According to the Constitution of GREF, the Forum can decide to establish working groups on specific items. Currently GREF has four working groups: one on technical issues, one on information and statistics, one on gambling addiction and one on illegal gambling.
WORKING GROUP ON TECHNICAL ISSUES
A Working Group on Technical Issues will monitor technological developments in the gaming business (machines, Internet, on line terminals, wireless applications, etc.) and may propose common standards on technical issues. This working group is co-chaired by Anniken Rygg (Gaming and Foundation Authority of Norway) and Peter Geertsen (Netherlands Gaming Control Board).
WORKING GROUP ON INFORMATION AND STATISTICS
A Working Group on Information and Statistics will develop and maintain a common reference framework for information sharing and statistics.
