Key Initiatives and Achievements
Responsible Gambling: Play’n GO’s groundbreaking Bonus Buy study is a highlight, showcasing the company’s dedication to player safety and responsible gaming practices. Collaborations with regulators have been pivotal in influencing the development of sustainable regulations.
Climate Commitments: The report outlines the company’s Climate Pledge, focusing on reducing its carbon footprint and implementing environmentally friendly practices across its operations.
