RocketPlay: Responsible Gaming Becomes Key for Casino Choice
With the rise in online gaming worldwide, RocketPlay Casino understands the growing importance of responsible gaming practices. They are dedicated to ensuring that players enjoy a safe and fun gaming environment.
To achieve this, RocketPlay is launching a initiative to explore how responsible gaming tools affect players and how well they understand and use these tools.
The first step in this effort involved conducting interviews with players to learn how RG tools influence their gaming habits and decision-making. This research will help RocketPlay refine its approach and improve communication about the tools’ benefits and importance.
3 unique stories that highlight the growing importance of responsible gaming tools:
John, a 35-year-old engineer from Toronto
John enjoys online casino games to unwind. “A casino must provide tools to limit oneself. I have a planned budget for gaming. Setting a limit helps me stick to it without worrying about overspending. RocketPlay makes it easy to set limits, which is why I stayed.”
Sophia, a 28-year-old teacher from Berlin
Sophia is new to online gaming. “For me, controlling losses is crucial. The loss limit feature gives me peace of mind. I know I won’t lose more than I can afford, making the gaming experience enjoyable and stress-free.”
Michael, a 45-year-old driver from Sydney
Michael has been gaming for years and values managing his wagers “As someone who likes to control their spending, the wager limit tool was exactly what I needed. Being able to set a cap on my wagers ensures I don’t go overboard, especially when I’m on a winning streak,” Michael shared.
Following interviews with players, it has become evident that the choice of an online casino extends beyond technical specifications of the gaming platform. Players appreciate the ability to control their expenditures and minimize the risks associated with undesirable gambling behavior.
RocketPlay’s commitment to understanding and enhancing responsible gaming will continue over the next three months. The team plans to further explore players’ needs and preferences and share their findings with the industry. Their goal is to promote responsible gaming practices widely, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
RocketPlay is an online casino with over 3,000 slots, a VIP program, and 31 convenient payment methods. Renowned for its commitment to excellence and responsible gaming, RocketPlay boasts outstanding ratings on AskGamblers (9/10) and Trustpilot (4.4/5), along with certificates of trust from Chipy.com and Casino.guru. One of the casino’s focuses is responsible gaming and safe environment, making RocketPlay a trusted choice for online gaming enthusiasts.

28th Annual East Coast Gaming Congress
Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International and CEO of Seminole Gaming, Receives Lifetime Achievement Award at East Coast Gaming Congress
Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International (HRI) and Hard Rock Digital and Chief Executive Officer of Seminole Gaming, was honored with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the 28th Annual East Coast Gaming Congress (ECGC). Allen accepted the award in a ceremony at ECGC, the longest-running gaming conference in the United States, in his hometown, held at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
Allen is the seventh person to receive this award in the nearly 30-year ECGC history. ECGC honored Allen for his nearly 45-year career which has made him one of the most influential leaders in the global gaming and hospitality industry. During Allen’s tenure, Seminole Hard Rock and HRI have demonstrated exceptional hospitality and financial performance, setting industry benchmarks with their success.
Responsible for all gaming, hospitality and entertainment operations at the Seminole Tribe of Florida (STOF) since 2001, Allen has guided the development of Seminole Gaming into one of the world’s most successful casino and integrated resort operators, with seven casino locations throughout Florida, including the world’s first Guitar Hotel, which opened in October 2019.
Allen led STOF’s 2007 acquisition of HRI, the first of a major international company by a North American Indian Tribe, which has expanded its global presence from 46 to nearly 80 countries and over 300 locations including Hard Rock cafes, hotels, casinos, Rock Shops and live music venues.
“This recognition is a testament to the hard-working team at Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, whose dedication and passion have driven our success. I extend my deepest gratitude to the Seminole Tribe of Florida for their continued leadership and am proud of what we have accomplished – from expanding our global footprint, to innovating in the gaming and hospitality industries, and forming incredible alliances with icons in entertainment and sports. This award inspires us to continue pushing boundaries and setting new standards of excellence. Thank you to the East Coast Gaming Congress for this incredible honor,” said Allen.
Allen has led the evolution of the hospitality company that is synonymous with music entertainment to also include sports entertainment, while maintaining its deep-rooted music history. Over the last few years, Hard Rock has established strategic partnerships among the greats of Formula 1, Oracle Red Bull Racing, Lionel Messi, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and local sports teams. In addition, Allen was instrumental in ushering in a new era of gaming in Florida with the introduction of craps, roulette and sports betting to Seminole Hard Rock hotels and casinos.
For the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, Allen is serving on the Miami Host Committee Board of Directors alongside a diverse group of leaders in business development, sports management, event planning and community engagement. In 2020, Allen launched the joint venture Hard Rock Digital, an online sportsbook, retail sportsbook and internet gaming platform. Additionally, Hard Rock partnered with the Miami Dolphins ownership to brand Hard Rock Stadium and become the first casino brand to achieve NFL stadium naming rights based on Hard Rock’s perception as a hospitality and entertainment company versus just a casino company.
The American Gaming Association inducted Allen into the Gaming Hall of Fame Class of 2024 for making significant contributions to the industry. The National Association of Minority Contractors (NAMC) recognized Allen as a 2023 Unity Gala Honoree for his exceptional service to MWBE contractors. In 2020, Allen was inducted into the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship’s Entrepreneur and Business Hall of Fame at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Fla. Junior Achievement of South Florida named Allen a Business Hall of Fame Laureate in 2019.
