In today’s fast-paced business world, organisations face the constant challenge of providing their staff with the required knowledge and skills to excel. Traditional training approaches are progressively being superseded by innovative solutions due to rapid technological improvements.

One such alternative is to collaborate with a company like ours, iGaming Academy, an e-learning provider that offers comprehensive training programmes tailored to your organisation’s specific needs. In this blog post, we will look at the advantages of working with iGaming Academy and condensing your training materials into a personalised e-learning platform.

  1. Tailored Learning Experiences:

Being able to design a unique learning experience for your staff is one of the major benefits of working with iGaming Academy. We have expertise in instructional design and can collaborate with you to customise and create engaging and relevant training modules that correspond with your organisation’s goals, industry standards, and/or employee skill sets. iGaming Academy’s LMS system provides you with the possibility to customise the platform using the company logo, style, colours, and imagery.

  1. Enhanced Accessibility:

Traditional face to face training approaches frequently involves scheduling issues, limited resources, and geographical limits. With iGaming Academy’s Learning Management System, we provide a centralised platform to distribute training materials, whereby employees can access training content at their own leisure, regardless of time zone or physical location. In addition, they can also participate in training programmes where convenient for them, whether at the office, on the road, or working remotely.

  1. Cost-Effectiveness:

Organisations can incur large costs for training programmes, including instructor fees, travel, lodging, and printed materials. Your company can considerably minimise these costs by collaborating with iGaming Academy since our courses and platform eliminate the need for physical classrooms and printed materials. Furthermore, with a personalised e-learning portal, you can streamline and consolidate your training resources, lowering administrative expenses and time necessary to handle training logistics.

  1. Monitoring Performance and Progress:

It is important to have a system in place that can track an employee’s learning and understanding of important company documents. This is typically one of the most important features of an LMS. Our LMS has advanced tracking and reporting features, and when we make reference to tracking this relates to both live and complete data. For example, with your dedicated Client Services Manager, different reports can be created depending on the information you require from that uploaded training material. With the reports having easy to understand graphics embedded these can be used alongside appraisals of performance for teams or individuals.

  1. Consistency and Scalability:

As your organisation expands or evolves, iGaming Academy’s e-learning solutions provide scalability and consistent training experiences. To meet the changing needs of your company and guarantee that every employee has the same training experience, we can modify the course materials as needed. Whether you’re onboarding new personnel, upskilling existing staff, or adopting new processes, our platform provides a dependable and standardised method of delivering training to your whole team.

Conclusion:

Partnering with an iGaming Academy and utilising a personalised e-learning portal offers various benefits for organisations looking to improve the skills and knowledge of their employees. With tailored learning experiences, enhanced accessibility, cost-effectiveness, performance monitoring, and scalability, our comprehensive approach to training helps streamline processes, drive employee development, and ensure consistent training experiences across your entire team.

While gambling can be a form of entertainment for some, it can also become a serious problem for others. As a training provider in the gaming industry, we recognise the vital role we play in helping our clients understand how to protect players who may be at risk of developing a gambling addiction, and believe through continued education on the subject, we can help keep the conversation ongoing.

One of the ways in which the protection of problem gamblers is prioritised is through mandatory funding. In jurisdictions like the Isle of Man, operators are required to contribute to a central fund, with some going beyond these mandatory requirements by making additional voluntary donations. This funding is utilised to promote, support, and educate others about problem gambling, which helps to maintain ongoing awareness of the issue.

Within the UK, a similar initiative applies by requiring operators to contribute to a national research, education, and treatment fund, as well as making affordability checks on customers an obligatory requirement. These measures demonstrate the UK’s dedication to tackling problem gambling and supporting those affected by it, keeping the conversation on the issue ongoing.

But what can we as individuals do to help? Initiating a conversation with someone you suspect may be struggling with problem gambling can be a powerful step towards finding a solution. While it may seem intimidating, starting a conversation can make a significant difference in helping someone overcome their challenges. By taking action and encouraging someone to seek help, you can help them regain control over their gambling habits and improve their overall well-being.

If you know someone who might be struggling, click here for useful tips on how to start a conversation. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this issue.

Looking for multi-jurisdictional responsible gambling training for your business – our plug-in solution is perfect for just this. Contact us here to learn more.

Many companies make use of a Learning Management System (LMS). The question is though, does your LMS support all of your training needs within one system? At iGaming Academy, we find that the companies who onboard our Management Services package truly reap the benefits when it comes to employee learning and engagement. It saves both the L&D team and the employees time and effort because all the relevant training courses, policies, and procedures are available from the same location.

Here are some further benefits for hosting your company’s content on an LMS:

  1. Personalised Company space:

When we talk about company content, we are aware that the best way to provide training, policies and procedures are to have them all in one place. This ensures that the users have a centralised system which they can refer to for training. From a branding perspective, it is always recommended that the system is accommodating to your company needs and is personalised.

iGaming Academy’s LMS system provides you with the possibility to customise the platform using the company logo, style, colours, and imagery.

  1. Hosting your own training such as presentation and video training:

Many companies provide internal training to their staff; however, it can be a hassle to ensure that everyone required is present on the day of the training or ensure that they have visibility of everyone who attended.

With iGaming Academy’s Management Services package, companies can upload the training to the portal, or we can create an affirmation button for all attendees to confirm their attendance.

  1. Policies and procedures:

There are plenty of policies and procedures which a company has and the staff need to comply with. The most common struggle for companies is to have all these documents available in one place for the users to affirm and reference thereafter.

Our LMS can be structured and organised for such documents ensuring that the users are always able to refer to the required documents when needed.

  1. Tracking and reporting:

It is important to have a system in place that can track an employee’s learning and understanding of important company documents. This is typically one of the most important features of an LMS.

Our LMS has advanced tracking and reporting features, and when we make reference to tracking this relates to both live and complete data. For example, with your dedicated Client Services Manager, different reports can be created depending on the information you require from that uploaded training material. With the reports having easy to understand graphics embedded these can be used alongside appraisals of performance for teams or individuals.

The benefits to a company and its employees on having a fully functional LMS is worth investing in. Why not?contact us?to set up a demo of iGaming Academy’s LMS, it’s the perfect time to join and invest in knowledge and training!

Technology has enabled our world to get smaller. It has enabled companies of all sizes to operate globally, employing staff all over the world.

Language barriers, however, can seriously inhibit company success – particularly when it comes to training. When new employees join, they expect induction and training content to be delivered in their native language.

One of the most popular features on iGaming Academy’s Learning Management System (LMS), therefore, is the ability to host translated content, easily and effectively.

Through a language drop-down on iGaming Academy’s white-labelled solution portal, a trainee can switch to their preferred language, changing the portal text and content to view the translated course. Translations can be enabled for any off-the-shelf content, bespoke modules, or even any internal training provided by our clients.

Let’s take a look to see why this is useful for your company and the key business benefits of operating a multi-language LMS.

Benefit 1: Higher employee satisfaction

This gives you a competitive edge when it comes to recruiting and retaining staff. It allows staff to train in the language they are most comfortable operating in. At the same time, employees will appreciate that their company allocated resources to accommodate them. This will also help you gain respect within the gaming industry, as translating your eLearning demonstrates that you are committed to training your employees in an inclusive way.

Benefit 2: Improved learning outcomes

While more and more people speak English, training is often more effective when carried out in learners’ native language. Translated eLearning modules will increase the accuracy of your eLearning and ensure that certain content is truly understood. This comes in particularly useful for those international companies who have betting shops and land-based casinos in different countries.

Benefit 3: ?Increased confidence

Translated eLearning content assures that your staff don’t get ‘lost in translation’. You have made your training as clear as you can knowing that learners retain more information when it’s presented in their native language, which leads to instilling confidence in what they’ve learnt and how they can apply it to their day-to-day operations, resulting in better performance.

iGaming Academy’s courses are “translation-ready”, and our LMS was designed to cater for both Latin and non-Latin-based languages, catering for all of your language needs.

Our Content Managers will provide you with all the necessary guidance needed for a seamless translation process. When the course is set up to your liking, our Client Service Managers will manage the training to roll out to your staff, catering for your global language needs to empower your employees.

Online gaming is the most profit-making segment in the gaming industry today worldwide and this is especially true of the Canadian market. The Canadian market is expanding year-on-year making gambling the major industry and contributor to the?Canadian?economy. In fact, the gaming market in Canada is estimated to be worth $15 billion which means that gaming is the largest industry of?Canada’s?economy!

The industry growth is driven by the extreme popularity of gambling among Canadians. A 2020 survey of Canadian gaming audiences found that 61 percent of Canada nationals aged 34 on average participated in gaming activities. Statistics says that most of the money is spent on slots, followed by lottery tickets and card games, such as?blackjack?and poker. Unfortunately, these statistics do not include sports betting, however this business vertical is also extremely popular in Canada.

Speaking about industry statistics by province, it’s worth mentioning that gambling participation in?Quebec?is around 66%, while in Ontario it reaches 83%. Out of CA$17.3 billion that the Canadian gambling industry generated in 2017, 43% was generated in Ontario. No wonder; Ontario is leading the development of the online gambling industry in the country. Ontario became the first province to run a private market for iGaming and sports betting on April 4.

Establishing of a regulated iGaming?market?in Ontario province will ensure that the Ontario nationals will get access to safe and legal?gambling. According to the survey, many Canadians are in a denial with problem gambling or feel like they can’t stop even if they wanted to. A small 2% off all gamblers in Canada admitted to having occasionally thought about themselves as problem gamblers. 15% of respondents never thought they were being excessive with their gambling activities.?Lottery is so widespread that most people don’t even consider it gambling. The Problem Gambling Institute of Ontario reports an estimated 3.2% of Canadians experience gambling addiction.

Responsible Gaming is a key priority of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). Licensed operators must ensure that gaming is provided in a safe and secure environment and promotes Responsible Gaming. The requirements are outlined in the AGCO Registrants’ Standards for Internet Gaming. iGaming Ontario (iGO) is the subsidiary corporation of AGCO and must ensure that all iGaming sites licenced in Ontario have strong?player protections and responsible gaming?requirements.

iGaming Ontario (iGO) is also a reporting entity under Section 5 of the PCMLTF. It’s responsible for implementing the AML Compliance Program and overseeing certain day-to-day activities it has outsourced to operators. iGO provides guidance on player identification, transaction monitoring and regulatory reporting to the operators and is accountable for meeting the regulatory requirements under the PCMLTFA.

Powered by proprietary algorithm that spots 25 different risk indicators, Kindred’s new player safety system has delivered impressive improvements in RG for the operator. So, how does it work?

Renowned as a leader in the field of responsible gambling, Kindred has recently made a step-change in its RG performance. As reported in iGaming Business earlier this year, uptake of its RG tools has improved almost across the board going into 2022.

In fact, the company has set itself on an ambitious path to earning zero revenue from gambling harm in 2023.

Kindred’s success – and its growing confidence – in the RG field can largely be attributed to a system it calls PS-EDS, or “Player Safety – Early Detection System”. Introduced in 2018, PS-EDS has improved both the efficiency and the effectiveness of Kindred’s RG activities.

So, how does it actually work?

In a recent webinar hosted by iGaming Academy – available to watch in full online – Maris Catania, Kindred’s Head of Responsible Gaming & Research, shared the secrets behind PS-EDS and its success.

Foundations: Psychological Tools And Original Research

The first secret of Kindred’s success isn’t a secret at all. PS-EDS is based on original research conducted by the company. Instead of keeping it to themselves, Kindred published the full report freely for all to see (find it here: Applying the DSM-5 Criteria For Gambling Disorder to Online Gambling Account-Based Tracking Data: An Empirical Study Utilizing Cluster Analysis [Published by Maris Catania and Mark D Griffiths].)

In the report, the authors take a global standard measure of mental health disorders (‘DSM’ is the ‘Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’) and apply it to specific cases within online gambling, utilising Kindred’s significant access to player and activity data.

The DSM outlines numerous behaviours that, if four or more are displayed, may indicate a gambling disorder. The behaviours include: preoccupation; tolerance; withdrawal; loss of control; escapism; chasing; lying, risked significant relationships; bailout.

Catania and Griffiths performed a cluster analysis and mapped the DSM behaviours against activity they could track within Kindred’s accounts. This provided a robust, research-based model on which to build an operational system.

Building The Algorithm

The next task, explains Catania, was “translating this research into operational reality.”

At the core of PS-EDS is an algorithm which considers 25 risk indicators and grades accounts according to their risk level. It’s about “pinpointing the markers of harm,” says Catania, utilising the insights gleaned from their original results.

The highest risk accounts – priority 1 – are highlighted for immediate intervention. At risk level 2, a moderated level of intervention, both human and automated, is applied. And at the lowest end of the scale, level 3, automation ensures that RG messaging reaches a broader audience as an early intervention measure.

In the webinar, Catania demonstrates how the system works with an example account. Registered in 2007, this customer was flagged by PS-EDS in 2018 for three reasons: change in pattern of behaviour; velocity of transactions; and increases after losses. An onsite message was triggered, after which the customer self-regulated and returned to normal behaviour.

The same customer was flagged again in 2019, and this time was deemed a higher risk. As a result, Kindred’s RG team stepped in to issue a personalised communication. Again, the individual self-regulated and was ultimately retained as a loyal customer.

PS-EDS is a system that’s built on solid research, but that is also designed to fit seamlessly within Kindred’s operational systems.

Kindred’s Results: Safer, Better Operations

The vast majority of those gambling online do so for fun. The field of responsible gaming is concerned with identifying the small percentage of customers at risk of harm.

The PS-EDS system has been critical in enabling Kindred to lead the market in the responsible gaming field.

In 2019, the company contacted over 40,000 customers with its RG messaging. It recognises behavioural change in 80% of detected customers.

There’s good business sense in this proactive approach to RG. Not only is Kindred minimising its exposure to regulatory risk, but in fact it is also building relationships of trust with its customer base.

Customers contacted as a result of PS-EDS detection often become even more loyal long term. “When we started PS-EDS,” shares Catania, “we saw a reduction in people self-excluding, but actually an increase in people using limits.”

PS-EDS will be central to Kindred’s mission to completely eliminate revenue from gambling harm by 2023. It’s an inspiring example of how academic research, smart technology and operational efficiency can come together to improve outcomes for both the business and its customers.
