US betting companies unite: ROGA for responsible gaming
Together, the top seven sports betting companies in the US form the Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA).
Cooperation in addressing issues associated with problematic gambling is their primary objective. Hard Rock Digital, PENN Entertainment, Fanatics, DraftKings, BetMGM, bet365, and FanDuel are the founding members. Collectively, these firms command over eighty percent of the United States market for licensed online gambling and sports wagering.
The association’s goals are to finance research, build a database for inter-sectoral information sharing, and enlighten participants in the market and customers about responsible gambling. In addition, they intend to launch a certification program to check how well its members adhere to responsible gambling principles.
Dr. Jennifer Shatley, a responsible gambling specialist, will lead ROGA. Her major goal will be to promote safe online gambling through collaboration with regulators, academics, and other stakeholders.
