Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

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.

For more information please see our Licence conditions and codes of practice - consolidated December 2011.
