The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) is launching a certification program that will allow operators to continue adhering to responsible gaming standards.
ROGA has announced the launch of a Request for Proposal (RFP) process aimed at developing a certification program for online operators that want to ensure their players are offered protection from gambling-related harm. It also aims to keep gaming recreational.
The RPG process will provide operators with a comprehensive framework for RG by providing standards for employee training, self-exclusive and corporate policies.
“This step marks a significant milestone in our mission to build an organization that provides valuable resources to promote responsible gaming,” said ROGA Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Shatley. “I’m excited by the release of this RFP as it demonstrates our commitment to offer operators in this growing industry a program that assesses policies and responsible gaming support mechanisms, exclusion protocols, marketing and advertising guidelines, employee training and other data-driven strategies.”
ROGA’s recent launch builds on the debut of its RFP process for technology providers, which went live in November 2024. The RFP process was launched to create a data clearinghouse program to establish an independent database for RG and consumer protection efforts.
Major operators establish ROGA
ROGA members have vowed to allocate more than $20 million toward RG efforts. The association is also aiming to improve advertising and marketing practices in gaming.
Last year, a group of America’s largest sports betting operators formed ROGA as an independent trade association. Its membership includes Bally’s, BetMGM, bet365, DraftKings, Fanatics, FanDuel, Hard Rock Digital and PENN Entertainment.
