Belgium-based operator chooses mentor as its Responsible Gambling tool for bingoal.nl, joining most of Europe’s top operators

Family-owned gambling operator Bingoal has a long history providing entertainment for players in Belgium and Holland – and the company has taken the ultimate step to protect its loyal customers by enlisting the help of Neccton’s mentor software in its Netherlands online casino and sportsbook.

Bingoal’s online customers can play a wide array of casino games plus bet on popular sports like football, cycling, tennis and horse racing. Now these players have the security of protection from Neccton’s best-in-class responsible gambling safety net, mentor.

mentor tracks possible problematic gambling behaviour using real-time data analysis and works to help both players and operators to identify potential issues early. The tool recognises triggers such as a significant increase in deposit frequency, and alerts the operator and directly contacts the player, helping the player make better-informed decisions about their play.

mentor also includes modules for Fraud, AML and aCRM so Neccton’s customers can solve many issues in one go.

“We started our research in gambling 15 years ago and have published multiple academic studies in the area of player tracking and responsible gaming,” said Neccton director and head of development Dr Michael Auer. “We have shown that players who gamble responsibly are more loyal, and their customer lifetime is significantly longer. We are proud to assist millions of players across dozens of brands around the world and to add Bingoal to this family,” he added.

A Bingoal spokesperson said: “We are always looking for tools to improve our platform in order to better protect players from the potential risks of gambling addiction. Dr Michael Auer is an expert in the field of responsible gaming and that expertise is passed on to the mentor tool. For Bingoal it was a logical choice to choose mentor as a responsible gaming tool.

“mentor will help us to detect and approach players who show risky gaming behaviour in a proactive way. In this way we can ensure that we can build a lasting and loyal relationship with our players so that participating in gaming is and remains a pleasure.”

Neccton’s customer roster includes many of Europe’s leading online operators, including STS, Casumo, CEGO, Play North, PlayOJO, and leading lottery operators like Lotto NZ and Canada’s Atlantic Lottery.
