UK trade association BACTA, has appointed ISD - a company that has already developed a self-exclusion programme for the Bingo Association in the UK - to draw up a similar scheme for BACTA members.
It will enable people to self-exclude from adult gaming centres and arcades with gambling machines that would be networked across a region. BACTA’s Social Responsibility Committee chose ISD to carry out the work and the plan is that it will be in operation by April 6, 2016.
At this stage the only information on the necessities for self-exclusion will be a photograph and personal details and the postcode of the location which will then act as the centre of the self-exclusion area.
The committee envisaged that the range of the self-exclusion would be no more than 500m which would work in most locations in the country.
