RGA

The Remote Gambling Association (RGA) is a London & Brussels -based trade association whose members are all licensed for gambling purposes in Europe. The RGA promotes a regulated and non-discriminatory environment for responsible licensed operators in the world's remote gambling markets.

The RGA codes of practice on social responsibility and age verification are designed to be read together to produce a robust framework that addresses the key issues associated with problem and underage gambling.  They provide a range of measures that will enable operators to help the small minority of their customers that have, or fear developing, a problem and to keep to a minimum the number of children that might access a gambling service.

When the RGA was formed in August 2005 as a result of the merger between the Association of Remote Gambling Operators (ARGO) and the interactive Gaming, Gambling and Betting Association (iGGBA) it was felt essential that the new body should have its own codes on these issues as soon as possible.

The codes have been formally adopted by the RGA and compliance with them has been a condition of membership since January 2006.
