Our Responsible Gaming Code of Conduct

theScore Bet is committed to providing gaming in a responsible manner. We want players to have fun and enjoy our services safely. 

While most of our players enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment, we realize that some may experience problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming and protecting players (and others affected by their behavior) when gaming stops being fun.

We use a variety of approaches to promote responsible gaming, including employee training (so that our staff can better identify and manage problem gaming issues when they arise), customer awareness campaigns, self-exclusion and financial restriction programs, and ongoing policy monitoring and review so that we can gauge the effectiveness of our responsible gaming programs.

Our Pledge to Players

1. We will promote responsible gaming
2. We will provide safe gaming tools and resources
3. We will advertise responsibly
4. We will prevent underage gaming

Recognizing the Problem

Recognizing that you may have a gaming problem is the first step to regaining control.

According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, problem gaming, or gaming addiction, includes all gaming behavior patterns that compromise, disrupt or damage personal, family or vocational pursuits. An increasing preoccupation with gaming, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, ‘chasing’ losses to recoup funds, and loss of control over gaming behavior in spite of serious and negative consequences, are all signs of problem gaming. In extreme cases, problem gaming can result in financial ruin, legal problems, loss of career and family, or even suicide.

Gamblers Anonymous has prepared a 20 question test to help players identify if they are developing a problem.  These questions can be found here.

Employee Training Programs and Resources

Our employees must participate in responsible gaming and problem gaming awareness training programs.  They are trained to be aware of, and offer assistance to, players seeking help with problem gaming matters.  theScore Bet’s Compliance Officer (or a professional third-party specializing in the field) is responsible for training employees and ensuring they have the resources necessary to identify, prevent and minimize the risks of harm to our players.  Part of responsible gaming training includes teaching employees to identify warning signs of problem gaming and what to do when risks are identified.  This training helps us achieve a unified approach to responsible gaming that is shared across all departments at theScore Bet.

Dedicated Responsible Gaming Team

theScore Bet’s Compliance Department oversees, guides and establishes responsible gaming initiatives, policies and procedures, with reference to state, provincial and national responsible gaming standards.

Preventing Underage Gaming

theScore Bet is designed to appeal to, and be used by, adults.  We actively discourage underage individuals from playing with us.  Our players are required to undergo a rigorous KYC process before they can open account and make bets in order to prevent underage gaming on theScore Bet.

Marketing and Advertising Materials

All of our marketing and advertising materials go through a rigorous review and approval process to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations and to ensure responsible marketing practices are employed, and must comply with the following rules:

• Advertisements must contain clear and conspicuous responsible gaming messaging;
• Advertisements won’t be targeted, or appear to be targeted, toward underage players;
• Advertisements won’t be directly disseminated to self-excluded persons or persons appearing on any exclusion lists in jurisdictions where theScore Bet operates;
• Advertisements won’t be misleading or have messaging that implies gaming is a way to earn money.

Player Resources and Tools

theScore Bet provides tools for account holders to monitor and control their wagering activity. These tools include:

• The ability to set limits on the amount of time spent wagering;
• The ability to set limits on the amount of money that can be wagered;
• The ability to review the account history for the current year; and
• The ability to set limits on the amount of money that can be deposited.

Self-Exclusion

Our voluntary self-exclusion program is available to players who want to take a break, or permanently exclude themselves from wagering with us.  If a player enrolls in our self-exclusion program, that player will be excluded from betting with us in all jurisdictions where theScore Bet is available.  We also provide players with information about and access to self-exclusion programs offered by gaming regulatory authorities and third-party problem gaming organizations in jurisdictions where we operate.
