UKGC - Self Exclusion

[pinnit2015]

Has anyone heard any movements on the proposal to go to a centralised database for self exclusion by the UKGC?

 

Basically, players (i think) will have the option (?) to either self exclude at individual casinos OR a blanket exclusion across all UK licensed casinos (think of Every Matrix-oh boy, you can see the complaints a coming)

 

I know KMPG were helping with the scoping/costs and there was a draft document prepared by the UKGC but not heard much since.

Ooosh! A blanket exclusion for all UK licensed casinos? Really? That will not go down well.

There was talk of it being 2017 - as long as people get the option to choose: some casino's that i've just wanted to close (for no reason other than simply not liking/bad experiences) have told me i need to self exclude - well no, I don't have a gambling problem so don't force me down that route - not good 

 

Apparently it was all going to be outsourced to a 3rd party so who knows where it's at...

 

Playing devils advocate there is a reasoning that if you do self exclude from one casino because of a gambling issue then you really should do it with everyone else as.

The thing is there are still only talking about this feature and no specific actions and/or results...  

 

Believe me, I will definitely be among the happiest persons once and IF this feature becomes reality, simply because self-exclusion matters reported by UK punters are consuming a huge amount of our time and resources.

You'd think they have no staff to do it! 

 

What does confuse me sometimes is for example, I have loads of accounts with MT Securetrade across may casinos....however All Irish Casino stopped me from opening an account because I'd one with All British - i presume this is something way above my head in terms of white labels/sister sites/shared licence,  or simply their t's and c's!

 

What i would say is that casino's seem to leave it until withdrawal time before checking - if they did this on a more timely basis (and lets be honest they must be able to) then the complaints would plummet. 

 

Not always the case of bad casinos here...pretty sure there have been less than scrupulous players who have been at it

So casinos would have to make this crystal clear right? The fact that it would an entire exclusion for all UK licensed casinos. It seems a lot of work has to be put in to implement that effectively too.
