INTRODUCING IAGR
• IAGR is an independent, non-profit corporation and is working hard
to represent the interest of gaming regulators around the world.
• IAGR is the only global organization for gaming regulators.
• IAGR has attracted a record number of members and is today
comprised of regulators from more than 70 jurisdictions that
include Africa, Asia, Central America, Caribbean, South America,
Europe and North America.
MISSION
IAGR’s mission is to advance the effectiveness and efficiency of gaming
regulation by providing:
• a forum in which gaming regulators can meet, exchange views
and information, and discuss policy issues among themselves
and with representatives of the international gaming industry;
• a means of fostering co-operation between gaming regulators in
the performance of their official duties; and
• a central point of contact for inquiries from governments,
gaming regulatory agencies and personnel, and representatives
of the international gaming industry.
HISTORY
• IAGR began informally in the 1980’s as an adjunct to the annual
meeting of the International Association of Gaming Attorneys
(IAGA).
• In 1993, IAGR became more formalised and commenced its own
annual conference in conjunction with the annual conference of
IAGA.
• In early 2011 the association incorporated as a non-profit
association known as the International Association of Gaming
Regulators, Inc.
• In 2011, IAGR’s leadership converted from a steering committee run
by a chairman to a Board of Trustees guided by a President and a
team of officers.

The aim is to support an increasingly legal gambling market and thus
protect players against unfair and illegal gambling activities.
