Botswana’s Gambling Authority and IAGR Launch Campaign to Curb Illegal Gambling

The Gambling Authority of Botswana and the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR) have launched a global awareness campaign to help consumers identify and avoid illegal or unlicensed online gambling websites and apps. The campaign will share a series of digital messages to help consumers understand the risks of unlicensed gambling. It will also show how unlicensed operators can appear familiar and entertaining while offering none of the safeguards provided by properly licensed operators. As digital betting expands, regulatory authorities are taking coordinated action to protect players from deceptive operators that mimic legitimate businesses while offering no consumer protections.
