SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY COMMITMENTIntertops recognises that for a small group of people, gaming may be a problem adversely affecting their personal lives and the lives of those closest to them. What is for the vast majority of participants an enjoyable leisure, social activity can, for a small percentage of the population, become problematic behaviour. Shopping, the consumption of alcohol, eating, and physical exercise are a few examples of similar, otherwise normal activities which can become problematic if abused or used as a mechanism to escape everyday problems. We at Intertops.com believe that we have the responsibility as the provider of gaming products to promote responsible gaming and ensure the delivery of gaming services in a socially responsible environment. Must be 18! In an effort to prevent underage individuals’ access to the gaming products offered by Intertops, we are registered at www.cybersitter.com, a parental control filtering engine. Know your limit Managing your bankroll responsibly is the best way to enjoy the wagering opportunities available at Intertops while not getting in over your head. To help our players keep track of their bankrolls we offer them the options of setting monthly spending limits, opting-out of certain wagering products (i.e. Casino, Poker Room), or even blocking themselves entirely from all wagering at Intertops.

We are working closely with the Antiguan government and the Financial Services Regulator Commission (FSRC) to ensure that Antigua continues to meet and exceed international standards of best practice in regards to responsible gaming. In support of this, the AOGA, in conjunction with the FSRC, has established a ‘Gaming Addiction Research and Education Fund’ to help in educating the public on the risks associated with gaming, increase social awareness, particularly with minors, and provide resources for the treatment of problem gambling. The AOGA is united with The Commission on the importance of these measures. For any questions regarding our responsible gambling policies and practices feel free to contact us at bet@intertops.com. |
