In various European jurisdictions, there is a discussion going on about the question “How to regulate addiction prevention for slot machines effectively?”. What is the solution in Norway? What are the effects? What can we learn from it? What did we learn from the key note address? Could those lessons be applied to slot machines?

Exclusion systems

-Presentation + discussion Belgium, Denmark (tbc) and Spain (tbc)

(Palace Suite A)

In what way did various European jurisdictions organise their exclusion systems? What are the lessons to be learned for (other) jurisdictions that are considering introducing an exclusion system? Pros and cons of exclusion systems; pitfalls; tips and tricks. How effective is such a national instrument for preventing addiction, since players can fairly easily play in an international online environment? What is needed to overcome this problem by technically interconnecting the various national exclusion systems?
