Kindred Group uses PS-EDS (Player Safety Early Detection System) technology for its US products. Kindred is trying to reach zero percent revenue from harmful gambling behaviors by 2023. Not all US online gambling operators are taking such proactive measures. There is growing concern that if the industry doesn't rein itself in of its own accord, the backlash could lead to a regulatory crackdown.

PS-EDS is based on research papers, discussions with treatment centers and experts with experience and the DSM-5* criteria for a gambling disorder. The logic behind the thinking of PS- EDS will be peer reviewed and published.

The RG program takes into account every customer that discloses that they have an issue with gambling. If they do not, they are not welcome to play with the company anymore.

The company has banned players due to PS-EDS detection. If the player is detected on PSEDs and they disclose that gambling is causing them stress, they suspend the account and advise them to seek professional advice.

PS-EDS was launched in May/June this year in the first US states. It's a manual process. Unibet wants to introduce PS- EDS in other states as they go live.

Most US states require a common set of responsible gaming tools and operate a state-wide self-exclusion registry. PS-EDS tool is something that is done in addition to what's required to support customers.

Explain the customer breaks implemented for at-risk behavior. The interventions that result from higher levels of gambling harm detection require a more intrusive approach to limiting harm.

Unibet introduced PS-EDS in the US. Unibets will report on the percentage of revenue from problem gamblers in their group shortly.

Unibet pays for everyone to have Gamban, a software which blocks access to online gambling on all devices for free.

Because of data protection, the number of problem gamblers that you find does not reflect how many get treatment. You keep in touch with treatment centers to learn from them about their interventions and evaluate their practices.
