Responsible Gaming: Operator’s Role in Enforcing Self Exclusion Measures in Africa
The upcoming webinar, “Responsible Gaming: Operators’ Role in Enforcing Self-Exclusion Measures in Gaming,” aims to educate gaming operators on the importance of implementing effective self-exclusion measures in Africa to prevent problem gambling and promote responsible gaming practices.
The webinar will explore the role that operators play in enforcing self-exclusion measures and provide practical guidance on how to implement and maintain these measures to protect players.
Problem gambling is a growing concern globally, with millions of people affected worldwide. Gaming operators have a critical role to play in preventing problem gambling by implementing responsible gaming practices, including self-exclusion measures. Self-exclusion measures allow players to voluntarily exclude themselves from participating in certain games or activities for a set period of time, providing a necessary safeguard against problem gambling. Operators must take an active role in enforcing these measures to ensure that players are not able to circumvent them.
During the webinar, experts will discuss the importance of having clear policies and procedures in place for handling self-exclusion requests, as well as the need for robust monitoring and reporting mechanisms to detect and prevent unauthorized access to gaming accounts. The webinar will also cover best practices for communicating with players about self-exclusion measures, including providing clear information about the exclusion process and ensuring that players understand the consequences of breaching their exclusions.

This includes exploring how operators can use marketing and advertising strategies to promote responsible gaming practices, as well as how they can work with players to identify and address problem gambling behaviors early on. By taking a holistic approach to responsible gaming, operators can help to create a safer and more responsible gaming environment for all players.
The webinar is designed for gaming operators, regulators, and industry professionals who are interested in learning more about their role in enforcing self-exclusion measures and promoting responsible gaming practices. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of self-exclusion measures, as well as practical guidance on how to implement and maintain these measures in their own operations.
By attending this webinar, operators can help to ensure that their players are protected from the negative consequences of problem gambling and that their business is contributing to a safer and more responsible gaming industry through the implementation of effective self exclusion measures in Africa.
