Goals / Remit
RGA’s role is to provide the remote gambling industry with a single voice on all the issues of importance to regulators, legislators, and key decision makers around the world. We are working to promote a regulated and non-discriminatory environment for on-line gaming globally. Within Europe we call for fair and open market access for all companies licensed or legally established therein . European consumers should be guaranteed the right to access services provided by regulated and responsible on-line gaming providers of their choice. RGA encourages social responsibility and high standards of probity and integrity within the industry through the development of codes of conduct.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
