The Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has announced the results of its innovative approach towards mapping problem gambling indicators.
Using pseudomised player data, which removes personal identifiers in favor of identifiers with placeholder values to protect customer privacy and increase data security, the regulator revealed the impact of this approach.
Under Dutch rules, license holders are required to store pseudonymised player and transaction data in mandatory data vaults. This data was analysed by the KSA to exercise supervision in a variety of areas.
Besides the loss of large amounts of money, which is often associated with excessive gambling, other indicators and potential problem gambling catalysts have now also been assessed – such as session duration or what part of the day gambling is active.
