As part of European Safer Gambling Week 2025, Yaspa hosted a live webinar on how payment data and open banking can transform safer gambling practices. The session was led by Yaspa’s Renuka Rawlins, Head of Policy and Public Affairs, with expert insights from Dr Toby Sucharov, CTO, and Miłosz Mazurkiewicz, Product Lead for data and insights.

📺 Watch the replay below. Key talking points include:

• The power of real transactional insight
  How open banking reveals income patterns, disposable income and cross-operator gambling behaviour – giving operators a far richer and more accurate picture than credit checks or self-reported data ever could.
  
• Why players actually do consent
  Miłosz and Toby challenge the “low conversion myth”, explaining how Yaspa’s integrated consent journey achieves around 70% participation by asking players at the moment they want to deposit.
  
• Early markers of financial vulnerability
  From payday loan usage to irregular income and subtle changes in day-to-day spending, the panel discuss emerging indicators that can reveal financial stress long before signs of gambling harm appear.
  
• Balancing innovation with privacy
  A look at how meaningful consent, transparency and role-based data access can maintain trust while enabling more effective harm detection.
