Corporate Culture or State Coercion?"

The forum with the title "Gaming & Social Responsibility" will focus to the Responsible Gaming, identifying best practices, ensuring meanwhile that the interest of players and vulnerable groups are protected.

At last, is Responsible Gaming a marketing tool of the companies that are active in this industry or it is the infusion of corporate philosophy that a gaming company adopts?
