Swiss Gambling Supervisory Authority

Like every year, Gespa has prepared an evaluation report on the effectiveness of the measures to protect gamblers from excessive gambling.

On behalf of the Swiss gambling authorities Gespa and ESBK, the Swiss Institute for Addiction and Health Research (ISGF) has evaluated data on gambling behaviour in Switzerland for the year 2022. The data comes from the Swiss Health Survey 2022 conducted by the Federal Statistical Office.

Based on the Federal Act on Gambling, Gespa is mandated to prepare an annual report on the use of net revenues from lotteries and sports betting by the cantons.

Over the course of 2025, Gespa will carry out controls in the terrestrial sales outlets of the two lottery companies regarding the implementation of measures to protect minors in sports betting.

Gespa has been mandated by the Conference of Cantonal Directors – Money Games (FDKG) to compile a report summarising the use of the prevention levy in the cantons every four years and to publish it on its website. The corresponding report was published today.

In view of Loterie électronique's high risk potential, the licences issued by Gespa in 2021 obliged Loterie Romande to exclude barred players from playing the electronic lottery.
