RGA’s role is to provide the remote gambling industry with a single voice on all the issues of importance to regulators, legislators, and key decision makers around the world. We are working to promote a regulated and non-discriminatory environment for on-line gaming globally. Within Europe we call for fair and open market access for all companies licensed or legally established therein . European consumers should be guaranteed the right to access services provided by regulated and responsible on-line gaming providers of their choice. RGA encourages social responsibility and high standards of probity and integrity within the industry through the development of codes of conduct.
