Doing what’s right for customers
• We added two new markers to our behavioural algorithm – comparing a customer’s activity pre and post lockdown
• We also replaced our TV adverts with dedicated safer gambling ads
• We significantly increased our Responsible Gambling (RG) team to be more proactive with customers
• Technology enables us to help customers manage their activity:
• 9 out of 10 new customers in 2019 used RG tools• Helped double the number of customers using RG tools between 2018 and 2019
“Despite the adverse impact from lockdown on revenues, our belief is that we should always act in the interest of the customer and we therefore took a number of steps to enhance our customer safety net during COVID-19
RESPONSIBILITY = SUSTAINABILITY
“There is no evidence to suggest an increase in
problem gambling”
