Various organisations are involved in dealing with issues such as problem
gambling, player protection and protection of minors.
We review the main associations and alliances that are involved in setting

problem gambling programmes. Some of these associations are not-for-profit and
have been set up by the industry to promote fair competition and consumer choice
