Mindway AI partners with AnonyMind to fight gambling addiction

Companies continue to demonstrate their commitment to addressing the pressing matter of gambling addiction. Several universal approaches have been established over the past years, with early prevention and intervention. One of the leading new-age ideas is early intervention before gambling addiction fully takes hold and assisting individuals with personalized treatment.

Mindway AI and AnonyMind, two notable experts in the matters of problem gambling and gambling addiction, have teamed up to address the matter more comprehensively by not only intervening early to prevent problem gambling and addiction but also offering personalized treatments to victims and their families as part of a joint effort.

Mindway AI leverages advanced player protection technology that uses machine learning algorithms and input from human psychologists. This way, the company is capable of identifying at-risk gambling behavior and the company’s software is able to detect warning signs of problem behavior, which is then relayed to operators who can intervene to prevent addiction.

Mindway AI’s software has been successfully and effectively deployed in 21 countries and reaches more than 6.5 million players every month, with the company making recent strides in Australia and the United States.

Even the best intervention and prevention software would need to anticipate people falling victim to addiction anyway. This is where AnonyMind comes in. The company specializes in what it describes as "personalized and evidence-based psychological treatments." This way, AnonyMind focuses to create effective ways for players to navigate the issue of gambling addiction and find a way back to normal life.

AnonyMind uses proven and established treatment solutions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, 3rd Wave CBT models, DBT-informed approaches and EMDR. The organization also seeks to offer help the family members that may be affected by a loved one’s gambling addiction and problem gambling issues.

The two companies bring their tools together to offer an even more robust response in addressing the issues that stem from problem gambling and provide consumers with the opportunity to overcome addiction – either by prevention or treatment. MindwayAI CEO Rasmus Kjaergaard hailed this opportunity and said:

"At Mindway AI, we are committed to using our technology to help operators promote responsible gambling and prevent addiction. We are thrilled to partner with AnonyMind, who share our commitment to addressing this important issue."

The news was welcomed by AnonyMind Head of Partnerships Andrew Plummer who was excited to see AnonyMind CarePlus service used to proactively identify problem gambling and provide the necessary treatment to prevent escalation of harmful behaviors. "We look forward to this collaboration and the important insights that can be gained through truly independent early identification and intervention," Plummer said.
