Better player protection through holograms
Online gaming banks are booming. Various licensors legalize gambling sites in Europe, with German licensing now considered one of the strictest. However, player protection remains an important topic, because the operating limits remain high, especially in foreign online game pharmacies. However, gambling can also be a problem in German online casinos. A UK company came up with something new: You could use holograms to appeal to healthy gaming behavior.
Make game addiction prevention more emotional
Currently, players can track their history in online game pharmacies and see how much money they have spent. In addition, your own limits can be set - but in many online gaming banks, this is optional. Those who want to simply play with high stakes and are not advised by the game operators to play responsibly. The panic button has established itself in Germany. Players can be locked out immediately. It is already evident that this button is effective. For many players, monthly loss has decreased. Yet many critics agree that gambling on the internet still needs to become even more secure. This includes doing gambling prevention that works best before a problem can cause harm. A UK company now wants to use holograms that can communicate with players. This is to create an emotional connection, which makes the warning appear less abstract. Being on holograms is basically nothing new. Such advertising has been used for a long time in the marketing sector – with success. The chances are good that a hologram could also have a good impact on players at risk of playing.
Game pharmacies and players could benefit
Players should be better protected from unconsidered actions. For example, a hologram might appear on the screen in between and remind you how much money you have lost or how long you have been playing. It could also ask questions: How do you feel? Are you upset? Could it be time for a break?That would better protect players, but it could also benefit game otheties. Because now there are so many online game pharmacies on the market that laypersons no longer know who they can trust. Leading by example here and using modern security measures builds trust with the player. Because you like to return to a page where you feel valued. Accordingly, the holograms could even be really good marketing – another reason they certainly have a future.
What should modern player protection look like?

Lizenzgeber wie die maltesische Behörde oder jene aus Curacao haben einen weniger strengen Spielerschutz als die Zulassungsstellen aus Deutschland oder etwa Großbritannien. In Deutschland dürfen nur noch maximal 1.000 Euro pro Monat verzockt werden, zudem gibt es am Spielautomaten ein Limit von einem Euro pro Runde. In ausländischen Online Spielbanken gibt es diese Vorgaben nicht. Momentan können Spieler selbst entscheiden, welchen Lizenzgeber sie attraktiver finden. Auch in ausländischen Online Spielotheken kann man sich sperren lassen, doch ob diese Möglichkeit wirklich oft genutzt wird, zweifeln viele Kritiker an. Zudem bleiben jene Glücksspielseiten, die ganze ohne Lizenz agieren, weiterhin ein Problem. Damit ist klar, dass sich auf dem europäischen Glücksspielmarkt noch einiges verändern muss. Optimaler Spielerschutz müsste einheitlich gestaltet werden und Spieler rechtzeitig warnen, das ist momentan auf vielen Seiten noch nicht der Fall. Hologramme scheinen da ein guter Schritt in die richtige Richtung zu sein, um gefährdete Spieler aus ihrem Tunnel zu holen.
