Four Winds Casinos, operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, has entered into a strategic partnership with OpenBet to implement cutting-edge player protection technology, powered by Neccton.
This collaboration marks a significant advancement in responsible gaming for the Midwestern U.S. casino market, specifically within Michigan and Indiana, while expanding OpenBet’s presence in tribal casino communities.
OpenBet, a global leader in sports betting content, technology, and services, will provide Four Winds Casinos with its top-tier player protection system. The platform, developed by Neccton, is renowned for its comprehensive responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) capabilities.
This state-of-the-art technology ensures that Four Winds Casinos is equipped to offer a safe and secure environment for its players while adhering to the highest regulatory standards.
Neccton’s solution is designed with academic research at its core and includes a wide range of evidence-based tools. Features such as personalized messaging, limit-setting capabilities, and detailed behavioral analytics are crafted to promote responsible gaming and prevent issues before they escalate.
The system is part of OpenBet’s broader regulatory tech portfolio, reflecting the company’s dedication to fostering a sustainable and secure gambling ecosystem.
Dr. Michael Auer, Managing Director at OpenBet’s Neccton, commented on the significance of the partnership: “Four Winds Casinos is an institution in Michigan and Indiana’s gaming landscape, whose commitment to player protection aligns with our goals and objectives.
OpenBet has continually invested in strengthening its Protect pillar, and with our Neccton technology always evolving with the latest data insights, Four Winds Casinos can be sure they are at the forefront of player protection.”
This agreement also strengthens OpenBet’s footprint within the tribal gaming sector, an area the company has been increasingly focused on. OpenBet currently provides its modular product suite to 14 tribal gaming entities across the U.S., reinforcing its strategic positioning in newly emerging tribal markets.
Earlier this year, OpenBet also made a key investment in Strive Gaming, a Player Account Management (PAM) platform provider, to further support its tribal market initiatives.
The partnership with Four Winds Casinos is another milestone in OpenBet's ongoing expansion efforts. The company’s global customer base has surged by over 40% in the first half of 2024, and it remains committed to offering innovative solutions to drive both growth and responsible gaming in regulated markets.
The introduction of Neccton’s advanced player protection technology at Four Winds Casinos underscores the industry’s growing emphasis on responsible gambling practices and the importance of integrating academic research into operational strategies.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this ensure that operators are equipped with the tools they need to protect players while delivering top-tier gaming experiences.
With this latest deal, Four Winds Casinos joins a distinguished roster of operators that are prioritizing player protection through OpenBet’s advanced technology. This collaboration represents a forward-thinking approach to gaming in the U.S., blending entertainment with robust safety measures to enhance the overall player experience.
