Premium support 24/7: faster, better

Premium support is a dedicated service for high value players with guaranteed reaction times, priority routing and personal host responsibility. Below is the specifics: how it works and what to demand.

1) Service model
- Dedicated VIP/VVIP line + personal SPOC (host/relationship manager).
- Profile preconfiguration: preferred channels, quiet mode, code word, currency, limits, languages.
- Automatic identification by number/card, instant history boost in CRM.

2) Communication channels (around the clock)
- VIP-Desk phone (ACD with priority queue).
- Chat in the application/on the site, call back ≤ 1 min if overloaded.
- Secure messengers by agreement (end-to-end encryption).
- Email for formal requests/reports.
- Onsite: VIP-rack, direct contact pit boss/host, video concierge in the room.

3) SLA (landmarks for VIP/VVIP)
- Answer: phone ≤ 20/10 sec; chat ≤ 30/15 sec; email initial response ≤ 15/10 min.
- Stabilization of incident P1 (unavailability of the game/score, payment failure): ≤ 15 min; complete solution ≤ 2 hours.
- P2 (critical, but there is a bypass): ≤ 1 h/ ≤ 4 h; P3: ≤ 24 h; P4: ≤ 3 working days.
- Onsite: arrival of the manager on the table/car ≤ 2-5 minutes; equipment downtime ≤ 10 minutes before transfer.
- Automatic escalation by time triggers (see item 5).

4) Prioritization and routing
- ANI/CLI matching, loyalty card, token from the application → jump into the VIP queue.
- The rule of "quiet visit": communication only through the host/messenger without public calls.
- Blacklist of triggers for auto-escalation: account blocking, payment dispute, disrupted transfer, number overbooking.

5) Escalation matrix
- Line 1: VIP-Desk/host agent (T0).
- Line 2: duty manager/technical support of games (T0 + 10-15 min).
- Line 3: pit boss/director of table games or head of product (online) (T0 + 30 min).
- Line 4: VIP Director/COO (T0 + 60 min).
- For payments: L2 finance → risk/AML → acquiring bank (SLA agreed separately).

- Booking and priority on tables/limits, private tables, chip exchange rate.
- Credit line/marker, front money, SoF/SoW verification.

8) Service recovery (compensation for events)

16) How to connect to a premium support (step by step)

1. Complete KYC/SoF/SoW, confirm channels and codeword.
2. Specify SLA expectations, silence windows, reporting format.
3. Before the trip: flights, transfers, booking tables/events, cashout currency.
4. On the day of the game: host contact, limits, backup payment method.
5. After - a short feedback; update the "preference card."

17) What to submit in circulation (template)
- ID (ID/card), channel/location, date/time, table/game/machine, amount/transaction, desired result, attachments (screen/check).
- Specify criticality (P1-P4) - will speed up routing.

18) Risk management and fault tolerance
- Plans B/C: reserve tables/halls, spare transfer routes, generators.
- Payment gateway failures: manual markers/paper vendors before recovery.
- Team training: P1 simulations quarterly.

19) Quality improvement methods
- VOC/CSAT after each P1/P2; analysis of cases; KMS updates.
- Tracking triggers churn/save-rate; predictive alerts (discounts, queues).

20) Responsible play
- Personal limits and cooling-off at the profile level; host helps to configure.
- Support is obliged to offer assistance resources if it sees risk patterns.

Bottom line: premium support for Australians is clear SLAs, personal responsibility and secure channels. Capture expectations, use escalation and require transparent reports - this makes the quality of service predictable and consistent with your premium level.
