Conscious Gaming has brought on a former Caesars Entertainment executive to its senior leadership team.<\/p>\n

Seth Palansky will join the Vancouver-based organization as its vice president of corporate social responsibility and communications. Previously, he served as the vice president of corporate communications for Caesars Interactive division, where he helped with the rollout of the company\u2019s iGaming app in Nevada and New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Before his time with Caesars, Palansky was the first employee for the NFL Network, helping to launch that cable network in 2003 to where it’s now available to 55 million subscribers.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll now leverage his experience in the sports and gaming realms to help launch Conscious Gaming and get operators to adopt its PlayPause technology.<\/p>\n

\n

PlayPause works across state lines and gaming operators to help expand self-exclusion protections for bettors and make the administrative process behind exclusion databases more efficient. It helps players self-exclude across several states and helps mobile gaming providers learn more about players who seek exclusion protections in one state, but try to play in another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSports betting and iGaming businesses are spreading rapidly throughout the US, and in order to ensure their longevity, it is imperative that all stakeholders have their responsible gaming initiatives accommodate the modern habits of those users they aim to protect,\u201d<\/strong> Palansky said in a statement.<\/p>\n

About Conscious Gaming<\/h2>\n

Conscious Gaming is a non-profit organization that wants to use technology for social good within the gaming industry. Established by GeoComply Founder Anna Sainsbury, it works with operators, regulators, responsible gaming groups, and other key stakeholders to protect players and promote responsible gaming. GeoComply announced the launch of Conscious Gaming and PlayPause in September during the American Gaming Association’s Responsible Gaming Education Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the benefits of offering a technology-driven self-exclusion tool are critical for our industry to ensure we protect all stakeholders,\u201d<\/strong> Sainsbury said<\/p>\n

GeoComply<\/a> provides geolocation and compliance technology to mobile gaming operators worldwide. It\u2019s currently in use in 45 US states for regulated iGaming, online poker, mobile sports betting, lottery, daily fantasy, and advanced-deposit wagering for horse racing.<\/p>\n

While PlayPause is the first product, it appears Conscious Gaming will also look to bring together various gaming stakeholders. The goal is to use technology platforms to prevent digital crimes and keep criminal groups from being able to move money.<\/p>\n

GVC, BetMGM First on Board with PlayPause<\/h2>\n

Late last month, Conscious Gaming announced GVC Holdings had come on board to serve as the first official partner of PlayPause. Through that partnership, BetMGM<\/a> will use the technology to manage its responsible gaming efforts across the states where it operates either iGaming, mobile sports betting, or both.<\/p>\n

A multi-state approach to responsible\u00a0gaming\u00a0is an important step for the industry and advances consumer protection in a meaningful way. We\u2019re delighted to play a leading role in collaborating on this important and timely initiative,\u201d BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt said in a release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
