Michael Griffin of Knightdale, North Carolina, offers practical guidance for everyday people navigating the rapid growth of skill-based and online gaming.
As skill-based and online gaming continue to expand across the United States, Michael Anthony Griffin Sr., CEO and Chairman of National Business Center, Inc., is releasing an open letter to everyday individuals who are navigating the fast-changing gaming landscape.

With mobile access increasing and digital platforms becoming more integrated into daily life, Griffin is urging players to stay informed, disciplined, and intentional in their participation.

The U.S. commercial gaming industry has generated more than $60 billion annually in recent years, according to the American Gaming Association. Mobile gaming engagement continues to rise, with more than 85% of American adults owning a smartphone. At the same time, consumer research shows that a significant share of adults who play online games rarely review platform rules or reward structures before playing.

Griffin believes awareness is essential in this environment.

"Digital access isn't temporary. It's a structural shift," Griffin said. "That means operators have to think long-term about oversight and accountability."

But responsibility does not stop with operators.

"When you've sat on the other side as a player, you understand the responsibility," Griffin said. "You see how important it is to design systems that respect the customer."

Below is the open letter Griffin is sharing with communities in Knightdale and beyond.

An Open Letter to Everyday Players

Gaming today is more accessible than ever. It is available on mobile devices, in-store, and online.

Convenience can be positive. But convenience without structure can create problems.

Michael Griffin's message is steady and direct: stay informed and stay disciplined.

"You can't control every market shift," Griffin said. "But you can control how you respond."

Skill-based gaming operates within legal and regulatory frameworks that vary by state. Understanding those rules matters. So does understanding personal limits.

Industry data shows that structured reward programs increase engagement and retention. Griffin helped oversee the development of loyalty systems designed to track participation patterns responsibly.

"Loyalty isn't automatic," Griffin said. "You have to earn it - and you have to manage it the right way."

He emphasizes that gaming should operate within clear boundaries - for operators and individuals.

"Innovation has to operate within constraints," Griffin said. "If it doesn't improve operations or customer clarity, it shouldn't move forward."

National surveys indicate that, while participation in digital entertainment has grown steadily, fewer than half of participants report setting personal limits before engaging.

Griffin believes discipline creates stability.

"Stability matters more than speed," Griffin said. "Overreaction creates damage. Controlled adjustment creates resilience."

The message is not about fear. It is about awareness and steady decision-making in a fast-moving industry.

What You Can Do This Week

Griffin encourages individuals to take practical steps immediately. Here are 10 actions people can take this week:

*
Review the rules and terms of any gaming platform you use.

*
Confirm the platform operates legally in your state.

*
Set a clear weekly time limit before you begin playing.

*
Establish a defined entertainment budget and commit to it.

*
Track your activity for seven days to understand your patterns.

*
Disable push notifications that encourage impulsive participation.

*
Learn how loyalty or rewards systems actually function before enrolling.

*
Take at least one full day off from gaming this week.

*
Discuss healthy boundaries with a trusted friend or family member.

*
Reflect on whether your gaming habits align with your long-term goals.

Small steps build structure. Structure builds clarity.

"This business changes fast," Griffin said. "If you want to last, you have to think long term."

A Practical Call to Action

Michael Griffin invites readers to choose one action from the list above and commit to it for seven days. Consistency builds awareness.

He also encourages readers to share this letter with someone who may benefit from a reminder about responsible participation.

Technology will continue to evolve. Access will continue to expand. Personal responsibility must grow with it.
