It’s easier than ever to gamble, but this brings a greater risk of problem play. With an estimated 2.2 million or 4.5% of players at-risk or problem gamers in the UK, gaming operators need to work continually to prevent customers crossing the line from fun to addiction and financial distress.
Gaming Affordability IQ provides more accurate insight on an individual’s financial well-being sourced from the UK’s most popular credit bureau. It provides real-time access to data on a player’s capacity to play to inform spending limits and identify vulnerability.
Using this information, you can make better informed and more balanced decisions that don’t impact on a player’s experience or enjoyment whilst meeting your regulatory responsibility to protect customers and avoid foreseeable harm.
Enhanced Financial Risk Assessments – access to UK’s most popular credit bureau to inform a more detailed assessment of financial risk to address binge gambling and players facing significant financial risk. Our real-time, frictionless insight includes changes in consumer credit behaviour, analysis of current account income and expenditure behaviour, alerts on emerging or low financial resilience.
Open Data – for deeper insight you can access, with consumer consent, digital payslips to verify employment and source of income or Open Banking to verify spending behaviour including gambling, current account balance, disposable income and use of overdraft.
