888 Ladies Bingo sees out 2008 with an esteemed GamCare award

Popular online bingo site 888 Ladies Bingo saw out 2008 in style after being awarded a prestigious GamCare certificate.

The certificate is awarded by the National Association for Gambling Care Educational Resources and Training for "good practice and commitment to the protection of players" as outlined in their code of practice for remote gambling.

GamCare is a registered UK charity which offers online gamers guidance, counselling and where necessary practical assistance whilst focussing on the social effects of internet gambling.

An official GamCare statement confirmed that 888's standards of practice which accentuate responsible gaming also showed commitment to prevent underage or problematic gambling.

A statement from 888 quoted:

"As part of its responsibility initiative 888 participates in social activities and encourages practices designed to obviate problem and underage gambling.

The campaign is based on the strong belief that customers will enjoy the games on offer most by playing responsibly."

As GamCare is one of the biggest British gambling charities, this much coveted award will serve to emphasise the fact that 888 Ladies Bingo remain committed to protecting their players at all times.

Online bingo operators who have been awarded a GamCare certificate will display a GamCare approval emblem on their homepage which is also usually a link to the official GamCare site, which provides live online help and advice to any players concerned about their online gambling habits.
