The European Association for the Study of Gambling (EASG) aims to increase the level of dialogue between its members representing various aspects of gambling. The association provides a forum for the systematic study, discussion and dissemination of knowledge about all matters relating to the study of gambling in Europe and promotes the comparative study of: * Historical, economical, mathematical, social and psychological aspects of gambling * Development, execution and evaluation of the regulation of gambling * Ethical marketing and management of gambling opportunities * Understanding of the development of pathological gambling and the provision of prevention and treatment programmes The EASG avoids taking a communal view about any specific issue relating to gambling.
