Citation2019). Disengagement with the ‘gamble responsibly’ message could be due to a variety of reasons: overexposure and habituation, passive and indiscrete placement, the generic nature of the advice, or lack of a concrete call to action. Moreover, it has been suggested that this message might even backfire and be counterproductive due to an insinuation of personal responsibility for excessive gambling, and thereby could contribute to self-stigma (Livingstone et al. Citation2019)\nPanel Moderator:\nDr. Heidi Sinclair\n \nPanel Members:\n·          Gauteng Gambling Board\nMs. Karabo Mbele\n·          South African Responsible Gambling Foundation\nMr. Lebogang Seoheng\n·          Clinical & Sports Psychologist\nDr. Keitumetse Mashego\n·          Gambling Authority of Botswana\nMr. Peter Emolemo Kesitilwe\n·          National Gambling Board\nMs. Yvonne Gwenhure\n\n\nAFTERNOON TEA / END OF DAY 1\n\n\nGALA DINNER (18:30 for 19:00)\n\n\n\n \nPROGRAMME DAY 2: 24 NOVEMBER 2023\n\n\n\n24 NOVEMBER 2023\n\n\n9:00 – 9:10\nOpening\nProgramme Director\n \nMr. David Lakay\n\n\n9:10 – 9:20\nOverview of Day 1 of the Summit\nChairperson: Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board\n \nMr. Claude Bassuday\n\n\n9:20 – 9:50\nPresentation on corporate programme on responsible gambling from the operator’s view\nHollywood Bets\n·          Ms. Zandile Dlamini\nBetway\n·          Mr. Reid Ally\n\n\n9:50 – 10:25\nPANEL DISCUSSION:\n \nHow do we measure the effectiveness of responsible gambling programmes?\nThis discussion will explore the complex issue of responsible gambling and the identification of programs and policies that best address responsible gambling, the prevention of problem gambling and how we hold each other accountable for supporting proven, effective solutions.\nPanel Moderator:\nMrs. Sibongile Simelane-Quntana\n \nPanel Members:\n·          Betway\nMr. Reid Ally\n·          Mpumalanga Economic Regulator\nMr. Vusi Mtsweni\n·          Gambling Authority of Botswana\nMs. Portia Diketo\n·          Gauteng Gambling Board\nMr. Masakona Moshapo\n\n\n10:25 – 10:55\nThe development of a self-exclusion platform.\nSouth African Bookmakers Association\nMr. Sean Coleman\n\n\nMORNING TEA (10:55 – 11:15)\n\n\n11:15 – 11:35\nSumsub Automated Solution for Responsible Gaming Control\nThis presentation will explore how Responsible Gambling initiatives can be enhanced, automated and implemented using technology.\nSumsub\n \nMr. Hannes Bezuidenhout\n\n\n11:35 – 12:00\nPresentation on digital tools as a functionality to assist in responsible gambling measures.\nSportingbet South African\n \nMs. Gail Odgers\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n12:00 – 12:30\nPANEL DISCUSSION:\n \nResponsible gambling in the digital era.\nThis discussion will explore the methods of implementing responsible gambling measures for land-based and online gambling offerings, looking at opportunities and challenges and how these measures can be improved.\nPanel Moderator:\nMr. Alwin Matthews\n \nPanel Members:\n·          Sportingbet South Africa\nMs. Gail Odgers\n·          Sun International\nMr. Lenny Reddy\n·          PlayTsogo\nMr. Raj Laljith\n·          Sumsub\nMr Hannes Bezuidenhout\n·          BMM Testlabs South Africa\nMs. Zeena Rossouw\n·          Gaming Laboratories International\nMr. Pierre Otto\n\n\n12:30 – 13:10\nBest practices in eradicating illegal gambling and associated problem gambling incidences.\nLimpopo Gambling Board\n \n·          Dr. Philly Masogo\nWestern Cape Gambling and Racing Board\n \n·          Mr. Robin Bennett\n\n\n13:10 – 13:20\nSummit Closing Address\nVice-Chairperson: Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board\n \nMs. Chuma Fani\n\n\nLUNCH (13:20 – 14:15)\nEND OF DAY 2\n\n\n\n \nTrack more events scheduled on the African iGaming industry on our events Calendar here\n
