. The association advocates for regulations which ensure that the regulated online gambling offer is attractive to players and is effective in directing them away from unregulated offers. A key objective of EGBA is to promote a safe and sustainable online gambling sector in Europe. To support this objective, our members adhere to various EGBA industry standards and codes, in addition to the stringent licensing requirements that they already adhere to in the European countries where they operate. Our members meet the highest regulatory standards and together possess 267 online gambling licenses, each with its own compliance requirements, enabling them to serve 31.2 million customers across 22 different European countries. Collectively, they contribute to approximately one-third of Europe’s online gambling gross gaming revenue (GGR). Members of EGBA also participate in the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) which drives industry efforts in sports integrity and the prevention of match-fixing. The association has established an alert platform and information sharing agreements with leading governing bodies of sports, including FIFA and the IOC. EGBA is registered to the EU Transparency register since 2009 with the number 29508582413-52.
