The Coalition for Fantasy Sports, which represents interests for Underdog Fantasy, Betr, Dabble, and PrizePicks, has launched a new national responsible gaming initiative in partnership with idPair.
The new initiative will allow daily fantasy sports (DFS) users who choose to do so to simultaneously self-exclude themselves across all platforms, regardless of their location.
“This unprecedented partnership demonstrates the value each of our members place on protecting consumers and improving their mental health,” said JT Foley, the Executive Director of the Coalition for Fantasy Sports, in a press release. “We’re dedicated to leading the Responsible Gaming space and encourage all operators across the gaming industry to follow suit.”
One Step to Self-Exclude From All
The partnership is the first of its kind in the DFS industry. Players who hope to self-exclude themselves from playing DFS will be able to block access to multiple gaming sites in one simple step, giving them a chance to take a break from gaming for a period of their choice.
IdPair’s advanced data anonymization ensures 100% privacy, safeguarding self-excluded users’ sensitive data, according to the announcement. The company is able to enhance consumer protection through research and the creation of innovative technology. Its products include the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program and a single-customer view platform to identify and reduce high-risk consumer behaviors by combining anonymized transactional data across multiple operators.
“At idPair, we are dedicated to connecting data to improve tools that help people play more sustainably through cutting edge anonymization and encryption methods,” said Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of idPair. “Our technology enables stronger safeguards and ensures sensitive information remains secure and private, giving players peace of mind. We’re proud to partner with the Coalition to raise the bar for safer gaming.”
Initiative Applauded by Responsible Gaming Advocates
The new gaming initiative is receiving praise from responsible gaming advocates in the country.
“This cross-platform self-exclusion program is a major advancement in protecting players. The Coalition and idPair are leading the way in fostering a safer gaming market,” said Brianne Doura-Schawohl, CEO of Doura-Schawohl Consulting LLC and formerly the Legislative Director for the National Council on Problem Gaming (NCPG).
