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 UN General Assembly in New York in September 2025. 
Participants who attended the Better Gambling Forum sessions will be provided with a copy of the 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.”
