How do you protect children from being harmed or exploited by gambling?
| |
|
All operators licensed by the Gambling Commission must have
policies and procedures in place which promote socially responsible
gambling.
To protect children these should include, for example:
- checking the age of customers who appear to be, or are
suspected of being, underage
- not deliberately providing facilities for gambling in such a
way as to appeal particularly to children and young people, for
example by reflecting or being associated with youth culture
- in premises restricted to adults, refusing service in
circumstances where an adult is accompanied by a child or young
person.
