The rise in gaming activity in Chile has prompted the country’s gaming regulator, Superintendencia de Casinos de Juego, to issue new guidelines.
Gaming activity rose from $3.8 million in June to $25.5 million in July.
The Decalogue of Good Practices of Responsible Gaming was developed jointly by the Responsible Gaming Corporation and the Superintendence of Gaming Casinos.
An example of the tips it offers: “When you play, choose to play for entertainment and not to win. Remember that you cannot influence game results. Solve your problems before playing; if you play to evade them, you might forget them for a while, but the problems will still be there.”
The Superintendence of Gaming Casinos issued this statement: “This decalogue seeks to give recommendations to those who attend the game rooms with the aim of promoting a healthy and preventive game.”
It added, “This decalogue is part of the execution of a project that the Superintendence has in the field of responsible gambling, which is born from the increase in gambling in the country and the institutional conviction to contribute in an integral way to the industry, understanding that this is a problem that goes far beyond gambling casinos and therefore requires a global and medium-term perspective.”
