PlayPause® modernizes and strengthens responsible gaming and employee integrity programs

Empowering consumers to play responsibly

PlayPause® allows consumers to extend existing single-state self-exclusions to all participating PlayPause® members nationally. PlayPause® allows consumers to stay on track with their goals regardless of where they go.

Working across state boundaries

PlayPause® creates a holistic approach to consumer protection by bringing together each state’s self-exclusion database into a national repository so protections stay with the consumer regardless of location.

Working together to foster nationwide protection

Operators, regulators and sport leagues seamlessly share de-identified information with each other across the states, ensuring privacy, integrity and safety for all stakeholders.

A community-based product to support the industry

PlayPause® was built after lengthy discussions with many industry stakeholders. It will continue to rely on the community to provide input and ideas, iterate additional tools, and ensure the industry as a whole stays ahead of responsible gaming.

Responsible gaming centralized and enhanced by technology

PlayPause® provides an efficient way for operators, regulators and sports leagues to enhance responsible gaming and game integrity across multiple states.
