LeoVegas has moved to strengthen its understanding of and presence in safer and responsible gambling as part of a collaboration with a prominent medical university.

The Stockholm-based igaming and betting operator has partnered with Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Stockholm, launching a four-year research project.

LeoVegas is providing funding and raw data for the search team, which will commence the project in autumn 2022 with an end goal of improving problem gambling identification and prevention.

“Responsible gaming is an important priority for LeoVegas Group,” remarked Gustaf Hagman, CEO of LeoVegas Group. “We believe that our industry must take greater responsibility for contributing knowledge and facts about gambling-related problems and learning how to minimise these issues.
