Volume 27: Almond Digital Health CEO Kevin Winters

Join us as we dive into the responsible gaming sector with Almond Digital Health CEO Kevin Winters. In this insightful interview, XST Capital’s Founder, Joel Simkins, explores Almond’s unique digital support platform designed to be layered into the gambling experience, discussing their goal to provide insight and support during moments that matter rather than impose control, the support they’ve received from government and industry partners, and their work as a founding member of the Better Gambling Forum.

Almond Digital Health is a platform dedicated to addressing problem gambling through education, early intervention, and supportive recovery tools. Almond is designed to be embedded directly within sportsbooks, iGaming platforms, casino fintech systems, and educational settings – making it possible to identify at-risk behavior and offer help in real time.

Discover how Almond has developed their tools around a choice, not a prescription philosophy, to focus on prevention, early support, and scalable impact, and how they’ve deliberately partnered with industry players to scale access while keeping Almond free for users and focused on healthy habits. Gain valuable insights into the importance of developing trust through anonymity, transparency, and data protections, the necessity of building responsible gaming into the experience itself, not just layered on afterwards, and viewing gambling harm as a public health and systems issue rather than an individual failure.

Kevin also shares his thoughts on opportunities to expand beyond gambling into research trials, other substance misuse, and adjacent behavioral health areas, and discusses their work collaborating with regulators in the U.S. and participating in global discussions as a founding member of the Better Gambling Forum. Learn how Almond Digital Health plans to continue advocating for gambling harm support as they look to expand their offerings, strategic partnerships, and research to provide scalable, equitable solutions tailored to different environments and populations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a thought leader in the responsible gaming sector and gain valuable insights into the future of online gaming.
