Six US online gambling operators have teamed up to agree to industry-led responsible gaming standards.
The operators are Bally’s Corporation, BetMGM, DraftKings, Entain, FanDuel and MGM Resorts International, and they have launched a 12-point pledge to commit to the principles of responsible online gaming.
This announcement comes in tandem with the American Gaming Association’s Responsible Gaming Education Month.
Robeson Reeves, President of Interactive at Bally’s Corporation, said: “Bally’s is proud to partner with all of the participating operators. We are committed to the 12-point pledge and it’s Bally’s and the industry’s responsibility to prevent underage gaming and provide education and safeguards.”
Joshua Jessen, BetMGM CLO, added: “Responsible gaming is at the forefront of everything we do at BetMGM. While we operate in a highly competitive industry, we are proud to stand together with our colleagues to adopt these important principles. We look forward to building on our work into the future.”
DraftKings’ Senior Director of Responsible Gaming Chrissy Thurmond explained: “DraftKings is pleased to be a part of this landmark effort that has culminated in the adoption of 12 responsible gaming principles across the participating operators – and that will benefit consumers around the US.”
FanDuel’s Adam Warrington, VP, Responsible Gaming, stated: “FanDuel is committed to collaborating and partnering with every participating operator, and our entire industry, on these 12 principles of responsible online gaming.”
