Non-remote multi-operator self-exclusion
All non-remote operators who are premises licence holders in the arcade, betting, bingo and casino sectors are required to participate in a multi-operator self-exclusion scheme.
LCCP: Social responsibility code 3.5.6
Self-exclusion is widely accepted as an important harm minimisation tool for customers who have recognised that they have a problem with their gambling and wish to be supported in their decision to stop.
A significant weakness of existing arrangements, highlighted by the GambleAware Harm Minimisation Report, was the ease with which someone who has self-excluded at one location or with one operator could continue to gamble at others.
The multi-operator scheme allows an individual to make a single request to self-exclude from the same type of gambling within their area.
Trade bodies have led on the development of multi-operator self-exclusion arrangements for their sector and not just for their membership.
If you offer different forms of gambling from different premises, you will be required to participate in the schemes relevant to the forms of gambling you offer.

*Those operators that:
- offer exempt bingo
- hold a bingo operating licence because they reach the high turnover bingo limit
- do not hold premises licences
do not have to participate in the bingo multi-operator scheme.
