Casino Guru and Gordon Moody Combine to Reinforce Self-Regulation through Free Safer Gambling Course
In line with the theme of collaboration at GambleAware’ s Annual Conference, Casino Guru, the leading online casino database in the world and a global gambling authority, have joined forces with Gordon Moody, a UK-based charity providing treatment for gambling addiction, to deliver a free interactive safer gambling course aimed at reinforcing the benefits of safer gambling.
With Gordon Moody’s / Better Change’s own E-Learning platform and Virtual Classroom now operational, and Casino Guru’s Global Self-Exclusion Initiative in progress, both companies are working tirelessly to expand safer gambling standards and promote self-regulation.
Building upon the information contained in the free course, operators can further drill down for bespoke knowledge through Gordon Moody’s / Better Change’s learning platforms to meet the demands of developing market segments.
The newly released course is a part of the Casino Guru Academy, an initiative created as yet another way of bringing Casino Guru’s vision of a better and safer gambling industry to life. It is the third course released by the company to date, following courses dedicated to customer support and casino bonuses.
From covering the basics of safer gambling to exploring the use of AI and markers of harm in identifying problem gambling, the course hopes to showcase the value of sustainable and safer gambling. It is primarily targeted at industry professionals aiming to expand their knowledge, but players are also guaranteed to find a great deal of useful information
Simon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Safer and Sustainable Gambling Lead, commented: “We are extremely happy to bring Gordon Moody’s decades of experience into this advanced course. All of our Academy courses are created with the intention of giving our participants the maximum possible value within a limited time frame.”
Combining Casino Guru’s expertise in player complaints and global online gambling market with Gordon Moody’s experience with problem gamblers and treatment, it is hoped to showcase the benefits brought by the practical usage of safer gambling principles to operators worldwide.
