This playbook provides a step-by-step operational guide to implementing the affordability check system: trigger thresholds, data sources, check outcomes, enhanced due diligence workflows, customer communication protocols, and governance requirements.
Deploy AI in player protection the way regulators now expect — with evidence, not promises.
Ten questions that reveal whether your AI player-protection claims would survive a regulator.
For leadership deploying AI in player protection who need the implementation to be regulatory-grade, not just technically functional. The RG or product manager gets a structured plan covering use case definition, model requirements, human oversight design, and governance architecture.
Give your board RG oversight that stands up to the scrutiny regulators now apply.
For boards under Gambling Commission scrutiny over responsible gambling governance — this is the evidence architecture that demonstrates structured oversight. The Head of RG working through it produces a six-part governance framework the board can stand behind in any regulatory review.
For compliance directors who need the affordability assessment programme evidenced at every decision point, not just described in policy. The RG or compliance manager gets a six-part framework that produces documented evidence of every assessment — from trigger to outcome — ready for audit.
For operators who need to know their team will respond correctly when a serious customer harm incident occurs — including when CEO involvement is required. The RG manager gets a welfare-first response framework with regulatory notification decision tree, account review checklist, and post-incident review.
For the Head of RG who needs their team identifying and responding to harm signals consistently — not just when it is obvious. The RG or customer experience manager gets a harm signal library, decision framework, interaction scripts, and escalation pathways with a documentation trail built in.
Give the board the responsible gambling customer interaction data the Gambling Commission expects them to be actively monitoring. The RG or compliance manager gets a pre-built dashboard with the metrics the GC will look for — interaction rates, escalations, outcomes — in board-ready format.
Design and govern an RG programme for your venues that stands up to the regulator.
