Leading Online Operators Launch Principles for Responsible Gaming

NEW YORK (Sept. 22, 2022) -- The nation's largest online gaming operators have agreed to the industry's first Responsible Gaming Standard. The 12-point pledge commits to the principles of responsible online gaming and is recommended as an industry benchmarking principle.

The announcement coincides with the American Gaming Association's designation of this month as Responsible Gaming Education Month.

The collaboration includes Bally's Corporation, BetMGM, DraftKings, Entain, FanDuel, and MGM Resorts International.

The 12 principles are derived from four core attributes:

a) We will only participate in legal markets that offer consumer protections. b) We will strive to instill a responsible gaming culture throughout our respective businesses. c) Online gaming in all its forms is a fun activity and should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment. d) While the majority of individuals are able to enjoy online gaming in a responsible manner, some individuals require additional tools and support related to their gaming activities.

The 12 principles set out in the appendix include a commitment to take proactive measures to prevent minors and excluded individuals from participating in all forms of gaming. Operators commit to providing customers with informed choices regarding gaming through easy-to-understand responsible gaming tools, and all entities will continue to conduct research to track the impact of this collaboration.

Furthermore, the principles include the introduction and effective promotion of a national, uniform, toll-free responsible gaming helpline, and socially responsible advertising that avoids images that may tempt minors in its marketing content.

Other provisions call for a "shared responsibility approach to addressing problem gaming" and a commitment to "collaborating with policymakers, academics, researchers, problem gaming treatment organizations, advocacy groups and partners" as well as customers to promote responsible gaming and address problem gaming.

The collaboration also commits to employee training and operators to continually monitor their respective responsible gaming programs and initiatives to ensure they comply with applicable standards.

" Bally's is proud to partner with all participating operators. We are committed to the 12-point pledge and it is Bally's and the industry's responsibility to prevent underage gaming and provide education and safeguards.

Joshua Jessen, Chief Legal Officer at BetMGM, said, "Responsible gaming is at the forefront of everything we do at BetMGM. We operate in a competitive industry, but we are proud to work with our colleagues to adopt such important principles. Creating a consistent standard of responsible gaming strengthens our commitment to our customers, employees and the communities in which we operate. We look forward to continuing this work in the future."

Chrissy Thurmond, Senior Director of Responsible Gaming at DraftKings, said, "An essential part of promoting safer play is a framework for operators to guide responsible gaming. DraftKings has committed to adopting the 12-point pledge across participating operators. "We are pleased to have been part of this groundbreaking effort that has led to the adoption of the Responsible Gaming Principles by the United States.

Entain's Martin Ricca, Senior Vice President, U. S. Regulatory Affairs and Responsible Gambling, praised the collaborators for recognizing a national need and committing their organizations to action. "The principles are an important milestone, and we are pleased that other major operators have joined us in our commitment to responsible gaming in the fast-growing U. S. market. This is truly a first for this market, and a significant step in consistently addressing problem gaming."

We have all the tools -- the research, the data, the partners -- to establish an effective national code of responsible gaming principles. And we hope that our industry and state regulators will join us in promoting these principles. "Our patrons deserve it.

Adam Warrington, vice president of responsible gaming at FanDuel, said, "FanDuel is committed to working with and partnering with all participating operators, and our entire industry, on the 12 Principles for Responsible Online Gaming. Together, we have the privilege and opportunity to set the standard for being a responsible operator.

Stephen Martino, senior vice president and chief compliance officer at MGM Resorts, said, "Responsibility has long been a core value at MGM Resorts and a guiding principle in our leadership in the industry. Coming together as an industry with a unified approach and standards puts the best interests of our guests, customers and their families at the forefront. This is the right thing to do for our customers, our industry and our business.
