Recap of ICE London 2023

The Focal team had a wonderful time at ICE. It was great to see familiar faces, meet with key stakeholders, and participate in panel discussions to advance the conversation on safer gambling and player protection.

A big thank you to Clarion Gaming and everyone we met with in London. Here is a look back at the week.

Jay Moderates the Lived Experience Panel & Speaks on Human Vs. Tech Panel

The first panel took place on February 7th and focused on gambling harm and the impact of lived experience on safer gambling policy. Jay was joined by Matt Smith (Betknowmore), Barrie Mitchell (Gamcare) and Niall O’Connor (YGAM).

Jay also took part in a panel on February 8th discussing the focus on human vs technology in player education, engagement, and interaction at various stages of play – looking at the effectiveness of the measures implemented and how each is important in reducing gambling risk and harm.

The panel was moderated by Paul Foster (Crucial Compliance), and Jay was joined by Pedro Romero (Betblocker), and Chris Conroy (Future Anthem).
