COMMITTED TO RESPONSIBLE GAMING
SBA members are committed to providing customers with trusted, legal platforms to enjoy online sports betting and casino gaming responsibly. Customer protections and transparency are at the core of our mission, and SBA member companies take this commitment seriously.
SBA members embed responsible gaming tools and resources into all aspects of the customer experience, and government regulators approve every product before it enters the market to ensure safety. Strict regulations are in place to protect players, including age and identity verification, geolocation features to ensure players are in a legal state, and built-in deposit, wager, and time limits.
Combined, SBA members have over 200 employees dedicated exclusively to building and operating Responsible Gaming programs — and every employee is trained to spot signs of problem gaming.
