"Our share of revenue from high-risk players has been stable over the past quarters, however we are pleased to see the long-term trend of a slow decline. We are working hard across the Group to ensure our customers enjoy our products in a safe and sustainable way, which includes educating customers, stakeholders, and partners about safer gambling initiatives," says Alexander Westrell, Director of Communications at Kindred Group.
"We classify all customers who self-exclude for more than six months as high-risk to ensure we prioritise responsible gambling. However, we see that some customers self-exclude for reasons other than gambling concerns. We are actively working on improving our user experience to better distinguish self-exclusions related to actual behavioural risks, so that our high-risk data accurately reflects customers who genuinely need support to stop gambling," continues Alexander Westrell.
In February 2021, Kindred started to communicate about its share of revenue of harmful gambling and reports this data and the improvement effect after interventions each quarter. This is a key part of Kindred's work with fostering a factual and transparent dialogue, paving the way for a more sustainable industry.
Kindred also publishes specific RG data for the Swedish market together with ATG and Svenska Spel. Kindred's RG data for the first half of 2024 can be found here.
