The Better Gambling Forum (BGF) has launched an open consultation aimed at refining and strengthening its Responsible Gambling Triple-P (RG3P) Framework, as the initiative continues to gain momentum following the publication of its report developed through formal discussions held during the United Nations General Assembly.
The BGF is inviting stakeholder input on the six core pillars of the proposed framework, which focus on key aspects of player protection including education, risk detection and intervention, support, ethical practices and research.
The consultation builds directly on the findings and priority questions outlined in the BGF’s United Nations report, which captures outcomes from workshops and multi-stakeholder discussions convened as part of the UN General Assembly held in New York in September 2025.
Participants who attended the Better Gambling Forum sessions will receive a copy of the report directly. Additional stakeholders wishing to participate in the consultation or request access to the report are invited to contact the BGF for further information.
The consultation outlines questions related to the six core pillars, while also welcoming concrete examples from different jurisdictions, the identification of stakeholders or perspectives not yet represented, research or evidence that supports or challenges the current premises, and practical considerations around implementation.
Feedback gathered through this process will directly inform the next iteration of the framework, which will be discussed and further developed through regional consultations and international forums throughout 2026, including dedicated sessions at upcoming G7 and G20 meetings.
At the same time, BGF members have recently shared updates on the initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos and ICE Barcelona, highlighting alignment with broader brain capital and prevention agendas, as well as how the work is translating into tangible policy development and industry engagement.
The Better Gambling Forum is a multi-stakeholder initiative of the Brain Capital Alliance, in collaboration with the G7/G20, the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, and aims to establish a unified, evidence-based approach to player protection and harm prevention on a global scale.
Shawn Fluharty, Chair of the BGF Steering Committee and Head of Government Affairs at Play’n GO, said:
“We launched the six pillars of the RG3P last year, providing jurisdictions with a practical blueprint for establishing a gold standard in harm prevention, treatment and regulation. Following extensive discussions with policymakers, researchers, regulators and industry executives, areas requiring further examination were identified, and we now welcome stakeholder feedback to strengthen these policies.
“Significant work remains, particularly meaningful consultation with indigenous communities and a deeper exploration of how cultural context should inform responsible gambling frameworks. These concepts are presented not as finished products, but as working hypotheses that require further input, challenge and refinement.”Responses to the consultation or requests for access to the United Nations report can be submitted via the BGF website contact form.
