Kindred Group’s player safety program

The Kindred Group is responsible for developing award winning proprietary software, the Player Safety Early Detection System (PS-EDS). This exclusive software puts Kindred at the forefront of responsible gambling practices, using a risk based approach that helps detect early signs of problem gambling behaviour. The PS-EDS essentially creates a “digital fingerprint” of customer’s behaviour, allowing Kindred to monitor, support and protect players to create a safe gambling environment.

Kindred has extensive responsible gambling practices in place, including a strict customer verification process, self-exclusion programs, betting/deposit restrictions, product blocking tools, session limits, cooling off periods, fraud prevention measures, and anti-money laundering processes. All its branded casinos and betting sites run in accordance with strict rules and regulations set by the relevant online gambling jurisdictions.

In 2016, Kindred Group took out the award for Operator of the Year and Socially Responsible Operator of the Year at the EGR Operator Awards.

More about the company

Kindred Group originally started out as Unibet, and was founded in 1997 by Anders Ström. What started out as a one-man operation from his London bedroom soon exploded as one of the world’s premiere gambling companies, and by 2004 Unibet was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The name was changed in 2016 due to the company’s focus on developing into a multi-brand strategy. The company now has over 16.9 million customers, with more than 1,350 staff members working to ensure the best possible customer experience. Kindred Group operates out of offices in Malta, London, Gibraltar, Stockholm and Sydney.

In the first quarter of 2017, Kindred Group gross winning revenue was 153.4 million GBP. 73% of all its revenue comes from mobile gambling.
