In a bid to promote responsible gaming practices, create safer gaming environments, and address the problem of gambling among young people in particular, Gamble Alert, in partnership with the Association of Nigerian Bookmakers and Aropsaid Technologies Limited, has announced this year’s Responsible Gaming Symposium.

This groundbreaking event, the organisers say, will bring together industry leaders, researchers, regulatory agencies and mental health professionals to engage in meaningful discussions on promoting safety in the industry, as well as other pertinent issues.

The event, themed ‘Building a Sustainable Industry Through Responsible Gaming Practices,’ is scheduled to take place at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at NECA House Events Centre, Ikeja, Lagos.

The symposium will feature a comprehensive agenda of keynote speakers, plenary sessions, and interactive workshops, all focused on advancing responsible gaming initiatives. It is aimed at providing insights into the latest research, tools and innovative strategies that empower both gaming companies and stakeholders to prioritise player safety and well-being.

The organisers said they had successfully implemented various initiatives, including financial literacy programmes aimed at empowering individuals to make informed financial decisions.

The symposium, which attendees will include gaming regulators, policy-makers, gaming operators, treatment providers and researchers, will build on initiatives covering a range of topics, including responsible gaming for sustainability and integrity, promoting compliance and sustainability, among others.
