 Gambling
addiction can be a serious issue for some player who find it hard
to stop when they are losing. This is the biggest downside to
gambling in general and is important.
Today the Jackpot Factory Group have announced that they have
implemented a responsible gambling program at all of their casinos.
Formulated by eCOGRA
(eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) the program
aims to identify and help players who exhibit problem behavior.
David Brickman, a spokesperson for Jackpot Factory had this to
say, "The Jackpot Factory Group cares first and foremost about
our players. As such, we take the issue of responsible gaming very
seriously. Our managers have been in constant discussion with eCOGRA
to learn how best to implement this program. We are pleased to be
a part of this important effort.
Our mission is to promote safe, fun responsible gaming and for this
reason we’re committed to do our role in stopping underage
gambling. Casino managers have been trained on the latest technology
and ID techniques to detect red flags as soon as they happen."
All players at the casino now have their betting history under observation.
Players who appear to be getting into trouble or exhibit problem
gambling betting behavior will get a friendly email from the casino
giving them information on problem gambling and how to get help.
All of the casinos also give players access to the National Opinion
Research Center of the University of Chicago’s
(NORC) confidential diagnostic test, a highly respected test used
by psychologists across the country.
"Gambling on video slots, or any other casino game for that matter,
is a great form of leisure and entertainment, but for some it can
potentially be dangerous. If a player needs a cooling off period,
we’re going to encourage them to do so. As one of the largest
online casino groups focusing on slots and roulette, the Jackpot
Factory is taking the bull by the horns".
It is great to see a casino group taking a pro-active approach to
this problem which a lot of the time remains hidden. This is just
another example of how the Jackpot Factory Group is a really first
class online gaming group. If you have not played at their casinos
then check out the details below.
