Booming Games operates as a Business-to-Business (B2B) company and provides slot games to gaming aggregators and Business-to-Customer (B2C) gaming operators ♠ in the gambling industry. Although we do not have direct interaction with players, responsible gaming is a top priority to ♠ us and forms an important part of our Company’s ethos.
Our aim first and foremost is to entertain players - we ♠ want players to have fun and enjoy playing our games, but we are equally dedicated to supporting responsible gambling.
When it ♠ comes to the design, features and marketing of our slot games, responsible gaming is a key requirement in order to ♠ help ensure gambling is enjoyed in a safe and controlled manner by an adult audience of players.
As a licensed and ♠ regulated casino software provider in several jurisdictions, our games are tested and certified by an accredited third-party test house to ♠ ensure the requirements set out by the regulatory authorities are met. It is our company strategy to enter regulated markets ♠ and we fully support new regulations which place important responsible gaming requirements on both us as suppliers and operators (the ♠ casinos) to provide players with all of the tools and support they need.
Responsible Product Design
Our slot games are designed responsibly ♠ to minimise the likelihood that they exploit or encourage problem gambling behaviour. We ensure that our games do not encourage ♠ players to:
Chase their losses,
Increase the amount they have decided to gamble, or
Continue to gamble after they have indicated that they ♠ wish to stop.
Booming Games ensures that our games are compliant with the requirements of the Advertising Standards Authority, specifically we ♠ ensure that our games do not appeal to young children with the use of:
particular colours (e.g. soft pinks, blues, etc. ♠ in combination with one or more of the points below),
characters and artwork that are cute, have cartoonish/comic book graphics, or ♠ which might incorporate elements of well-known cartoon characters from children’s stories, fairytales, and animated movies that may inadvertently target children, ♠ and
game titles that are likely, alone or in combination, to enhance appeal to children.
Responsible Gaming Features
As part of our efforts ♠ to support responsible gaming, all games that we offer to casino operators are compatible and able to work in conjunction ♠ with responsible gaming features or have built-in responsible gaming features to ensure players have a safe and controlled gaming experience.
These ♠ features include, but are not limited to:
Play Limits:
All our games come equipped with gameplay limits (e.g. spend limit, loss limit). ♠ Once activated by the casino operator, our games will provide an in-game message letting players know that the limit has ♠ been reached. This feature is a reminder to players that they have spent or lost an amount which they set ♠ as their limit and thus allows them to monitor and control their spending.
Reality Check:
The Reality Check feature displays a periodic ♠ in-game notification when a player has been playing for a specified time based on a frequency selected by the player. ♠ When the reality check is displayed, the gameplay is suspended - even during auto-play, and only resumed once the player ♠ has acknowledged the message. This feature allows players to maintain a grasp on reality and ensures they aren’t playing for ♠ too long.
Game Speed:
To make gameplay safer our games can be configured so that a certain amount of time (typically 3 ♠ seconds) must pass between two game rounds. With this configuration, the game quick spin functionality is disabled. This feature reduces ♠ the speed of play, as problem gambling is often associated with fast gameplay where the player is no longer interested ♠ in the enjoyment or fun element of gambling.
Visible Clock:
All our games support a time display feature (e.g. wall clock, session ♠ clock). This feature makes it easier for players to maintain a correct sense of time and how long they have ♠ been playing for.
Problem Gambling Prevention and Treatment
We are committed to donating to research into the prevention and treatment of gambling-related ♠ harms, harm prevention approaches and treatment for those harmed by gambling.
