Speaking about the milestone and Safer Gambling Week, Andrew Yates, CEO at FullCircl commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with leading gambling operators to assist them in setting the industry benchmark for advanced player protection. Reaching 1 million checks in just 3 months demonstrates that we are the player protection partner of choice, combining a deep understanding of the needs of operators with the most comprehensive and accurate view of vulnerability and affordability currently available in the market.”
