FAQs

Casinos should conduct comprehensive responsible gaming program audits bi-annually, with ongoing monthly reviews of key components such as self-exclusion lists and staff training records. Additionally, quarterly assessments of problem gambling incident reports should be performed.

Key areas include evaluation of self-exclusion processes, assessment of problem gambling identification and intervention procedures, review of responsible gaming information materials, analysis of staff training effectiveness, examination of age verification protocols, and evaluation of responsible advertising practices.

The audit should involve a team including the casino's responsible gaming manager, compliance officer, human resources director, customer service manager, and potentially external responsible gaming consultants or addiction specialists.

The checklist ensures that comprehensive measures are in place to identify and assist at-risk individuals, including staff training for early detection, readily available self-exclusion options, and clear pathways for accessing support services, all contributing to problem gambling prevention and mitigation.

Yes, while some aspects may need to be tailored, the core principles of responsible gaming apply to both land-based and online operations. The checklist can be adapted to address the unique challenges and opportunities for responsible gaming in each environment.
