The Gaming Supervision Institute (ISJ) has concluded Responsible Gaming Week with awareness walk on October 18, 2026, in Luanda, Angola.
The walk along Luanda’s New Marginal promoted responsible gambling practices and public protection.
The walk was themed ‘Together for Responsible Gaming’. It formed part of activities marking the 12th anniversary of the ISJ. It brought together government officials, industry operators, and civil society representatives. Together, they aimed to raise awareness about gambling risks.
The event highlighted collaboration across sectors. Participants exchanged ideas on outreach and education. The gathering underscored a shared commitment to responsible gaming. Officials, operators, and civil society groups affirmed ongoing cooperation. The ISJ will publish a summary of discussions and next steps.
Participants included José Vieira Nuno Leiria, Secretary of State for Tax Affairs; Nerethz Tati, Director General of the ISJ; and members of the institute’s Board of Directors.
The initiative was organized with the support of gaming operators and the National Association for the Fight Against Drugs (ANLD), highlighting the importance of cooperation between public institutions, industry stakeholders and communities in promoting responsible gambling.
During Responsible Gaming Week, activities focused on educating the public about gambling-related risks. The campaign reinforced the prohibition of gambling participation by individuals under the age of 18. It also promoted that ISJ should be treated as entertainment, not a source of income.
Public education remained central to the week. Officials highlighted the risks of gambling and the need for caution. They reiterated that individuals under 18 must not gamble. The effort framed gambling as entertainment only, not a money strategy.
Held under the motto “ISJ – 12 Years of Strengthening Supervision and Promoting Responsible Gaming,” the initiative linked the institute’s anniversary celebrations with broader efforts to encourage public awareness, social responsibility and safer gambling practices.
The ISJ expressed appreciation to the gaming operators and institutions that supported the campaign. This includes the ANLD, the Provincial Government of Luanda, the Municipal Administration of Ingombotas, and the National Police.
The institute said the participation of industry operators reaffirmed their commitment to building a more responsible, transparent and informed gaming sector. The awareness walk marked the conclusion of the week-long campaign, with the ISJ reiterating that promoting responsible gambling requires the collective commitment of regulators, operators, public institutions and society.
