EUROMAT

History

The European Gaming and Amusement Federation (EUROMAT) was established in 1979.^[1] Its secretariat is located in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium and the de facto capital of the European Union (EU).^[2] Although EUROMAT mainly follows European political developments, it also endeavours to monitor international developments as they happen.

Structure

As of 2025, the federation represents 14 national member associations from 11 European countries .^[3] EUROMAT is supported by a secretariat based in Brussels, as well as an Executive Committee.

In May 2025, Jason Frost, of the British Amusement Catering Trade Association (BACTA), was reelected president of EUROMAT.

Mission

The overall mission of the Federation is to contribute to the creation of a healthy business and legal environment for the gaming industry in the EU.

EUROMAT instigates dialogue with the European Union and other pan-European bodies, with whom it hopes to use its position and membership to stimulate debate and awareness. The federation also monitors and attempts to influence the European regulations on legal, commercial and technical aspects of the business to guarantee the best possible future for the gaming sector, by giving one voice to its members on all matters affecting the industry.

As well as defending the interests of the gaming industry by providing continued and accurate information on the gaming sector to citizens, European media and national administrations, EUROMAT supports all its member associations in their efforts to adopt, promote and enforce the appropriate code of conduct for themselves and their associates.^[4]

Activities

Much of the Federation's work consists of monitoring developments within the European Union, and keeping member associations informed of upcoming legislation that may potentially affect them. Additionally, the organization collects and distributes information on the amusement industry on a regular basis.
