Culture Media and Sport written question – answered at on 6 September 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many gambling operators (a) were investigated and (b) received warnings or punitive action as a result of breaching self-exclusion agreements in each year since 2009.
To date, no operators have received formal regulatory sanctions as a result of self-exclusion agreements being breached. However, as part of the Commission's ongoing compliance work, it regularly engages with licensed operators on this issue and has worked with them, on particular cases, to improve effectiveness. The Gambling Commission requirements are that operators have effective procedures for self-exclusion as part of their licence conditions and that they, take all reasonable steps, to refuse service or otherwise prevent an individual, who has entered a self-exclusion agreement, from participating in gambling.
