Global Gambling Policy

GRG has a strong commitment to understanding how gambling is governed across the globe. We conduct regular policy reviews, examining different geographies, and use this knowledge to build understanding of the links between policy approaches and their outcomes. 

As part of this focus, GRG have led the establishment of the Global Gambling Control Monitor. This ‘scorecard’ reviews and rates gambling policy provisions in jurisdictions across the globe, enabling a comparative perspective.
