Caesars Windsor has again achieved the ‘gold standard’ of responsible gambling accreditation. The ‘RG Check’ program was created by the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC).

Caesars Windsor was the first gaming facility in the world to earn the RG Check in 2012.

“We have a long-standing and continuing commitment to responsible gambling. Maintaining this accreditation demonstrates our commitment to ensuring resources are available for guests, mandatory training for our staff, and utilizing the PlaySmart Centre on property. It is something we take great pride in,” said Kevin Laforet, president of Caesars Windsor.

According to the RGC, there are 47 criteria and hundreds of metrics to measure the scope and effectiveness of the facility’s RG program. There are eight core responsible gambling standards that include: corporate policies, self-exclusion, advertising and promotion, informed decision making, assisting guests who may have problems with gambling, access to money, venue and game features, and employee training.

Properties are reaccredited every three years.
