Kindred Group is a group of gambling companies that include Unibet Poker. This week, Kindred revealed data concerning the income from the troubled players.
Troubled (compulsive) players are considered the gamblers who are not able to control themselves in the game. Such people can lose large amounts of money in a matter of minutes by being unaware of that.
Kindred set a goal to completely get rid of such players within two years (i.e. not to allow them to play in the gambling companies, including Unibet Poker). According to the company's report, 4.31% of income come from the clients who suffer from gambling addiction.
