Game
Integrity Testing is
not only about ensuring that the games are secure
and free from tapering but it's also about ensuring
the highest level of safety for all players. Game
Planit's
unique strengths are illustrated in our ability to
understand the addictive process between players and
the games and design comprehensive solutions that
will mitigate potentially addictive game properties.
Game Planit possesses extensive expertise and experience
in evaluating games for potentially addictive attributes
as well as anomalies. Game Planit's team of experts
thoroughly evaluates games and then makes recommendations
on how best to mitigate their addictive potential.
Solutions range from designing comprehensive prevention/player
protection programs, modifying game designs, designing
and evaluating responsible gaming features to product
labeling and warnings. All recommendations are based
on sound and leading-edge research into problem gambling
risk factors. Solutions are also based on an integrated
model of problem gambling that identifies all known
risk factors and targets modifiable risks that are
within the control of manufacturers and operators.
This allows for the highest standard of product safety,
integrity and player protection possible.
A
Shared Responsibility
While
responsible gaming is seen as a shared responsibility
between player and operator, all stakeholders need
to clearly define their roles and responsibilities.
Game Planit's integrated model of problem gambling
allows for clear and defined roles, responsibilities
and rights. This is accomplished by identifying biological,
psychosocial, environmental and game risk factors
that are within each stakeholders' spheres of influence.
This avoids placing unreasonable responsibility unfairly
on player or operator. While most responsible gaming
programs focus on helping problem players, Game Planit
strives to avoid problems by equipping all stakeholders
with the knowledge and tools they need in order to
reduce risks that are within their control that directly
lead to problems. This may mean players need to take
responsibility for understanding the games and setting
appropriate limits. But, it also means that manufactures,
regulators and operators also need to acknowledge
that there are environmental and game attributes that
cause or contribute to pathological gambling. Many
of these risks can be targeted or modified to reduce
the likelihood of problems. It is a product safety
issue that needs to be addressed in order to ensure
player protection and consumer rights are respected.
Manufactures
Game
Planit recognizes that gaming manufacturers are in
the business of designing and marketing entertaining
and good revenue generating games and may not possess
problem gambling expertise. However, some of the same
attributes that makes the games more entertaining
and profitable may actually be contributing to gambling
problems. Game Planit provides you with comprehensive
game evaluations and recommendations in order for
you to fulfill your product safety obligations, This
is simply good business by allowing you to demonstrate
to your customers that product safety concerns have
thoroughly been addressed. Game Planit also provides
you with objective and credible solutions to minimize
your liability exposure.
Governments,
Regulators and Operators
Like
manufactures, governments, regulators and operators
need to define their appropriate responsibilities.
With growing research evidence identifying potentially
addictive and hazardous gaming products, these stakeholders
have a elevated duty-of-care to ensure the safety
of the public. Game Planit can assist by providing
objective and credible third-party evaluation of all
potentially addictive games. We'll assist in your
due diligence to ensure everything has been done to
make the games as safe as possible. We'll also assist
you in fulfilling your duty-to-warn and protect the
public from the dangers of potentially addictive and
hazardous gaming products.
