After months of behind-the-scenes work, Casino Guru is pleased to announce the official launch of the initiative to build a global self-exclusion system, with the goal of making online gambling safer for everyone and reducing harm caused by it to vulnerable players.

The team behind Casino Guru, a global informational website about online casinos, is always looking for things to improve within the gambling industry, especially in regard to player safety and fairness. When reviewing casinos and helping players mistreated by dishonest gambling sites, they kept noticing the insufficient protection offered by currently available self-exclusion tools.

That’s why they launched the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, aiming to put things into motion and work towards creating a tool that has the potential to significantly increase player protection on a global level.

Simon Vincze, the manager of Casino Guru’s responsible gambling projects, leads their efforts in this area. He explains the reasoning behind the initiative: “Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools to reduce gambling-related harm caused to vulnerable players. It allows players to block their access to gambling and therefore limit the negative impact of it on their lives. However, the effectiveness of self-exclusion is limited because of the scope of current options.”

According to Simon, the main drawback of current self-exclusion options is the fact that they can be circumvented by playing in a different casino or by looking for foreign operators that don’t have to comply with nation-wide schemes available in the player’s country. For this reason, he believes that current self-exclusion options are not an effective tool in blocking addicted players’ access to online gambling.

He believes that a global system could help fix these shortcomings: “If there was a truly global system in place, players would have an effective tool that could stop them from playing despite their efforts to circumvent the system when feeling cravings to start gambling again.”

Displaying ads to self-excluded players is also part of the issue. No gambling ads or promotional materials should be displayed or sent to players that have decided to exclude themselves from gambling activities. However, according to Simon, the closedness of the systems currently in place limits their effectiveness in this regard.

He also added that continuous help should be a much bigger part of self-exclusion: “…we feel that self-excluded players could benefit from a closer cooperation with problem gambling help and prevention centers, helping them overcome problem gambling or reduce gambling-related harm more than self-exclusion alone can.”

Casino Guru aims to create a reliable global self-exclusion system that allows people to exclude from all online gambling opportunities at once, on a global level. They also hope to be able to prove excluded players with resources and help they need to address the underlying issue of their addiction to increase their chances of a full recovery. Their goal is to create a system that becomes an industry standard, similar to that of gambling only being available to people that are at least 18 years old.

That said, they realise that they will not be able to do it alone. “We launched this initiative, because we knew that we would never be able to achieve something like this alone. Successfully carrying out such an ambitious project requires cooperation of multiple and varied members of the gambling industry,” Simon added.

For this reason, the first phase of the initiative will focus on spreading awareness of the issue and collecting feedback from the public and predominantly from industry professionals. Simon and the entire Casino Guru team hope to gain valuable feedback about the best way to implement such a system, as well as the effectiveness and feasibility of it all.

Casino Guru invites members of the gambling industry interested to join the initiative, discuss anything related to responsible gambling, or learn more about the goals of the initiative to reach out.

Douglas Roos casino looks to improve retention across markets  

Enteractive, the global leader in player reactivation and retention for the iGaming industry, has announced a new partnership with FrankFred to reactivate NDCs and NRCs for the Frank & Fred Casino.

Frank & Fred Casino, co-founded by iGaming entrepreneurs Douglas Roos and Simon Jernstrom, started reactivation campaigns with Enteractive in February to begin one-to-one player calls for its leading casino brand, Frank & Fred Casino, across markets including Sweden, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Canada, and New Zealand.  In March the activity was expanded to include NRCs for the same markets.

In the first month of activity, Enteractive delivered an overall conversion rate of 35%.

Using Enteractive’s proprietary tech (Re)Activation Cloud platform, FrankFred has been able to  seamlessly integrate their player databases to Enteractive’s reactivation teams using APIs, allowing native-speaking call agents to personalise outreach to dormant player accounts immediately.

Douglas Roos, co-founder at FrankFred, is a well known Nordic entrepreneur, with a wealth of experience in the world of iGaming.  He previously founded Labrokes Norden and has appeared on the Swedish Dragon’s Nest TV series as a venture capitalist.

Of the new partnership, Roos commented, “Enteractive’s innovative approach to player personalisation is both unique and well-established.  We can clearly see the benefits to their one-on-one approach with phone calls rather than digital CRM methods, and we’re looking forward to converting more players from our lapsed databases that are often harder to reach.”

Enteractive’s scalable personalisation approach, with ease of integration and solid ROI for clients sets them apart from other conversion or reactivation offerings, adding value to the players’ brand experience with each and every call.

Simon Jernstrom, FrankFred co-founder, added, “We want all our players to get the most from the FrankFred brand, so reaching out with a personalised approach to player engagement will unlock more traffic from our dormant accounts as well as developing good will and loyalty amongst our userbase.”

Andrew Foster, Enteractive Director of Business Development, commented: “Players respond well to a more personal approach, meaning we can open doors for operators to revenue streams from their previously lost player databases. Our personal calls promote trust and loyalty which allows operators to reduce churn and develop closer relationships with their players”.

Enteractive has more than twelve years experience in player reactivation, and is in the top four traffic generators globally for the iGaming sector.
