Trainers with lived experience are helping to define the customer journey, exploring what the ‘know your customer’ philosophy entails and providing a tool kit of skills to help the consumer facing team to know when and how to intervene with players should it be necessary.”
Tony Boulton, Director of Public and Political Relations at MERKUR UK added: “We launched our safer gambling 360 Program in October 2020 and it’s highly encouraging that within a year we will have delivered City & Guilds Assured safer gambling training to all of our regional and our venue managers across both MERKUR Slots and MERKUR Bingo.
