The importance of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Service

An ADR is more than relevant on the gambling industry that is developing nowadays. Such service allows all the parties involved to interact with each other and help one another improve in all aspects.

This type of service has allowed many gambling operators to get better and increase their importance on the market that they belong to. ThePOGG, CasinoMeister and AskGamblers.com are platforms that have definitely made the iGaming industry more reliable across the whole world.

For instance, these ADRs have given the players a voice, a real space where their opinions and complaints are heard and taken into account. Thanks to this, many players and inexperienced users have been warned about fake gambling platforms as well.

Ultimately, ADRs have let the criminals and swindlers who are part of the iGaming industry know that they are working nonstop every day to identify them and eventually, they will be detected and erased from the industry once and for all.

ThePOGG providing its high-quality platform for free

Considering the high level of relevance and popularity that ThePOGG has had on the iGaming industry since its launch, it is more than just intriguing to know that the reputable platform is free for the players as well as the operators.

Usually, ADRs charge the operators a decent fee so that they can use the platform to read the complaints and opinions made about them. Shockingly, this is not the case when it comes to ThePOGG.

Because of this, ThePOGG has been able to amass a huge number of active players on a regular basis, as well as operators. For the gambling operators, ThePOGG is not only useful and reliable, but it also represents a powerful tool that does not require any type of investment.

Thanks to the fact that ThePOGG counts with the biggest number of users when compared to the other top-notch ADRs, plenty of operators, especially the new ones, have not had to be part of other platforms to improve their services and offers.

ThePOGG has not stated the possibility of charging the operators a fee for the use of the platform which most likely means that the platform is set to remain free for a longer period of time.

Gambling commissions notices the work done by ADRs

It is a great and worth-praising initiative, the one that the United Kingdom Gambling Commission has taken in regard to the use of ADRs.

Thanks to it, the players have a clearer idea as to what gambling platforms are worth their time and investments. Additionally, the operators are also granted the chance to improve their services following the many opinions left by the British players.

The initiative has been positive for the iGaming industry in the United Kingdom. However, no other regulated jurisdiction has made the decision to take this policy into consideration yet.

Many players and operators are waiting for other countries to make use of this policy since it has delivered great results.
