FEJAR and ESG iGaming Join Forces to Advance Safer Gambling
Spain / Austria – [14/07/2026] – FEJAR and ESG iGaming have announced a strategic partnership to strengthen safer gambling standards, promote meaningful player-protection initiatives, and support a more socially responsible future for the gaming industry.
At a time when Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are becoming increasingly important across regulated industries, both organisations recognise that the protection of players and the prevention of gambling-related harm must remain at the centre of the conversation.
The partnership brings together FEJAR’s decades of experience supporting individuals and families affected by gambling addiction in Spain and ESG iGaming’s international work advancing ESG best practices across the global gaming sector. Together, the organisations aim to foster greater collaboration between support services, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the wider responsible gambling community.
While technology, innovation, and regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, gambling-related harm remains a significant social challenge. Effective player protection requires more than compliance alone. It requires ongoing education, transparent policies, evidence-based prevention measures, and a genuine commitment to understanding the lived experiences of those impacted by addiction.
Through this collaboration, FEJAR and ESG iGaming will highlight the critical role of safer gambling measures in building a sustainable gaming ecosystem. The partnership will focus on encouraging greater awareness of gambling-related harm, promoting best practices in responsible gambling, supporting knowledge-sharing initiatives, and helping ensure that social responsibility remains a key priority within ESG discussions.
The organisations believe that the “Social” pillar of ESG represents one of the greatest opportunities for the gaming industry to demonstrate meaningful impact. By strengthening the connection between industry standards and the organisations working directly with affected individuals, the sector can gain valuable insight into how policies and practices translate into real-world outcomes.
This partnership reflects a shared vision that responsible gambling should not be viewed solely as a regulatory obligation, but as a fundamental component of sustainable business. Stronger player protection measures benefit not only individuals and families but also contribute to greater trust, transparency, and long-term resilience across the industry.
As the conversation around ESG continues to mature, FEJAR and ESG iGaming hope to encourage a broader understanding that social sustainability begins with protecting people. By combining expertise from both the support and industry perspectives, the partnership aims to contribute to positive change and raise the standard for safer gambling internationally.
