June 11, 2025 – Calgary, Canada – Play’n GO, the world’s leading casino entertainment provider, has announced its participation in a landmark initiative taking place during this week’s G7 Leader Summit in Calgary. The company will take a leading role in the Global Forum on Responsible Gaming and Gambling Policy, a first-of-its-kind gathering set to shape the future of global gambling regulation.
This forum, the first in a three-part series, will be followed by additional sessions at the G20 Summit and the United Nations General Assembly later this year, positioning Play’n GO at the forefront of international gambling policy development.
On June 13, Shawn Fluharty, Play’n GO’s Head of Government Affairs, will lead a high-level session on the opening day of the G7 Summit. He will join global leaders, regulators, neuroscientists, and public health experts to explore the intersection of gambling, mental wellness, and responsible policy-making.
Play’n GO is the only online casino content provider invited to the forum, underscoring the company’s long-standing leadership in responsible gaming and its commitment to helping build a sustainable future for the industry.
The outcomes from the G7, G20, and UN sessions will be compiled into formal policy recommendations, contributing to the global dialogue on public health, youth protection, technological innovation, and long-term societal well-being.
Play’n GO has consistently championed stronger regulation in online gaming. The company recently reaffirmed its stance by pledging not to supply its content to sweepstakes casinos, reinforcing its mission to align growth with consumer protection.
Shawn Fluharty, Head of Government Affairs at Play’n GO, said:
“Positioning responsible gaming at the world’s premier policy forums is vital to ensuring regulation keeps pace with rapid innovation and effectively protects consumers.
As the only online supplier engaging directly at the G7 Forum on Responsible Gaming and Gambling Policy, and soon at the G20 Summit and United Nations General Assembly, Play’n GO’s presence will showcase the critical value of early collaboration with lawmakers and regulators in forging cohesive, global standards.”
This bold step further cements Play’n GO’s reputation as an industry pioneer, helping to chart a responsible and inclusive future for digital gaming worldwide.
