IAGR member webinar
May 21 @ 9:00 pm - 10:00 pm
IAGR members are invited to the second webinar in our award winners’ series, featuring two representatives from the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA): Bashir Are, Chief Executive Officer, and Faruq Hassan, Manager of Strategy and Global Engagement and SAFEPLAY Champion.
Together they will share the story behind SAFEPLAY — Africa’s first regulator-led, multi-operator self-exclusion platform and winner of the 2025 IAGR Regulatory Innovation Award.
About SAFEPLAY
Developed by the LSLGA, SAFEPLAY addresses a structural gap in player protection: self-exclusion lists held by individual operators lacked visibility across the industry. A player excluded from one venue could access another. SAFEPLAY closes that gap.
The platform is centrally managed by the regulator and integrated with operator systems across both online and land-based environments. It provides real-time identity verification, a shared exclusion registry, and compliance intelligence accessible through a single regulatory dashboard.
The session will cover:
- The regulatory gap SAFEPLAY was designed to solve
- How the platform works across online and land-based channels
- The role of public awareness and community partnerships in responsible gambling
- Lessons for regulators considering centralised player protection systems
