Integrating RG Tools into Mobile Applications

Introduction

Mobile applications are the main player window in online casinos and bookmakers. Responsible play (RG) tools must be seamlessly built into the interface to be as easy to use as betting. Below is a step-by-step list of mandatory elements, their technical implementation and user scenarios without unnecessary theory.

1. Deposit, bet and loss limits

UI element in settings

• Responsible Play page with three separate sliders or input fields.

Validation

• Limit reduction is activated after 24 hours, increase - immediately.

API

• Endpoint 'POST/rg/limits' with fields' dailyDeposit ',' maxBet ',' dailyLoss'.

UX

• When trying to replenish or bet above the limit - blocking toast-popup with a proposal to change the settings.

2. Timeouts and reality checks

Session timer

• The background service counts the time from the moment you enter the game.

Push- and in-app-notifications

• At the time of timeout (5-60 min), a local "Time to take a break" notification is sent.

Modal window

• A window appears in the game area with the buttons "Pause" and "Play on": the choice is recorded in the server log.

API

• 'POST/rg/timeout' with 'durationMinutes' option. The timeout is stored in the profile and blocks all game screens.

3. Self-exclusion and BetStop

Registry integration

• Deep-link на BetStop: `https: //www. betstop. gov. au/register? returnUrl=…`.

Local self-exclusion

• Form in the application, similar to the web version: selection of the term, downloading the document through the camera.

• • After registration - notification of the status "You are excluded before...."
• API

• 'POST/rg/selfexclusion' + webhooks from BetStop to update status in the app.

4. Real-time activity analysis

Event tracking

• Логи: `gameStart`, `gameEnd`, `deposit`, `bet`, `win`.

Scoring engine on the client

• JS/SDK library that calculates the risk rate according to local rules and, when the threshold is reached, calls' displayRiskWarning () '.

• • A window with the text "We noticed abnormal activity, we recommend pausing" and the buttons "Contact support "/" Disable bonuses."

5. Self-diagnostics and tests

Built-in questionnaire

• 9-question PGSI in the form of cards - one per screen, saving answers in a profile.

• • Component with results and recommendation: "Medium risk level - set limits."
• API

• 'GET/rg/selfassessment' for loading questions, 'POST/rg/selfassessment' for results.

6. Push reminders and schedules

• • Daily at 20:00: "We remind you to check the limits and game time."
• Calendar integrations
• • Offer to add a reminder to Google Calendar or Apple Reminders via a link - "Add Game Break Notification."

7. Access to history and reports

• • Charts and tables: bets by day, total wins/losses
• Export CSV

• Download Session Details button generates a file via 'GET/rg/activity? format=csv`.

Visualization

• Profit/loss chart for the last month with the ability to highlight peak days.

8. Feedback and support

Chat widget

• The "Help" icon on all RG screens opens a chat with a script for the consultant.

• • If the player is high-risk, the bot will offer options: "Set limits," "Self-exclude," "Call Gamblers Help."
• Hotline-button

• The helpdesk number is called with a single click from the application.

Conclusion

Integrating responsible gaming tools into mobile applications requires thoughtful UI/UX, clear API contracts, and synergy between server logic and local SDKs. Limits, timeouts, self-exclusion, risk analytics, self-diagnostics and push reminders should work as a single mechanism to protect the player. Implement all of these components and your application will be secure and licensed in Australia.
