This can for instance be displays to players of time elapsed since commencing a gaming session and reality check configurations which operators can use to define fixed time intervals following which players will be prompted with a pop-up message reminding them of their gambling activity. Whenever auto-play is allowed to be offered, partners will have control functionalities on games and platform level. Stake limits, the number of auto-play gambles and loss limits can be configured, and players can cease using auto-play at any time regardless of any initial settings.

Stake limits, the number of auto-play gambles and loss limits can be configured, and players can ceas using auto-play at any time regardless of any initial s ttings. Operators further have the unique option to introduce in-session cool-down breaks which vary in frequency and duration depending on a set of different parameters considering the number of spins, spin time durations and pre-defined time intervals. Similar to reality checks, but much more dynamic and adaptable, this option provides a means of interrupting a player’s gameplay to reduce risks of potentially harmful monotonicity and to encourage self-reflection and evaluation. It also acts as one of the examples of how Play’n GO uses innovation to inspire and shape what the future of safer gambling could look like. “The best way to predict your future is to create it”, an inspirational dur tion depending on a set of differe t param ters considering the number of spins, spin time durations nd pre-defined time int rvals.
