Addiction 7: Standardising Markers of Harm

The conversation covers various topics including the challenges of influencer marketing, the fragmentation of gambling regulations across Europe, the impact of regulation on black markets, and the importance of standardising markers of harm to protect players. Vasiliki emphasises the need for effective intervention strategies and the importance of transparency in gambling advertising.
