ZEAL and Mindway AI cooperate for more player protection

 ·      Application of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify gamblers
 at risk of gambling addiction

 ·      The product GameScanner is used as a "virtual psychologist"

 ·      ZEAL further improves the already high level of player protection
 and compliance in its services

 

 Hamburg, 22. June 2022. ZEAL today announces a cooperation with the Danish
 company Mindway AI (https://mindway.ai/)  to make gambling even safer in the
 future. Mindway AI is a spin-out of the renowned Aarhus University in Denmark.
 The cooperation involves the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify
 gamblers potentially at risk of gambling addiction. With this cooperation,
 ZEAL further improves the already high level of player protection and
 compliance in its services. Based on scientific findings and algorithms, the
 system automatically detects gamblers at risk of gambling addiction at an
 early stage.

 GameScanner identifies gambling problems

 As part of the cooperation, ZEAL is using the so-called GameScanner from
 Mindway AI. The fully automated GameScanner works like a virtual psychologist
 that can be applied to all types of gambling. Thus, ZEAL uses one of the first
 products on the market that is 100% focused on the detection of gambling
 problems.

 Together for safer gambling

 "As a provider of online lotteries, the protection of our players and the
 prevention of gambling addiction are a top priority", says Helmut Becker, CEO
 of ZEAL. "For this reason, it is of utmost importance for us to apply proven
 technologies and methods to protect players, regardless of legal requirements.
 We are proud to have found a partner in Mindway AI that has specialized in
 gambling risk detection and incorporates scientific aspects such as
 neuroscience and psychology into its product development, in addition to
 innovative technologies such as AI. We are pleased to be able to offer our
 players an improved, even safer gaming experience with the use of
 GameScanner."

 "Although lottery products have a low potential for addiction, it is essential
 to reduce possible risks and to monitor and protect at-risk gamblers", said
 Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO of Mindway AI. "We are pleased that ZEAL trusts our
 GameScanner and hereby the first AI-based virtual psychologist specifically
 designed to detect at-risk gamers. Together, we are thus forming an alliance
 to improve gambling safety."
