38% of European gambling accounts now use safety tools voluntarily, EGBA report says

More than 16.5 million European gambling accounts, 38% of the total, used safety tools voluntarily in 2025, the European Gaming and Betting Association said in its sixth annual sustainability report. The Brussels-based association published the report on November 13, 2026, timed to European Safer Gambling Week, which runs from November 16 to 22. EGBA said in the report that “more players than ever are choosing to use safety tools,” with voluntary users accounting for 38% of all customer accounts, up from 34% in 2024. EGBA’s announcement on X carried the same figures.
