Bojoko report asks whether changes to VIP schemes go far enough

Operators, lawyers and the Betting and Gaming Council share their thoughts on the latest regulatory changes in the UK

Bojoko has created a special report looking at the industry’s reaction to the Gambling Commission’s decision to tighten requirements for high value customers and VIP schemes.

The online casino comparison site has spoken to operators, lawyers and the Betting and Gaming Council to determine whether the new requirements go far enough.

While the Bojoko team believes an outright ban is the only way to properly protect players, the majority of operators do not believe abolishing VIP schemes is best way forwards.

 

Here are some highlights from the report:

“Through robust Know Your Customer checks for every single existing VIP and new VIPs, as well as increased transparency and accountability, we believe that our operators have the necessary structures in place to ensure high value customers are enjoying gambling safely.”

  • Brigid Simmonds, Betting and Gaming Council

“From the industry’s perspective, I think that there is a hope that if they act now this will head off a proportion of the concerns (and avoid a total ban), and from the Gambling Commission’s perspective, it is seen as being very active in a “problem area”.”

  • Alasdair Lamb, Senior Associate at CMS

“In the case of VIP schemes, banning them pushes the larger operators out of the market and more unregulated casinos benefit while the government loses out on POC tax. I certainly think tweaks can be made to regulation but in most cases, including this one, abolition is not the answer.”

  • James Booth, MrQ

The report also provides insight and guidance for what operators can do to ensure they are ready for the changes when they come into force on 31 October 2020.

Hub88 adds ‘My Products’ dashboard to HubConnect Operator Zone

Hub88 has launched My Products, a new feature inside its HubConnect Operator Zone aimed at simplifying how casino operators configure and activate their content portfolios.

The company said My Products provides a single dashboard where operators can view their product catalogue, track enablement status, configure preferences and bulk-enable games without leaving HubConnect.

For new title launches, Hub88 said partners can select one or more products, choose their preferred RTP and exposure settings, assign titles to brands or environments, and submit a single request. Requests are then routed automatically to technical teams with the required details, according to the company.

The feature also includes advanced filtering to view availability across brands and markets, and highlights contracted but inactive content to help operators identify portfolio gaps.

Ollie Castleman, Managing Director at Hub88, said: “As operators scale and build out richer lobbies, managing games can quickly become a complex and inefficient task.

“My Products gives our partners a faster and more intuitive way to take control of their content, from discovery through to activation, all within a single, streamlined experience. We are committed to delivering the most convenient and seamless platform for our partners, and this is just one of a number of upgrades we have planned for the year ahead.”
