The Better Gambling Forum met in New York to discuss the Responsible Gambling Triple-P (RG3P) Framework and invite discussion and feedback on its pillars. Following this, the group produced a consultation document detailing the proposed framework.
Stakeholder input sought to inform next iteration of policies
Las Vegas, NV – Feb 2026 - The Better Gambling Forum (BGF), has launched an open
consultation to refine and strengthen the evolving Responsible Gambling Triple-P (RG3P)
Framework as the initiative continues to gain momentum following the publication of its
report developed through formal discussions held during the United Nations General
Assembly.
The BGF is inviting stakeholder input on the six core pillars of the proposed framework which
focuses on critical aspects of player protection such as Education, Risk Detection &
Intervention, Support, Ethical Practices and Research.
The consultation builds directly on findings and priority questions identified in the BGF’s
United Nations report, which captures outcomes from workshops and multi-stakeholder
discussions convened as part of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in
September 2025.
Participants who attended the Better Gambling Forum sessions will be provided with a copy
of the United Nations report directly. Additional stakeholders who wish to participate in the
consultation or request access to the report are invited to contact the BGF to receive further
information.
The consultation sets out questions around the six core pillars but also welcomes concrete
examples from different jurisdictions, identification of stakeholders or perspectives not yet
represented, research or evidence that supports or contradicts the premises and practical
implementation concerns.
The feedback will directly inform the next iteration of the framework, which will be discussed
and further advanced through regional consultations and international forums throughout
2026, including at dedicated sessions at the upcoming G7 and G20 meetings.
In tandem, BGF members have recently delivered updates on the initiative at the World
Economic Forum in Davos and ICE Barcelona, particularly on the alignment with broader
brain capital and prevention agendas, and how the work is translating into concrete policy
and industry engagement.
The BGF is a multi-stakeholder initiative of the Brain Capital Alliance, in collaboration with
the G7/G20, United Nations, and World Economic Forum, aiming to create a unified,
evidence-based approach to player protection and harm prevention on a global scale.
Shawn Fluharty, Chair of the BGF Steering Committee and Head of Government
Affairs at Play'n GO, said: “We launched the six pillars of the RG3P last year, providing
jurisdictions with a practical blueprint for establishing a gold standard in harm prevention,
treatment, and regulation. After intense discussions with policymakers, researchers,
regulators, and industry executives, areas that need further examination were identified and
we now welcome feedback from stakeholders to strengthen the policies.
“Significant work remains, particularly meaningful consultation with indigenous communities
and deeper exploration of how cultural context should inform responsible gambling
frameworks. We present these concepts not as finished products but as working hypotheses
requiring additional input, challenge, and refinement.”
