To fulfill these goals, we have been consistently committed to bringing a Responsible Gaming culture as the most critical goal.

In addition, we are providing various RG programs to enhance a sense of responsibility of the retailers, and contact points with customers, while regularly rewarding outperforming retailers based on their RG activities, motivating them to commit themselves to the responsible gaming initiatives.
