Videoslots beefs up responsible gambling toolkit with bar widget

Videoslots has launched a new dedicated responsible gambling widget. The responsible gambling bar is due to be launched during the UK’s Safer Gambling Week this month and will be visible at all times after players log in to their accounts. The bar features an 18+ badge, a session timer and direct links to GAMSTOP, the UK Gambling Commission and the operator’s responsible gambling page. The widget will be displayed at the top of the users’ screen across mobile, tablet and desktop. The addition of the responsible gambling bar will allow Videoslots customers to take further control over their gambling. The online casino already offers a suite of tools, including wagering and session limits, as well as time-out opportunities. Amina Norgosanow, Videoslots head of responsible gambling, said: “The responsible gaming bar will make sure our players are always aware of the time they spend on the Videoslots site. “It gives them easy and direct access to information and assistance, like responsible gaming tools and self-exclusion, and will help them stay in control from the start to the finish of their customer journey,” she added. Norgosanow also noted the importance of implementing further responsible gambling tools for customers in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. She said: “In more general terms, it will enhance the standard of protection that our players enjoy and reduce gambling-related harm. That is especially important while the coronavirus pandemic makes some players more vulnerable. “With any luck the pandemic will be over soon, but our players can rest assured that the responsible gaming bar will remain as an important and prominent feature on the Videoslots site,” she concluded.
