Details have been released of a new participant protection conference which Allwyn, the operator of the UK National Lottery, will host in September.
The conference, taking place on Tuesday, September 23, at King Place, London, is set to feature sessions covering a range of topics – including AI, lived experience, a masterclass on measuring responsible play and digital ID and youth protection.
It will be an invite-only event for academics, practitioners and lottery stakeholders.
Guest speakers will, Allwyn said, be revealed in the coming weeks and will be made up of “leading industry experts.”
"We’re delighted to be launching a new participant protection conference demonstrating our commitment and contribution to protecting the interests of participants across the sector,” said Allwyn’s director of strategy, transformation and participant protection, Richard Dawkins.
“As the Gambling Commission’s own evidence shows, the inherent risk of problem play associated with National Lottery games is low. We have always put protecting players at the heart of what we do and we’re continuing to invest significantly in this area as we transform The National Lottery. Not only do we want people to enjoy playing The National Lottery, and to do so in a responsible way, we want to empower the rest of the lottery sector in their responsibilities to players.
“This new conference will help us achieve this goal and deliver on our ambitions to set the global industry standard for promoting participant protection.”
