Responsible gaming

Playtech is dedicated to designing, developing and delivering high-quality responsible gaming technology and raising responsible gaming standards.

For us, responsible business practices are the right thing to do as well as critical to securing our license to operate. Protecting players from harmful play is also vital for the long-term success of the entertainment industry. That is why we continue to put ethical principles at the heart of our business and promote responsible gaming by:

1. Compliance

Complying with all legal and regulatory requirements;

2. Customer engagement

Providing advanced analytics and customer engagement tools to assess player risk and detect potentially problematic behaviour;

3. Data analytics

Constantly improving the use of data analytics and safer metrics to minimise at-risk groups;

4. Proactiveness

Bringing proactive prevention tools and pioneering responsible gaming technology to the market;

5. Fair marketing

Marketing our products fairly and not targeting minors or vulnerable individuals;

6. Prevention research

Engaging with governments and universities to research ways to prevent the harmful effects of gaming.

Playtech values

Our values are a vital part of our ethical business principles and the foundation of everything we do as a company.

Integrity

We always strive to be responsible, honest and open in our dealings with each other and with all our stakeholders – licensees, regulators, business partners and suppliers

Innovation

We endeavor to be at the forefront of our industry; to lead, develop and deliver new products and services that meet all risk and regulatory compliance measures

Excellence

We aim on excellence in everything we do; in the delivery of our products and services, in our integration with the outside world and in working with each other

Performance

We always deliver outstanding performance in the context of legitimate and realistic expectations of our customers and shareholders

We are a diverse employer 

As an employer, we carry diversity close to our heart and respect each other at all times, no matter who we are, where we are from or what beliefs we hold. In Playtech, we believe that different thoughts, abilities, experiences and individual characteristics enrich our work environment and lead to better business decisions. Recognizing differences and making sure our processes are transparent is the core part of Playtech’s overall commitment to responsible business practices. 

Since 2020, Playtech is a part of the Estonian Diversity Charter and has been acknowledged with the Diverse Employer quality label. By this, we adhere to human diversity and value the principle of equal treatment among our employees, candidates, partners, as well as customers.

CSR – our contribution to community

Our employees are passionate about bringing their time, skills and dedication to the communities where they live and work. Playtech is participating in the Let’s Donate Time program which means that every employee is entitled to one day of paid volunteering per year. Furthermore, since 2018, we have a Community Investment Program in place to support our employees in collectively making a difference to our local community.

The areas Playtech Estonia is focusing its charitable efforts on include:

Diversity

We are dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. Our aims include improving the gender balance, encouraging the rise of new female talents, supporting adult career changes and fostering talent among people with physical disabilities.

Teachers and education

As Estonia is facing a serious shortage of teachers, it is our mission to support university students training to become teachers as well as working teachers and mentors. We also contribute to projects promoting digital skills.

Environment

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint by being as efficient as we can and promoting environmental and sustainability projects.

Health

Active lifestyle is highly cherished among our employees, so we are constantly organising „sports for good“ and internal fundraising events, but also getting involved in external health-related projects.
