Powerhouse sports betting and gaming company BetMGM recently achieved the prestigious RG Check accreditation from the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), taking responsible gaming to the next level.
BetMGM's commitment to responsible gaming and player protection is unrivaled, making it one of the industry's most comprehensive and rigorous responsible gaming accreditation programs.
What is the RG Check Program?
The RG Check accreditation program is a leading responsible gambling program that helps gambling venues and iGaming sites evaluate, monitor, and manage their responsible gambling strategies. It provides evidence-led standards and assures bettors that gambling providers take their safety seriously.
An independent panel backs the program and aims to increase public confidence in responsible gambling programs. Companies like BetMGM that receive the RG Check accreditation are recognized for their high standards in responsible gambling, which can improve their reputation and show their commitment to providing a safe environment for their customers to play.
BetMGM's CEO, Adam Greenblatt, commented on the achievement, stating, "We are proud to have received this prestigious RG Check certification. This accreditation is a testament to our ongoing efforts to promote responsibility throughout our business and to ensure the well-being of our customers. We will continue to work closely with the RGC and other industry partners to promote a culture of safe and enjoyable gambling."
Evaluation Process
BetMGM underwent an extensive evaluation process to ensure that their responsible gaming policies and procedures, staff training, and player protection measures were up to par. The RGC left no stone unturned in their review, ensuring that BetMGM had comprehensive and robust responsible gaming policies and practices.
BetMGM had to demonstrate its commitment to responsible gaming by providing tangible evidence of its staff training programs and responsible gaming initiatives. The RGC also reviewed BetMGM's player protection measures, including measures to prevent underage gambling, self-exclusion policies, and procedures for handling player complaints.
Partnership with GameSense and the International Center for Responsible Gaming
BetMGM's partnership with GameSense and the International Center for Responsible Gaming has enabled the company to proactively promote responsible gaming practices and become the first major sportsbook to do so in the US and Canada.
This partnership contributes to BetMGM's safe gambling practices by allowing customers to set spending limits, control their gambling behavior, and dispel common gambling misconceptions.
Integration of Responsible Gaming Tools
In addition to its partnership with GameSense and the International Center for Responsible Gaming, BetMGM has integrated responsible gaming tools into its digital platforms, providing customers with a safe and entertaining digital experience.
These responsible gaming tools allow customers to set spending limits, control their gambling behavior, and dispel common gambling misconceptions. The BetMGM mobile app and desktop platforms offer customers the same experience they have come to expect at MGM Resorts properties nationwide.
Recognition for BetMGM's Commitment
BetMGM's commitment to responsible gaming has not gone unnoticed. Shelley White, CEO of RGC, praised the company for achieving the RG Check accreditation, saying,
"Congratulations to BetMGM on achieving the RG Check accreditation for all of its North American platforms. This accomplishment is a clear demonstration that BetMGM has a strong commitment to responsible gambling and player safety. We commend BetMGM for its dedication to promoting responsible gambling practices and its efforts to ensure the well-being of its players."
