Wager Score FAQs

Asset Reports are created on a per-user basis and include a snapshot of information about a user’s identity, transaction history, discretionary income, monthly expenses, and account balances. This data is used to determine a user’s Wager Score.

Wager Score securely monitors your wagering activity and financial data to provide you with real-time affordability notifications via text and email as well as tailored responsible gaming resources when you play on participating operator sites. That way, you have the data you need to bet responsibly, give back at no extra cost, and not overspend.

Real-time notifications and responsible gaming resources will vary based on the proportion of discretionary income a user spends on gaming. The first trigger notifies a user when they spend 25% of their discretionary income on gaming, the second at 50%, the third at 75%, and the 4th at 100%+.

A combination of data points impacts your Wager Score including average monthly income, the amount spent on gaming, and the payment sources used to wager. For example, using credit cards may negatively impact your score.

Your initial score is based on your average monthly income over the three past months. Changes to your Wager Score are calculated according to the amount of discretionary income you spend on gaming, how you fund your gaming activity, and changes to your discretionary income.

Your Wager Score is based on your monthly income, frequency of deposits, deposit amounts, types of deposits, and the proportion of discretionary income you spend on gaming.
