5. Play sober

6. Protect minors and prevent underage access

7. Do not chase losses

These guidelines aim to promote awareness and help players make conscious, informed decisions while gaming.

Leadership Insight

Ismini Nasaina, Head of Responsible Gaming at Kaizen Gaming, said:

“Gaming can only stay fun when our players stay in control. Responsible Gaming is not a platform feature for us, it’s a core operating principle that shapes how we design our products and how we support players. Our focus is to help players stay in control through clear information, practical tools, and timely interventions where needed.”

Responsible Gaming Tools on Betano

Kaizen Gaming offers a comprehensive suite of tools to support player safety:

• Financial limits – deposit, loss, and wager limits, plus withdrawal cancellation and blocking

• Time management – session timers and personal time limits

• Self-exclusion – for longer breaks

• Time-out features – short, immediate pauses

• Access to helplines – for external support organisations

• Rigorous age verification – to prevent underage access

• Educational content – clear, localised guidance

• Self-assessment tools – evaluate gaming behaviour

• 24/7 specialised customer support – trained in responsible gaming

Ismini Nasaina added:

“Increasing awareness around responsible play and making safeguards easy to understand and use is essential. International Responsible Gaming Day is a good opportunity to reinforce these basics and remind players that protection tools and support are always available. Player awareness and control are what keep the gaming environment safe and sustainable.”

Some partnerships take a few emails. Some take a few years. And then there are the ones that quietly build momentum from 2017… until one day you look at each other and say, “Alright, let’s do this properly.”

We’re proud to officially welcome Joe Ewens to the HIPTHER team, where he will play a leading editorial role at EEGaming.org – our premier B2B platform and the definitive Intelligence Hub for industry leaders.

If you’ve been around the European gaming ecosystem for more than five minutes, you already know Joe. Sharp analysis. Direct questions. No fluff. Just substance. The kind that makes boardrooms slightly uncomfortable, in the best possible way.

What Joe Will Be Doing

At EEGaming.org, Joe will:

• Deliver weekly articles and breaking news
• Cover European market insights, trends, and jurisdictional analysis
• Provide structured, forward-looking commentary on regulatory and commercial developments

In short: more signal, less noise.

But that’s not all.

Joe will also take a central role in our iGaming Exchange virtual meetups, where he will:

• Act as host and moderator
• Bring the latest discussion topics and jurisdictions to spotlight
• Help elevate conversations beyond the usual “market update” routine

Expect sharper debates. Deeper dives. Fewer recycled slides.

EEGaming.org continues to evolve as the intelligence layer within the HIPTHER ecosystem—bridging regional heritage with global innovation. With Joe on board, that bridge just got a lot stronger.

We’ve known each other since 2017. We’ve shared panels, conversations, debates, and probably a few industry déjà vu moments along the way.

Now we build together.

Welcome to the team, Joe.

Let’s raise the standard.
