The SVP of Sightline will discuss the role of financial institutions in responsible gaming.

During the Responsible Gambling Councils (RGC) Discovery 2022 conference, Sightline Payments Jonathan Michaels will discuss the role of financial institutions regarding responsible gaming.

As the SVP of Strategic Development and Government Affairs, Michaels will participate in a panel discussion on how these institutions can help mitigate financial harm in the gambling industry. 

The panel discussion will focus on intervention and mitigation techniques that can have a significant impact on preventing financial harm from gambling. 

Michaels's focus will be on how payment technology is advancing responsible gambling behavior and the duty that gambling industry stakeholders undertake to make it a top priority. 

Joining Michaels on the panel is RG Check Associate Director Bob Michniak, EPIC Risk Management Director of Safer Gambling Dan Spencer, GamCare Financial Harm Manager Raminta Diliso and Credit Canada Senior Education Facilitator Richard Haggins. 

There is a virtual option available for the conference that takes place in Toronto, Ontario on Wednesday, November 9. 

In late October, Sightline Payments secured a strategic investment from JP Morgan Payment. As part of the deal, Sightline will work with JP Morgan Payment to develop an integrated omnichannel solution for resort and online gaming companies. 

Sightline Co-Founder and Co-CEO Omer Sattar commented: "A gaming patron’s money should be safe, secure, and should follow that patron effortlessly through their digital and brick & mortar lifecycle. 

"We are confident that a strategic relationship with JP Morgan Payments will allow us to deliver a unique mobile user experience for those gaming industry patrons and power the digital transformation for gaming operators."
