Melco maintains status as the first and only European operator with 'RG Check' accreditation

City of Dreams Mediterranean has again achieved the esteemed 'RG Check accreditation for 2025.

The integrated resort was the first European operator to receive the 'RG Check' accreditation in 2021. The accreditation covers all Cyprus Casinos (C2) satellite locations in Nicosia, Ayia Napa and Paphos.

'RG Check' is a prestigious and international third-party accreditation developed by the Responsible Gambling Council and is the world’s most comprehensive and rigorous responsible gaming accreditation program. It is awarded to organisations that meet or exceed all existing responsible gaming regulatory requirements and is valid for three years. Accreditation is reviewed by a prestigious and independent panel of responsible gaming specialists.

As a developer, owner and operator of integrated resort facilities in Asia and Europe, Melco is committed to fair and safe responsible gaming practices. The Company is the only operator to be accredited globally for all its properties in Asia and Europe in the year 2021. This accreditation is a testament to the Company’s commitment to responsible gaming practices.

Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEO of Melco, said, “We are very pleased and honoured to receive this accreditation. Responsible Gaming is critical to our industry, and we place much emphasis on providing rigorous training, policy and culture. I thank our colleagues for their efforts in helping us attain this recognition, and the government of Cyprus for its guidance with our Responsible Gaming programs.”

Shelley White, CEO of Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), said, “RGC is thrilled that Melco has once again demonstrated its commitment to responsible gaming by achieving the ‘RG Check’ accreditation in Cyprus for each of its four operating Cyprus Casino properties. Throughout this process, Melco has demonstrated its transparency as an operator and has made duty of care a priority in its operations. In particular, we commend Melco on a best-in-class score in the Standard Area of RG Policy, Strategy and Culture which recognises Melco’s strong responsible gaming leadership and its comprehensive and integrated approach to building a responsible gaming culture that demonstrates awareness of the potential harms caused by gambling, as well as prevention and mitigation measures. ‘RG Check’ is an invaluable tool for managing risk and increasing the effectiveness of RG programming. RGC is proud to provide continuous support to Melco’s harm minimisation efforts throughout its participating properties around the world.”
