Daisy White: “Rdentify helps companies revolutionize RG practices, not check boxes”

Daisy White, AI Business Development Manager at Rdentify, has sat down with Casino Guru News to discuss the role financial institutions play in helping protect consumers against gambling addiction, the pioneering efforts Rdentify has been driving in building player protection tools, and how regulatory alignment and innovative customer interaction can help businesses strengthen and understand the needs of responsible gambling to drive a sustainable operational model and safer gaming environment.

Q: Why is it important for financial firms to be able to spot signs of gambling addiction and where is the financial industry today in terms of ensuring that vulnerable consumers do not over-spend? Do you think it's fair to expect such firms to be more aware of RG?

Fantastic question, Rdentify believes financial institutions play a vital role in spotting signs of gambling addiction and preventing vulnerable consumers from overspending as they have a duty of care. By offering gambling blocks, and collaborating with the gaming industry and charities, we believe financial institutions are starting to take proactive steps to address this serious problem.

In addition to investing in staff education, financial institutions are also exploring innovative solutions to enhance prevention efforts. For example, Rdentify offers a real-time touchpoint solution that uses bot technology to engage customers on safer gambling, address concerns, and provide educational support. This integrated approach demonstrates a commitment to consumer well-being and a proactive stance against gambling addiction.

While the financial industry has made significant strides in recent years, there is still room for improvement. Financial institutions can further enhance their prevention efforts by promoting financial literacy, educating customers about gambling risks, and collaborating with other stakeholders to develop comprehensive prevention strategies.

Q: The ban on credit card use for gambling has been a major success. What do you think financial institutions can do better to assist consumers steer clear from harm and do you think it's at least partially in their remit to do so?

The ban on credit card use in gambling has indeed been a significant success. Financial institutions can further assist consumers by implementing proactive measures, such as allowing deposit limits to curb excessive gambling. It is unequivocally within their remit to prioritise consumer well-being. Outreach efforts, facilitated by Rdentify's SafeBot tech, could educate customers on responsible gambling, answer queries, and link them to relevant facilities.

Stakeholders and regulators appreciate Rdentify's pioneering efforts in developing player protection tools tailored for modern challenges, such as Mindful Mate's ability to engage players in real-time to build rapport, uncover personal preferences, and create a controlled gambling environment that fosters responsible play.

The evolving landscape presents not just challenges but opportunities to redefine player experiences, ensuring a harmonious and responsible future for the gambling industry.
