The International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) has appointed four new trustees to its Board, bringing regulatory expertise from various global regions.
The appointments include Anders Dorph from the Danish Gambling Authority, Peter Kesitilwe Emolemo of Botswana’s Gambling Authority, Kevin Mullally representing the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority in Asia/Oceania and Louis Rogacki from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Each trustee brings knowledge and experience from distinct jurisdictions, aiming to enhance IAGR’s ability to address diverse regulatory challenges.
IAGR President Ben Haden said: "I’m delighted to welcome our four new trustees to the IAGR Board. Their diverse expertise and leadership across different jurisdictions will bring fresh perspectives to our work, further strengthening our global approach to gaming regulation."
Haden added: "We also extend a big thank you to Trude Høgseth Felde and Mabutho Zwane for their dedicated service as they complete their terms on the Board and I’m pleased to announce that Jason Lane will continue for another term as a Trustee."
The new appointments coincide with IAGR’s preparations for its 2025 annual conference in Toronto, Canada, scheduled for 20-23 October. The conference will bring together gaming regulators to discuss industry developments, share best practices and examine trends in responsible gambling and regulatory innovation. Registration for the event is set to open in early 2025.
In October 2024, IAGR presented the Danish Gambling Authority with the "Best Regulatory Campaign" award at its annual conference in Rome for a youth gambling prevention initiative.
This campaign, titled "The One-Armed Bandit," reached Danish teenagers through social media and humour, helping to increase awareness about gambling risks.
Post-campaign surveys indicated that 44% of viewers felt the campaign prompted them to rethink their gambling habits and 41% reported that it sparked conversations on gambling awareness among their peers.
