Regulating the Game<\/a>, said: \u201cEvive brings together real-world experience, clinical expertise, and technology to create an accessible and credible platform for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cPitch! was conceived to spotlight exactly these kinds of innovations \u2014 ideas that challenge convention, improve safeguards, and reimagine the future of regulation and industry practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether someone is thinking about cutting down or already on a help-seeking journey, Evive provides a one-stop shop for support, insight, and behavioural change<\/strong>, while giving operators and regulators confidence that effective, evidence-based harm minimisation tools are being deployed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJay Robinson<\/strong>, a safer gambling expert, said: \u201cEvive isn\u2019t just another app. It\u2019s a bridge between lived experience, behavioural science and practical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt shows that compliance and compassion can coexist, and when they do, everyone benefits. The app gives regulators and operators confidence in credible harm reduction tools, while giving people a safe, stigma free path to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sam DeMello<\/strong>, CEO and founder of Evive, who has deep lived experience through his own recovery from gambling harms, said: \u201cWe built Evive to make gambling support as accessible, personalized, and data-rich as gambling itself by using the same technology that has fuelled the rapid growth of the industry. We believe that by combining empathy and evidence, we can help people improve their relationship with gambling, on their own terms, without stigma or judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe organisers of the Regulating the Game conference said: \u201cFrom enhancing operational effectiveness to strengthening consumer safeguards, Pitch! is where tangible advances in capability are born \u2014 and the future of the sector is imagined<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pitch! will debut at the Sydney Opera House on March 9, 2026, as part of Regulating the Game: 2026 Sydney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":777033060,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":true,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Evive Australia, an app leveraging lived experience and technology for gambling harm prevention, will be the inaugural innovation showcased at \"Pitch!\" during the \"Regulating the Game: 2026 Sydney\" conference.
