Experts have called for clearer self-exclusion rules as online gambling continues to grow across Africa. During the 32nd General Assembly of the African Organisation for Standardisation (ARSO) held in Kenya, a proposal was presented to develop clear standards for self-exclusion as a crucial tool for protecting individuals from gambling-related harm.
Dr. Margaret Carran of St George's, University of London, and Šimon Vincze, Head of Sustainable and Safer Gambling at Casino Guru, presented the Self-Exclusion Standards Project, which seeks to establish clear guidelines for implementing online self-exclusion systems. Vincze highlighted that more than 200 million Africans are currently gambling online, representing 14% of the population, and emphasized the importance of protecting those at increased risk through responsible gambling measures.
