PrizePicks secures iCAP accreditation from the NCPG

The largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, PrizePicks, announced it secured a prestigious certification, highlighting its dedication to responsible gambling in the United States.

Earlier this week, the company confirmed that the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), the leading American nonprofit organization, recognized it with its Internet Compliance Assessment Program (iCAP) accreditation.

iCAP accreditation follows rigorous assessment

Securing iCAP accreditation, PrizePicks meets the highest standards for responsible gambling and consumer protection set by the NCPG.

The recognizable accreditation recognizes the efforts of companies across the country toward protecting their customers and dedication to responsible gaming.

To win the iCAP accreditation, PrizePicks has undergone an extensive independent review.

The company's internal policies, responsible gaming practices and known-your-customer (KYC) protocols have all undergone assessment.

The evaluation involved review of PrizePicks' RG tools, regulatory compliance processes, work culture, employee training and other vital practices.

Ultimately, the NCPG's evaluation concluded that PrizePicks' dedication, efforts and policies for consumer protection and responsible gambling are in line with the highest Internet Responsible Gaming standards.

The aforementioned standards are developed with the help of identifying best practices from gambling markets across the globe and are a testament to a company's dedication toward responsible gambling.

A testament to PrizePicks' dedication to responsible gambling includes the number of partnerships the company has established with trusted companies, including EPIC Global Solutions, IC360 and Kindbridge Behavioral Health, among others.

Thanks to such collaborations, PrizePicks constantly evolves its responsible gaming tools, ensuring the protection and well-being of its growing customer base.

The milestone achievement brings excitement to PrizePicks, NCPG

Jaime D. Costello, NCPG's Director of Programs, commented on the latest iCAP accreditation, Casino Guru News learned from a press release.

"We are proud to recognize PrizePicks as the first daily fantasy sports operator to receive iCAP accreditation," the executive explained.

Finally, Costello pointed out: "This achievement highlights their unwavering commitment to player protection and promoting positive play, setting a new benchmark for excellence in the industry."

Mike Ybarra, PrizePicks' CEO, was similarly thrilled and added: "This certification is a powerful recognition of the culture we've built at PrizePicks, and an incredible honor that underscores our unwavering commitment to putting player safety first."

In conclusion, Ybarra said: "I want to extend my sincere thanks to the NCPG for their thorough evaluation, and to our exceptional team for setting the bar as an industry leader in responsible gaming."

Back in January, the NCPG announced it awarded International Game Technology (IGT), with its iCAP accreditation.

Similarly to PrizePicks, IGT has gone through extensive monitoring to ensure its compliance with the NCPG responsible gambling standards.
