4. A person exercising a rational and sensible choice and acting upon that choice based on his/her
individual circumstances and awareness of the intention of the entertainment experience and
its limitations is what we understand to be a “Responsible Gambler”.
5. With all the above in mind, EUROMAT urges its member associations, and through them, the
entire gambling sector, to co-operate with national authorities, public and private institutions,
user groups and organisations concerned with Responsible Gambling, in the development of
prevention programmes to avoid the risks associated with the abuse or misuse of gaming
devices and facilities.
6. EUROMAT understands the diversity of regulations and control practices existing in Europe, but
considers that such diversity should not be an obstacle for a clear, honest and continued effort
to promote Responsible Gambling within each jurisdiction.
7. To that end, EUROMAT encourages its Member Associations to promote or co-operate in
specific programmes which make it possible for players to identify gambling operations that are
run in agreement with the principles and practices of Responsible Gambling.
