The modernization of regulations for the gambling industry in European Union countries brings different challenges for casinos and online casinos. On the one hand, they have to adapt their offer to the new era full of technological advances in order not to fall behind. On the other hand, they also demand improvements in terms of player safety and their own social responsibility.
With that in mind, there are several operators who have made strides in perfecting their responsible gambling techniques. Techniques for limiting gaming time and the number of transactions, underage limits, identity verification limits, and support systems for players having betting problems.
However the Peralada group The company has gone one step further and obtained historic certification for its three physical casinos in the Iberian Peninsula. Casino Barcelona, Casino Peralada and Casino Tarragona are the first three centers in our country to receive the European Casino Association’s Responsible Gaming seal (RCT).
The European body commissioned an audit months ago, using the group Global Gambling Policy to collect the relevant data. Indicators examined include player education, staff education, research and awareness of these techniques, stakeholder engagement, entry policies, and sophisticated advertising and marketing.
The factory stated that, given the results, the three Catalan casinos are capable of receiving the aforementioned award. This is logical considering that the same auditor also issues its own responsible gambling accreditations and the casinos of the Peralada Group hold them.
In the gaming company’s press release accompanying this news, the congratulations of Erwin van Lambaart, President of the ECA, on this award are attached: “We must congratulate them on participating in the certification process and meeting the highest standards of the ECA Responsible Gaming Framework. Responsible gaming is the principle to which all ECA members are fully committed.”
And how could it be otherwise, José María Roig, as CEO of the Peralada Group, thanked the institution and expressed his appreciation that its casinos were the first to reach this milestone in Spain. “The aim is Promoting a new gaming culture in which this activity is carried out out of the realm of entertainment and within controllable limits,” he added of his future goals.
The federation’s responsible gaming guidelines apply not only to land-based casinos, but also to also on the online platform of Casino Barcelona. Its primary concerns are to minimize the potential negative effects of gambling, to contribute to a gaming culture that includes the limits that gamblers can accept, and to work with organizations that support people with addiction problems.
And given the news, all of these points have long been met at some of the best casinos in Spain that exist. And the collaboration agreements that the Peralada Group has signed with companies such as the Bellvitge Hospital (more precisely with its Department of Pathological Gambling and Behavioral Addiction) and its Biomedical Research Institute or the Catalan Association of the Center for Social Additions and the Generalitat of Catalonia.
