UK Gambling Commission investigates adult gaming centre self-exclusion failures
The UK Gambling Commission said it had opened an investigation after a BBC investigation found that only one of 14 adult gaming centres visited in Portsmouth refused entry to a reporter registered with a self-exclusion scheme. The report said two venues were not enrolled in a scheme, contrary to licence agreements, and had since joined one; the Commission described the findings as very concerning.
The investigation may lead to regulatory action over adult gaming centres’ compliance with self-exclusion requirements.
