Best player protection: GamCare-Award goes to Playtech

This year’s GamCare-Award for the best player protection goes to the renowned game developer Playtech. The British gambling community awaited excitedly the presentation of the award by the independent charitable organisation. But how does the player protection at Playtech differ from that of other slot-producers?

Player protection is becoming even more important. It is not only in Germany, but also in many other countries that the providers must fulfil several criteria to protect the players especially from problematic gambling behaviour.

The British charitable organisation GamCare does not only help gambling fans with a problematic gambling behaviour, but also awards the GamCare-Award on a yearly basis. This year, the developer Playtech secured the title for the most exemplary player protection.

To be able to receive this type of award, does not mean one has to present the users with “only“ fair play. Meanwhile GamCare makes also very comprehensive requests on the managers of the company, on staff training, on product design as well as innovation. Playtech itself is of course very pleased with the award and points out that they cooperate with the academics and the charitable organisations within and outside the gambling industry, to be able to offer the end customers with the best possible comprehensible package.

The director of the Safety Standards for Gambling at GamCare, Hayley Jane Smith, explains the decision as follows:

“Playtech was awarded with Advanced Level 2 from 3 of our B2B-Standards for its casino products and platforms licensed in Great Britain, since Playtech has demonstrated (…) to gambling providers a clear focus on the further development and improvement of its concept for safer gambling.“
