CEN/TC 456 - Reporting in support of online gambling supervision

The development of a European standard(s) on reporting by online gambling service operators and suppliers to the gambling regulatory authorities in the Member States for the purpose of supervision of online gambling services will specify the core data for reporting purposes, while ensuring integrity and security of the data as well as personal data protection.
The requested European standard(s) will provide a voluntary tool to the gambling regulatory authorities in the Member States without prejudice to the scope of competence of Member States in the regulation of online gambling and without imposing any obligation on them to introduce reporting requirements or to authorize or deny authorization to any operators or suppliers.

This document defines markers of harm in online gambling and is characterized by its specific and delimited scope. It is a minimum set of markers to analyse. The individual indicators can be analysed over additional time spans as well as in excess of those required, and other markers can be added to the analysis as well.
In the event that the collection or analysis of data for a limited set of markers is prohibited within a specific jurisdiction (for example, where legislation prevents it), operators can still be compliant with the standard provided that only these markers are omitted, and only for players who fall under that specific jurisdiction.
This document does not provide guidelines regarding the interventions to be employed when addressing individuals with gambling issues, nor does it establish predefined thresholds for intervention.
