In a first for both organizations, the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) and the International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) announce a collaboration aimed at maximizing opportunities for effective and efficient gaming regulation.
In announcing the initiative, IAGR President Mabutho Zwane said, “As regulators, we recognize that dialogue with industry is fundamental to both understand the sector and make informed decisions which can advance efficient and effective gambling regulation.”
“This is particularly important at this time where there is opportunity to leverage technology to drive innovation in regulatory practice,” IGSA President Peter DeRaedt said. “IGSA is the single technology-standards-setting organization in the gaming industry. We strongly believe that collective dialogue with regulatory authorities on an international level is crucial to enhance regulatory oversight while driving efficiencies for operators and suppliers. Our collaboration with IAGR is an enormous step forward towards the betterment of the gaming industry as a whole.”
The initiative will focus on two key priorities over the coming year: discussion and information exchange concerning known and emerging issues impacting regulatory policy and practice; and identifying opportunities to leverage standards and technology to advance efficient and effective gaming regulation.
