International Responsible Gaming Organisation

What Is IRGO?

The International Responsible Gaming Organisation (IRGO) provides up-to-date information in order to allow a gaming operator to develop and maintain the most effective responsible gaming strategies. IRGO helps bridge the gap between research and application, by providing a unique, independent, online resource detailing the latest world-wide responsible gaming research findings, and initiatives. IRGO provides a continuously updated summary of all relevant responsible gaming information, compiled with the help of an international panel of world leading experts in the field.

IRGO membership demonstrates a commitment towards a global community based approach to responsible gaming and corporate responsibility, and will greatly assist an operator to meet both their own national regulatory requirements, as well as the requirements of related organisations that promote responsible gaming policies (e.g. The World Lottery Organisation, the European Casino Organisation etc.).

The specific aims of the Organisation are as follows:

To summarise the evidence on all the key areas of responsible gaming so that gaming operators can quickly, and efficiently, get the information that they need
To disseminate the latest responsible gaming research findings and strategies, archived to provide a comprehensive online resource
To publish a weekly news bulletin on responsible gaming issues
To offer opportunity for exchange of best practise in responsible gaming strategy from around the world, and across different gaming sectors, both online and land based
To operate a secure, registered members only, online community forum to report and discuss responsible gaming issues
To publicise upcoming responsible gaming events
To provide relevant and comprehensive links for world-wide responsible gaming services. For example, organisations who undertake full evaluations of existing responsible gaming initiatives
To acknowledge members who meet IRGO standards in responsible gaming, and for their commitment to the goals of international responsible gaming through the exchange of best practise
To organise an annual international responsible gaming conference with speakers to include - industry responsible gaming staff, leading researchers, policy makers, and clinicians

Membership for the Organisation will be open on an annual subscription basis to any regulated gaming operator who meets IRGO responsible gaming requirements. Please visit our Sign Up page for membership details.
