At PlayCasino, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This commitment to accessibility means continually working to enhance our website and ensuring that it adheres to the best practices and standards defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Explore this page to understand our efforts and the steps we are taking to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience.
Our Accessibility Statement
We firmly believe in providing an inclusive digital environment where all users can access and benefit from our content. We strive to maintain a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
Understanding WCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are a set of recommendations designed to make online content more accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. These guidelines are developed through the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the primary international standards organization for the Internet. WCAG guidelines are organized into three levels of accessibility: A, AA, and AAA. Each level targets a broader range of accessibility issues.
Here's what each level represents:
Level A
This is the most basic level of web accessibility. Examples include providing text alternatives for non-text content (like images) and ensuring all functionalities are available from a keyboard.
Level AA
This level deals with the major common barriers that people with disabilities face. Some examples include providing navigation aids through consistent layout and design and ensuring that text contrasts against background colours.
Level AAA
Level AAA tackles finer details that improve accessibility but might be more challenging to implement. For instance, it includes guidelines for the timing of content (giving users more time to read and use content) or captions on live audio content.
Our Ongoing Efforts For a More Accessible Website
Our team is dedicated to regularly reviewing and improving our site to ensure it meets the highest accessibility standards. By implementing these changes, we aim to provide a seamless and inclusive experience for all our users. Here’s a summary of the efforts we’ve made:
Improving Button Accessibility
We have made our buttons easier to understand for everyone, especially for those using screen readers. Screen readers help visually impaired users by reading out loud the content of a website. Now, all our buttons have clear and descriptive text, so users know exactly what each button does, making navigation simpler and more intuitive.
Making Icons More Accessible
We found a way to make the icons on our site more user-friendly for people who use screen readers. Instead of using a method that could be confusing, we switched to a new way that gives clear descriptions of what each icon represents. This helps users who rely on screen readers understand the purpose of the icons, making our site easier to use for everyone.
