  2. Accessibility – Provide multi-language content, screen-reader friendly layouts, and distinct iconography for safer gambling actions.
  3. Consistency – Align messaging across website, email, in-product banners, paid media, and affiliate placements.
  4. Proactivity – Offer personalised limits, cool-off suggestions, and helpline access before risky behaviour escalates.
