Interested in how the gaming industry protects users in this era of fast-paced digital change? Learn how companies like Roobet are embracing best-in-class responsible gaming practices.
Mystery Bats, a mainstay game on the industry-leading crypto gaming platform Roobet, may not be a household name. But for hundreds of thousands of players, it’s a rush. Take Xposed, the gaming pro who has built a huge following through his high-octane gameplay, particularly amongst Roobet users following their announcement of a gold standard influencer partnership.
The Power of Roobet Livestreaming
Just a glance at one of Xposed’s recent livestreams of Mystery Bats on Roobet was telling. The game is much like slots, but with the usual objects, like lollipops, replaced by spookier versions, like crucifixes.
The action, however, was happening in the embedded live chat. Xposed went wild, literally bursting out of his seat and careening to the back wall of his studio, when he won a huge jackpot. But those watching celebrated just the same, lighting up the screen with messages of congratulations or emoji-laden missives.
Livestreaming is huge in the gaming industry, as Roobet would attest. Xposed brings his fans, Roobet users like his style, and, just like that, a game creates new meaning. From stimulation to atmosphere, from something digital to something very human.
Roobet and Responsible Gaming
It’s likely that those immune to the charms of social media would witness that same livestream differently. They might think Xposed’s behaviour a little eccentric. They might not understand why the Roobetters watching along were so transfixed. They might even be concerned that the communion, as it were, could inspire bad decision-making.
That’s where safeguarding comes into play. It’s a huge part of the current gaming industry. Sites like Roobet understand full well that their customer base is more than that. Instead, it’s a community. The company watches out for its community by acting in full compliance with responsible gaming standards. That’s how the community flourishes.
The Nuts and Bolts of Roobet’s Approach
As well as ensuring users meet the 18+ requirement (a duty which is also expected of influencer partners), Roobet combines a range of hard and soft measures to keep its players safe.
On the hard side, players can lock in certain limits to their gameplay. Playing too much? Try the “Self Exclusion” feature, an industry-leading technology, where a user can lock themselves out of the site for a period, or for good. Think your stakes are too big? Limit these with an unbreakable cap.
On the softer side, Roobet has set some rules of the road. These are compelling and concise, of use to all gaming enthusiasts:
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a source of income.
- Set a budget and stick to it.
- Take regular breaks from gaming.
- Avoid gaming when stressed or under the influence of alcohol.
- Seek support if gaming starts to negatively impact daily life.
The first and last bullets are particularly striking in their importance. Sites like Roobet are, first and foremost, for fun. That’s why players like Xposed partner with Roobet, because there is a fundamental alignment in thinking outside the box and bringing excitement to as many people as possible.
As for the support element, this comes back to the emphasis on community. Roobet isn’t a closed ecosystem. Players are actively encouraged to seek help from help organizations should they need it.
Reflecting technological prowess, Roobet “audits” the streams and interacts with streamers that are behaving inappropriately or showing other problem behaviours, particularly the promotion of unhealthy gaming habits.
Roobet’s proactivity in ensuring responsible gaming is right in and of itself, and it makes good commercial sense too. In a competitive market, gaming enthusiasts seek platforms with the best gameplay, but also those that feel personal to them.
The Concept of “Care”
The personal concept of “care” in marketing — care for the customer, that is — can be underrated. But brands like Roobet understand that the personal element is a two-way street. Ultimately, that valuable sense of community quickly dissipates if players feel like others are suffering.
Companies in the industry constantly vie to out-innovate their rivals to capture market share. But an enlightened approach to responsible gaming is a competitive advantage too. This should be food for thought for those companies that continue to drag their feet.
