Super Technologies has joined the Board of Directors of the European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA), as the online gambling operator looks to play a greater role in shaping industry standards and regulatory discussions across Europe.
The recent appointment follows Super’s decision to join EGBA in October 2024 and reflects the company’s increased involvement in the association’s work on consumer protection, regulatory cooperation and responsible gambling practices.
As a new board member, Super will work alongside other EGBA members to support the association’s efforts to promote a regulated and sustainable online gambling market across Europe.
Super Chief Global Affairs Officer, Borut Petek, stated: “Joining the EGBA Board is an important milestone for Super. More importantly, it reflects our belief that a strong and trusted industry can only thrive within a robust and well-functioning regulatory framework.
“Europe has the opportunity to set the global benchmark for a well-regulated gambling and betting market. Achieving this requires close cooperation between operators, regulators and policymakers, a commitment to continuously raising standards, and a shared determination to strengthen consumer protection, reinforce market integrity, tackle illegal gambling and ensure that regulated operators remain the safest choice for consumers.’’
EGBA Secretary General, Maarten Haijer, added: “Since joining EGBA, Super has been an active and committed member, and we’re delighted to welcome them to our Board. Their perspective and market expertise will be a valuable addition as we continue to promote high industry standards and a safe, competitive and well-regulated online gambling environment in Europe.”
EGBA recently welcomed the publication of a new voluntary European standard on gambling harm markers, describing it as an important step towards strengthening player protection across the industry.
Published through the national standardisation bodies of the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN), the EN 18144 standard aims to provide a common framework for identifying patterns of potentially harmful gambling behaviour.
The standard identifies nine core behavioural markers that operators can use for early identification of risky gambling patterns.
Earlier this month, EGBA filed a formal complaint with the Bank of Lithuania against payment service provider Walletto over alleged links to transactions involving illegal online gambling operators
