PartyGaming, operator of the world's largest online poker room PartyPoker, and a leading operator in the online casino market with PartyCasino, has been awarded GamCare certification for the second year running.

GamCare, a charity registered in the United Kingdom, is a leading authority on the provision of information, advice and practical help in addressing the social impact of gambling around the world. Achieving GamCare certification is no mean feat for PartyGaming – it means PartyGaming has complied fully with GamCare's Code of Practice for Remote Gambling and certification reflects PartyGaming's commitment to providing a secure, responsible and trusted online gaming environment for it's players.

Geoffrey Godbold, the CEO of GamCare, stated: "As a market leader, PartyGaming is setting a fine example of responsible gambling."

Achieving GamCare certification entails putting in place systems and processes to verify the age of online players, installing customer-led controls for spending and length of session play, and customer service training to address problem gambling.

John Shepherd, Director of Corporate Communications at PartyGaming, said: "We are committed to responsible gaming and want all of our players to play on our online sites for the right reason - to have fun and play within their means. We look forward to working more closely with GamCare to make consumers more aware of problem gaming and help services."
