EGBA welcomes LeoVegas Group as its newest member

The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) has welcomed online gambling operator LeoVegas as its newest member. According to EGBA, the partnership strengthens "its position as the leading voice for Europe’s online gambling sector" and comes at an important time when the European Commission is considering new legislation affecting digital sectors.

"LeoVegas Group’s membership of EGBA demonstrates its commitment to advancing industry cooperation and standards, and will also strengthen EGBA’s representation in countries where the company has a strong presence, including the Nordics," according to a release.

LeoVegas Group will now begin contributing to EGBA’s working groups and to the association’s initiatives on responsible advertising, safer gambling, and the implementation of EU anti-money laundering rules.

Carl Brincat, Director of Policy & Regulatory Affairs at LeoVegas, stated: “As a company committed to safer gambling and technological innovation, we look forward to contributing our expertise to EGBA’s important work. This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of leading the way towards a sustainable and well-regulated gambling industry in Europe.”

"As a leader in our industry and with a strong Nordic market presence, LeoVegas Group brings valuable expertise to our association and will enhance our collective efforts to promote a well-regulated and sustainable gambling sector in Europe. "
