Company Lauded for New Efforts
888.com is a company that is certainly going a step above the call of duty with
its 888Responsible.com site that allows players to find a plethora of
information to stop additive gambling habits and seek help for players who do
show addictive habits. 888.com launched the site to coincide with the online
casinos recent Gamcare certification, and as a way to show a concerted effort
toward responsible gambling practices. The site provides comprehensive
information about the gambling industry, destructive online casino gambling
habits, underage gambling, and how to play safely at any internet gambling site.
888 teamed up with a prominent UK watchdog organization that looks out for the
interests of the online casinos players. Gamcare is known for its collaboration
with intern gambling companies on ways that the industry can counter many of the
negatives that are associated with online casino gambling. Gamcare is the
British National Association for Gambling Care Educational Resources & Training,
and the organization uses a certification process as a primary way to indicate
for players that an internet gambling company has met Gamcare’s standards in
responsible gambling.
As for 888, the Head of Online Casino Services at Gamcare, Andrew Poole,
remarked, "We are delighted to award 888 with our certification as a mark of
their excellent standards of practice." He continues, "GamCare recognises the
good work 888.com has achieved in producing an informative site that aims to not
only help people keep their gambling in control, but that also identifies how
people can access support for themselves or someone else who may be affected by
a gambling problem.”
The 888Responsible.com site has already launched and is a great way for online
casinos players to find out more information about pertinent internet gambling
issues. And importantly, the fact that 888.com took the initiative to seek out
Gamcare’s advice and launch the site shows that the internet gambling industry
is moving in the right direction.
