9:00 am - 4:30 pm
Safer gambling and Player Protection for Remote gambling operators and Betting shops is at the forefront of industry scrutiny.
Remote operators have been on the receiving end of hefty enforcement action in the recent past and is not showing any signs of letting up. A particular focus of enforcement action has been on player protection, specifically Customer Interactions. Many operators are failing to conduct interactions and the ones that are have not been reaching the regulators expectations in this area.
AMLGS specialises in training remote operators. With the use of their clinical specialists and industry experts they have been working with operators and regulators to improve the knowledge and skillset for the sector on all aspects of Player Protection. AMLGS have trained many operators on their player protection processes, specifically, customer interactions and how the regulator expects them to look.
Operators that have undertaken and utilised this effective training have received praise and recognition for their industry leading processes.
Every remote operator should be striving towards having in place, the best player protection processes and interactions, creating a safer gambling environment for their customers.
Player Protection and understanding the psychology that lies behind problem gambling is challenging. We have seen in the recent past that the regulator has a perception that operators could be doing more to protect their players. These training workshops are designed to give operators the skills and knowledge to implement procedures that exceed regulatory requirements.
This exclusive training event will deliver key learning outcomes and on the day you can expect:
- Greater understanding of problem gambling psychology
- How to identify the early signs (Red flags)
- The importance of Pre-Crisis Intervention (PCI)
- How to undertake customer interactions
- Player Protection stages and treatment
We want every remote operator to continue their fantastic work and capitalise on this opportunity to gain a better understanding of how to better protect your customers. Join us on 23rd May for the first of many interactive training events.
