Selling gaming products is not the same as selling milk!

In order to create a sustainable business, a company has to take into account the downside of gaming. Whilst it can be a pleasurable experience, some problems can arise which can have serious consequences for individuals and society in general.

By raising awareness of gaming problems, we create a better basis for learning how to deal with them. Today, the gaming industry has big challenges as various groups have started to question its practices.

It is important that your company has control of all relevant processes and creates sustainable long-term relationships with your customers. Step one is to be compliant with the law, and step two is to decide on what degree of sustainability your business wants to be at.

With over 15 years of experience building and developing responsible gaming, we are convinced that we have the right skills to help you with everything from strategy, policy, KPIs, education, research-based gaming responsibilities, world-wide analysis, communication, etc.

Around 2% of gaming participants can suffer from problems; some game types have a significantly higher percentage of problem players than others, and internationally fewer players are now playing for greater sums

 

We help identify improvements

Strandänger & Medvall can help you from scratch by doing a mapping/scoring analysis to identify potential gaps, or to advise on future progress.
