Testimonial

Dr Ian Messenger

”Some key takeaways from the course were the in-depth discussion of “Chance” and “Skill” and how the existence of, or combination of, both influence whether a particular activity is considered gambling. For example, “Chance” and “Skill” demonstrated in the games of Blackjack and Poker and those such as Bingo, Lottery, and Slots which are purely “Chance” (Unit 1). The specific AML risk factors associated with Remote / iGaming which differ from Land-Based Casinos. Finally, the interplay between AML and Responsible Gaming / Problem Gambling".
