Gamble Alert is hosting the Responsible Gaming Symposium on 2026 at the Podium International Event Centre in Ikeja, Lagos. The symposium's theme is "Build Accountability to Strengthen Africa's Model for Player Protection." It will convene regulators, policymakers, gaming operators, mental health professionals, and civil society stakeholders to examine critical issues surrounding responsible gaming and consumer protection.

Fisayo Okon, a representative of Gamble Alert, emphasized the organization's commitment to promoting safer gaming practices and evidence-based policy interventions within Nigeria's rapidly growing gaming ecosystem. The symposium aims to provide a strategic platform for stakeholders to explore sustainable approaches to regulation and consumer protection, especially as the African gaming market experiences significant growth.

The event will feature keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, interactive workshops, and breakout sessions focusing on emerging regulatory frameworks and innovative tools to mitigate gambling-related risks. Additionally, GamingWeek has been nominated for recognition for its contributions to public education and knowledge dissemination within Nigeria's gaming sector.
