Ahead of the important (and potentially controversial!) new Gambling Commission GSGB release this Thursday, it's important to take a step back and consider some of the progress being made in the sector around #safergambling. Since we first started working with operators via our Safer Gambling Analyst solution at Everett Sky, I've seen dedication and commitment from the operators we work with to tackling the issue of problem gambling head on. Rather than the misconceptions you see in the media about operators prioritising profit over safety, the opposite is true when you get underneath the bonnet and see these operators at work. Our solution - helping boost operator RG teams with extra capacity and trained staff - has played an important part in some of those journeys, and I'm proud of the team at Everett Sky and the effort they've put in. So when you see some of the noise on Thursday about operators and problem gambling, it's not all that it seems from the coverage. Scratch beneath the surface and most operators in the UK and beyond are working hard to drive down levels of harmful gambling and keep players safe! #responsiblegambling #gsgb #gamblingcommission #problemgambling #gambling #ukgambling

Since South Australia introduced self-exclusion and harm minimisation policies to protect at risk gambling patrons, other Australian states have also started to take similar steps. Vix Vizion have been successfully helping pubs and clubs to meet their policy requirements. Vix Vizion's Responsible Gambling software delivers fast, accurate, real time facial recognition that alerts staff when a self-excluded patron has entered the venue. While the use of our FRT technology supports state policies for gaming harm reduction in South Australia, the software can be used in any gambling establishment to help at risk patrons, by supporting their self-exclusion request.  https://lnkd.in/gXGvCM7Z #responsiblegambling #frt #gambling #betting #sportsgambling #bet #casino #harmreduction
