A summit on responsible gambling is underway in Windhoek.

The summit brings together international experts, government institutions, gaming operators and civil society organisations to address gambling addiction as a growing public health and mental wellness concern.

The proposed amendments to the gambling and lotteries regulations aim to provide meaningful relief to industry stakeholders. 

The Gambling Board of Namibia Director, Tudiminapo Shindume, said this during a stakeholders consultation on proposed amendments at Keetmanshoop.
