Coalition for Fantasy Sports partners with idPair for DFS self-exclusion solution
DFS customers will be able to self-exclude themselves from PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, Betr, and Dabble as holistic scheme put in place to drive responsible gaming efforts
The Coalition for Fantasy Sports has partnered with idPair to launch a DFS-specific self-exclusion tool which has been heralded as “groundbreaking” by the organizations.
Customers of PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, Betr, and Dabble, which are all members of the Coalition, will be able to simultaneously self-exclude across all of the operators’ platforms, regardless of their location.
Players will also be able to decide whether they wish to self-exclude from any of the four operators specifically, but remain with others.
The program will also allow customers to self-exclude for a time period of their choice to give more control and agency to their gaming.
Advanced data provided by idPair will ensure any player who does self-exclude does so with maximum privacy, protecting all sensitive information related to that user.
JT Foley, executive director of the coalition, insisted this latest self-exclusion solution represents how much effort its operator members are putting into responsible gambling.
“This unprecedented partnership demonstrates the value each of our members place on protecting consumers and improving their mental health,” Foley explained.
“We’re dedicated to leading the responsible gaming space and encourage all operators across the gaming industry to follow suit.”
Jonathan Aiwazian, idPair CEO, said: “At idPair, we are dedicated to connecting data to improve tools that help people play more sustainably through cutting edge anonymization and encryption methods.
“Our technology enables stronger safeguards and ensures sensitive information remains secure and private, giving players peace of mind.
“We’re proud to partner with the coalition to raise the bar for safer gaming.”
Brianne Doura-Schwawoh, former legislative director for the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), added: “This cross-platform self-exclusion program is a major advancement in protecting players.
“The coalition and idPair are leading the way in fostering a safer gaming market.”
The partnership with the coalition comes after idPair rolled out its national self-exclusion register across the US.
