What is the Standard?
Standard Review Panel
An expert panel reviews the Safer Gambling Standard on an annual basis to incorporate changes in regulatory requirements and good practice guidelines, the opinions of GamCare service users, and new insights from academic research.
The panel consists of independent experts in the field of safer gambling and does not include a representative of the gambling industry.
