Operators must take steps to prevent gambling addiction and address potential harm early. While many venues have adopted policies, the regulator noted that intentions and practice sometimes don\u2019t fully align.<\/p>\n<p>After discussions with arcade operators, the KSA developed guidance materials to bridge that gap and give staff more clarity on how to apply the law in everyday settings.<\/p>\n<p>The package includes explanations, examples, and a FAQ to help arcades understand expectations. It also comes with a poster and an animation designed to raise awareness among employees about their duty of care obligations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The Cruks exclusion register is an important tool for preventing at-risk players from gambling, and the guideline addresses common questions about its use.<\/p>\n<p>KSA chairman Michel Groothuizen acknowledged that brick-and-mortar operators face different challenges than online providers:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCertain key factors of the duty of care are easier to monitor for online providers than in brick-and-mortar casinos. In our conversations with arcade owners, we\u2019ve noticed that they want to do more with the duty of care, but sometimes still struggle with its proper implementation. With this new guidance, supplemented with informational materials for employees, we\u2019re giving them new tools to do so. In this way, we\u2019re working together to ensure that players are optimally protected even at brick-and-mortar providers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/ksa-publishes-new-guidance-on-duty-of-care-for-casinos-and-arcades\/\">KSA Publishes New Guidance on Duty of Care for Casinos and Arcades<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>he Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) has rolled out fresh guidance for gaming arcades and casinos, aiming to strengthen how operators apply their duty of care.
