Documenting every intervention for audit scores 70 on exposure, since interventions can be logged and summarised automatically with light review. Applying limits, cooling off periods and self exclusions scores 60, because software rules set most of them. Reviewing alerts on chasing losses scores 55, as AI can triage and summarise them first.
Which tasks stay with responsible gaming officers?

Working with treatment charities scores 15, because those partnerships rest on relationships and in person trust that the officer builds directly.
How can responsible gaming officers stay valuable?
Check AI-triaged alert summaries against the player record in Salesforce before any action. Make the affordability call yourself after AI extracts the bank data in Excel. Sign off the intervention log and the regulator report, since you answer for both. Train support and VIP teams in person, because people deliver the training.
