Industry giant Entain has expanded its partnership with EPIC Risk Management and formed new partnerships with the Counter-Strike Professional Players Association (CSPPA), and two mental health groups in order to extend its responsible gambling initiatives to video gaming and esports.
EPIC, the CSPPA and mental health bodies Kindbridge and Rise Above the Disorder will provide mental health support services and education for players potentially at risk, and will work internationally with Entain and the company’s non-profit charity, the Entain Foundation.
The operator said its strategy for sustainability and growth underscores its commitment to delivering the highest possible levels of player safety and protection across all its markets.
As part of its safer gambling strategy, the Entain Foundation supports customer protection through a mix of education and support projects, as well as research and data analysis.
