What is G4?

Between them, they have many years of experience working with the gambling industry worldwide to encourage responsible gambling and minimize the harm caused by problem gambling. Their experience covers drafting responsible gambling programs and devising and delivering training programs for staff of land-based and remote and e-gambling companies, as well as running helplines and face-to-face counselling services for problem gamblers themselves.

How to be accredited ?
The accreditation process consists of four main steps. The first step is to familiarize yourself with the G4 standards by reading the code of practice and estimating the feasibility of accreditation for your company. The second step is to sign the agreement between your company and G4 and set an audit date six months after signing the agreement. The third step is providing the necessary evidence to prove that your company complies with the G4 standards. Finally, an auditor from G4 will visit your location and carry out the base audit and then the follow-up audit eighteen months from the base audit. If the results of the base audit were successful, then G4 would issue a certificate. Congratulations, you are accredited.
