Play’n Go to represent industry in gambling policy discussions at G7, G20, and UN
Casino software developer Play’n Go will lead a range of sessions on responsible gambling policy at G7, G20, and United Nations meetings taking place this year, starting with a meeting of the G7 this week.
Play’n Go Head of Government Affairs Shawn Fluharty will lead a session on 13 June at the G7 Leaders Summit in Calgary, as part of the inaugural Global Forum on Responsible Gambling and Gambling Policy.
The event is the first of a three-part series, with the company also participating in the G20 Summit and United Nations General Assembly later in 2025.
The meetings aim to produce recommendations for international policy on public health, youth protection, innovation, and societal prosperity.
“Positioning responsible gaming at the world’s premier policy forums is vital to ensuring regulation keeps pace with rapid innovation and effectively protects consumers,” Fluharty said.
“As the only online supplier engaging directly at the G7 Forum on Responsible Gaming and Gambling Policy, and soon at the G20 Summit and United Nations General Assembly, Play’n Go’s presence will showcase the critical value of early collaboration with lawmakers and regulators in forging cohesive, global standards.”
Play’n Go had advocated for increased online gambling regulation in the last several years.
On 6 May, Chief Executive Johan Tornqvist, announced that the company would not supply games to sweepstakes casinos, citing the lack of a regulated framework around social casinos and its commitment to regulated markets.
