SASFA Standard 003

Responsible Gambling Technology

Player-protection tools judged by whether they work at the moment a decision is being made, rather than by whether they exist somewhere in an account menu.

What this standard covers

• Deposit, loss and session limits
• Cooling-off and self-exclusion
• Behavioural feedback and spend alerts
• Reality checks during play

Why it exists

Each of these is something a player, a regulator or an honest competitor cannot currently establish from the outside with any confidence. A standard is only useful if it is specific enough that someone can check whether it has been met, so the drafting work is mostly about turning general expectations into testable statements.

Status

Draft, open for comment. This standard has not been finalised and no product has been assessed against it. If you work in gambling technology, regulation, research or player support and want to comment on the draft, please get in touch.
