Player Protection in the UKTrust Department, the gaming industry's leading player security platform, has announced a new strategic partnership with Vulnerability Reporting Service (VRS). The aim of this collaboration is to strengthen the protection of gambling operators in the UK through innovative solutions and joint initiatives.
The Department of Trust's DoTrust Complete platform now integrates a central database of vulnerable VRS users. This allows gambling operators to conduct official VRS checks and receive risk flags based on data provided by the VRS database. It is important to note that this information reveals minimal personal information about the subjects.
Expanding Access to ServicesTo date, approximately 700,000 people have registered for VRS services. It is important that registration can be carried out not only independently, but also through trusted parties such as the NHS, banks, charities and governing bodies.
Helen Lord, CEO of the Vulnerability Reporting Service, emphasized the importance of the new partnership:
“This partnership with the Trust Department is an important step in protecting people from the potential risks of gambling. Our service and this new alliance will help reduce risk by ensuring regulatory compliance and best practices.”
Charles Cohen, CEO of Trust Department, added:
“This is an important development for us and for the entire gambling industry, especially in light of the new rules that will come into force in a few weeks. Operators have a responsibility to identify vulnerable customers, and with our new partnership they will be able to do this effectively and without compromising customer privacy.”
Responsible Gaming SupportIn the latest news regarding responsible gaming in the UK, the Betting and Gaming Council has expressed support for the Labor Party's manifesto statement, which outlined plans to improve regulation in this area.
The partnership between the Trust Department and the Vulnerability Reporting Service is becoming an important element of the strategy to protect players in gambling. It aims to create a safe and regulated environment where every customer can feel protected and confident in the fairness and transparency of gaming processes.
