Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

ProgressPlay has revealed that their new technology stack is packed with the latest Responsible Gambling automation and tools. ProgressPlay has developed its own proprietary Responsible Gambling software in an innovation project that reached fruition with February’s platform launch and a shortlisting by the EGR Awards in their inaugural Safer Gambling category. The Responsible Gambling software at the heart of the platform was written and launched in 2022 and tested over a period of months.

Recently, ProgressPlay has invested in proprietary technological advancement facilitating greater automation tools and robust secured procedures for Responsible Gambling that put the company at the forefront of companies providing the safest player experience. As part of the rebuild, ProgressPlay significantly rethought its Responsible Gambling approach, creating an AI-driven proprietary flow for interaction with players which recognises them in real-time and scores them against a number of criteria.

Recognised by EGR’s judging panel, this technology has been further enhanced by the formation of a Responsible Gambling Team in-house who take ownership of service-levels available and covers a range of factors including KYC, player activity, affordability levels and results in a transparent audit trail to protect and enable players.

The new platform launched at ICE 2023 enabled by ProgressPlay proprietary flows that include interaction funnels, onboarding, retention, reduced attrition, lifetime value and other KPIs which their large casino cluster now has full access to.

Last year, ProgressPlay internally restructured to create a new multidisciplinary Responsible Gambling Team, putting together a talented team of top executives alongside a new “Responsible Gaming Monitoring Committee” to help steer development of Responsible Gambling actions within the company and an innovative Progress Learn platform to drive knowledge and skills around Responsible Gambling company wide.

From the initial interaction with the customer, full data is collected to categorise the clients risk level following a real time evaluation of the player’s activity to ensure his ongoing state. Upon identification, personalised mandatory communications are sent to the client while having the dedicated Responsible Gaming Team undertake their checks in real-time, by reviewing, evaluating and concluding to take any necessary action, coupled with ongoing monitoring, ensures their clients are not falling into financial difficulties.

An innovative digital resource was created to be accessed by all staff 24/7, Progress Learn, with the goal of ensuring that a robust Responsible Gaming culture is second nature to every team member company wide, with that resource being constantly updated with new policy, guidelines, videos, webinars, seminars, quizzes, assessments and classroom training.

The new platform with a slick and intuitive AI-driven UI/UX now supplies operators and casinos with a platform and game aggregator together with extensive value-added services, covering white-label, turnkey and a new service introduction on the back of the new technology, Licensee services. These upgraded services fully cover all the requirements of casino operators as recognised in EGR’s shortlisting in multiple categories.

A raft of over 150 online casino brands has already teamed up with ProgressPlay to bring their casino and sports-betting platforms to life, and these brands are currently being migrated to the new stack. This combination of casino games and sports betting is itself a rare offering, underpinning the innovative approach the company has to do business.

ProgressPlay CEO Itai Loewenstein said: “Every conversation today begins and ends with regulation. We are delighted with the innovation muscle of our team who have been able to introduce new levels of capability beyond regulatory standards.”
