They will collaborate on efforts to channelise gaming to licensed operators in Sweden amid the country\u2019s\u00a0online casino deposit limits<\/em><\/strong>, which are to be extended to mid-2021.<\/p>\n

The project has called for more women in management in the gaming industry.<\/p>\n

UK.- The All-in Diversity Project has criticised the lack of women in management roles as its latest benchmarking report shows women hold less than a quarter of non-executive board positions.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s All-Index 2019 Annual Report analysed data from 26 gambling industry operators representing more than 100 brands.<\/p>\n

Developed in partnership with the Centre for Diversity Policy Research and Practice at Oxford Brookes University, the report found that 77.5 per cent of non-executive board members last year were men.<\/p>\n

The number of women represented fell by 5.5 percentage points from the previous to 22.5 per cent<\/p>\n

Men also made up 59.2 per cent of executive positions and 70 per cent of C-level positions.<\/p>\n

Women accounted for just 15 per cent of chief executives and managing directors and only 34 per cent of directors and department heads.<\/p>\n

The report identified stereotyped attitudes to job areas, with men vastly outnumbering women in technology, trading and risk, and women more likely to work in hospitality and human resources.<\/p>\n

It also identified a continuing gender pay gap, despite 83.3 per cent of respondents having equal opportunities and anti-discrimination policies in place.<\/p>\n

The report also found that the number of employers hiring LGBTQ+ workers, disabled people and ethnic minorities fell by 30% year-on-year.<\/p>\n

All-in did not reveal the identity of all the organisations participating in the study but noted that GVC Holdings scored best, followed by Sky Betting & Gaming, Betsson Group and SIS.<\/p>\n

Projesct co-founder Kelly Kehn said: \u201cWe believe that surveying the industry annually is one of the most significant ways we can continue real progress globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to all participants who are both committed to their own progress but also to the industry\u2019s overall improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, the industry praised the increase in the\u00a0number of women leaders at Atlantic City casinos<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
