Paddy Power Pushes Age Verification
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009With all of the laws for online casinos around the world being closely examined as big players such as Belgium and the United States strive to come up with some new and credible regulatory guidelines, the pressure is being felt by many gambling operators to increase the level of consumer protection that they have in place. One such online casino operator is Paddy Power. This company has been hard at work trying to make it so that new customers on their casino gaming site are subject to age verification when they register. This service will be in place for both everyday business and gambling transactions as well as major sporting events when they get a lot of new clientele coming onto the site to place wagers.
The design for this implementation comes with the following requirements: First, there should in no way shape or form be any sort of inconvenience to customers as they go about trying to play at one of their favorite casinos. Additionally, the best method for conducting a thorough age verification program is through electronic means since it is the least cumbersome and rigorous for their casino gamers. Also, this should ideally boost the number of pass rates and at the same time bring the number of customer registrations up as well.
Basically it is constructed with the intention of being fully streamlined so that everyone can benefit from this upgrade. Also, it should limit the manpower and additional resources that are typically called upon in regard to follow-up services and associated costs. It will be interesting to see if the people behind the scenes at Paddy Power can effectively pull this plan off. If they succeed, it will set a precedent for the entire casino industry.
