•

Reading time: 2 minutes In barely a year, the National Gaming Authority (ANJ) has passed a symbolic milestone: more than 2,000 certificates have been issued thanks to its innovative e-learning module. Here’s a look back at a success story that reflects the growing commitment of industry professionals.
Immersive training for a complex issue
The e-learning module launched by the ANJ offers an immersive experience within a 3D recreated casino. For around an hour, learners are immersed in the dynamic environment of a gaming establishment, alternating between explanatory videos, practical cases and multiple-choice questionnaires. This interactive format enables professionals to familiarise themselves with the tools and best practices for identifying and supporting gamblers in difficulty.
Since its launch, the module has been a resounding success. In just a few months, more than 1,000 certificates have been issued, and in one year this number has risen to 2,000. This figure exceeds the ANJ’s initial expectations and testifies to the commitment of industry professionals.
The ANJ is delighted with this commitment and hopes that the momentum will continue to strengthen player protection.
A worrying context
There is growing concern about problem gambling behaviour. A 2021 study revealed that more than a third of French teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have played gambling, and one in five of these have been identified as high-risk gamblers. These figures underline the importance of effective and appropriate prevention.
Since 2021, a reference framework has imposed strict obligations on operators in terms of excessive gambling prevention. This includes drawing up annual action plans and implementing practical measures in gaming establishments. The ANJ is committed to compliance, encouraging operators to deploy the necessary resources to achieve the objectives set by the law.
