African Responsible Gaming Network Launches to Protect Players and Promote Safe Gambling

The African Responsible Gaming Network (ARGN) has been launched to unite efforts across Africa for player protection and responsible gambling. The Network unites the efforts of countries across Africa by bringing together representatives from Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Botswana, Cameroon and Uganda, among other countries.

Lebo Seoheng, the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation's Advocacy and Communications Manager, has been appointed to the role of ARGN President. Simon Vincze, Casino Guru's Head of Sustainable and Safer Gambling, is one of the members of ARGN's Advisory Board.

The Network will focus on developing a unified African platform focused on responsible gambling, prevention, treatment and education. ARGN's key goals include the development of an African gambling harm insight brief, policy recommendations, and cross-country campaigns for prevention, education, and awareness.
