Continuing on from it’s recent development, Pacific Poker announced this week that they have received GamCare certification. GamCare are the leading authority on problem gambling in the UK, and the 888.com group have launched their own website to help their customers gamble responsibly.
The new site provides comprehensive information about responsible gambling, dealing with problem gambling, preventing under-age gambling and charity activity. There is also advice for parents to help them detect if their teenage children have gambling problems.
The Pacific Poker game room also has inbuilt mechanisms to help customers combat potential gambling problems. There is a self-exlusion program where players can request a cooling off period, as well as pre-arranged deposit limits.
Andrew Poole, Head of GamCare's online operation, explained the reasons behind the 888 group receiving certification:
'We are delighted to award 888 with our certification as a mark of their excellent standards of practice. GamCare has a commitment to promote responsible attitudes to gambling, and we recognise the importance of acknowledging those organisations that have attained high standards of social responsibility and player protection, issues that are becoming increasingly important for any remote gambling operator.'
'GamCare recognises the good work 888.com has achieved in producing an informative site that aims to not only help people keep their gambling in control, but that also identifies how people can access support for themselves or someone else who may be affected by a gambling problem,' added Poole.
