JACKPOT FACTORY LAUNCHES RESPONSIBLE GAMING PROGRAM
All group casinos and poker rooms to comply with eCOGRA’s new standards
The Jackpot Factory online gambling group has successfully implemented a responsible
gaming program formulated by eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance
(eCOGRA).
The Microgaming powered online casino and poker group, representing All Slots
Online Casino, All Jackpots Casino, First Web Online Casino, and Wild Jack Casino
and Poker, says in the announcement that it feels that it is imperative for
the online casino gambling industry to act in a proactive and responsible manner
on the issue of responsible gaming.
In compliance with eCOGRA, all Jackpot Factory group casinos offer advice on
how to gamble in a responsible manner and how to detect potential gambling problems.
The casinos allow players to take the National Opinion Research Center of the
University of Chicago’s (NORC) confidential diagnostic test, a highly respected
test used by psychologists across the country.
“The Jackpot Factory Group cares first and foremost about our players.
As such, we take the issue of responsible gaming very seriously, and our managers
have been in constant discussion with eCOGRA to learn how best to implement
this program. We are pleased to be a part of this important effort,” said
David Brickman, spokesperson for the Jackpot Factory group.
“eCOGRA strongly believes that the prevention of underage gambling and
identifying and helping problem gamblers is a core objective in running an integrity-driven
online gambling operation with player protection front-of-mind. Jackpot Factory
is among the first to implement our suggested program, which includes staff
training in this critical area,” said Andrew Beveridge, CEO of eCOGRA.
David Brickman further explained, “Our mission is to promote safe, fun
responsible gaming and for this reason we’re committed to stopping underage
gambling. Casino managers have been trained on the latest technology and ID
techniques to detect red flags as soon as they happen.
“Gambling on video slots, or any other casino game for that matter, is
a great form of leisure and entertainment, but for some it can potentially be
dangerous. If a player needs a cooling off period, we’re going to encourage
them to take one. As one of the largest online casino groups focusing on slots
and roulette, Jackpot Factory is taking this bull by the horns.”
