It’s already 15 years since February 17th has been designated as International Responsible Gambling Day in Finland, and 2024 is not an exception. Supported by the European Gaming and Betting Association and UNESCO, this day shows the commitment of society and the gambling environment to responsible playing principles. The objective is to promote healthy gaming habits among players and spread information about possible problems among casino enthusiasts.

The main statement is that gambling should be entertainment. The possibility of winning cash prizes and other benefits is just a great accompaniment to the action, but not the primary goal. Thus, law updates by the governments of some countries are dedicated to safeguarding players and easing the process of quitting gaming.

Therefore, some foreign websites and platforms do not provide fans with enough information about these principles. With no control, enthusiasts appear to play in an unsafe place with high risks, where they can overextend their budgets.

Kind of similar campaigns take part in different regions and are supported by various organizations. For example, the Betting and Gambling Council’s annual Safer Gambling Week occurs each November in the UK.
