Reading time: 2 minutes The Gaming Commission (GC), in association with the “Federale Minuut”, has launched a new video dedicated to the EPIS system. This is the system that offers players the opportunity to take a break when gambling threatens to get out of control.
The Federale Minuut
The Federale Minuut is an initiative aimed at sharing short informative videos on various federal news topics in an original way. The FPS Chancellery and the Gaming Commission have joined forces to create a federal minute on gambling and its risks. The aim of this video is to raise awareness of gambling addiction and inform the public about self-exclusion through EPIS. With this video, the Gaming Commission not only wants to inform, but also encourage people to gamble responsibly.
By keeping the content accessible and original, the Federal Minute videos reach a wide audience. They are regularly shared via social networks such as LinkedIn and Youtube where they are easy to find.
Why EPIS?
The importance of EPIS was already widely discussed during the European Safer Gambling Week that took place last week.
During this event, the president of the GC, Magali Clavie, also highlighted the importance of EPIS in combating gambling addiction. According to Clavie, EPIS is an important element of a broader strategy aimed at protecting players from the risks associated with gambling. The system encourages responsible gambling behavior by making players aware of their gambling habits and helping them to intervene in time.
In addition to promoting EPIS, the Gaming Commission is also calling for more action from gambling operators. Clavie stressed that companies that offer gambling have an important role to play in recognising and preventing gambling problems. This means that they must not only comply with legal obligations, but also act proactively if players show signs of addiction.
The Gambling Commission is calling on operators to use technology and data analytics to detect risky behaviour patterns. By reacting quickly, companies can help reduce gambling addiction and protect vulnerable players.
