This week, the British Columbia Lottery Company announced that there will be some changes to its requirements for game-braking self-exclusion programs at casinos. With the new rules, customers must present government-issued photo IDs to register. Official implementation dates will be announced in the coming weeks, regulators said.
Game Break is a voluntary and secret program that allows players to take a break from gambling for a selected period of time. Once individuals sign up, they choose not to gamble at B.C. gambling venues and at PlayNow.com . The latter is the official iGaming platform of Crown Corporation, the only regulated online website for gambling in B.C.
After the changes take effect, sponsors must present government-issued photo identification to participate in the program. Identification will be carried out by security personnel scanning your ID, which will be compared to the database of individuals enrolled in the program. It will not store any personal information for people who are allowed to enter game facilities.
According to Crown, the new requirements align with the goal of having the world’s healthiest athletes through an evidence-based athlete health program focused on positive outcomes. A third-party review of the self-exclusion program shows that participants believe that identification at casinos will best support the choice of being denied entry at these gaming venues.
The BCLC also reminded British Colombians that free prevention, treatment and support services are available through gambling support BC, but the official implementation date of Photo ID has not been released. However, players should be aware that they can be asked to confirm their age or identity even now, and they can also be identified in the process of requesting jackpot prizes.
But even after enrolling individuals in a self-isolation program, it’s up to them to keep their personal commitments. However, The Crown Company believes the new changes to the identification requirements at casinos will help gamblers take a break from gambling by blocking attempts to enter one of the many gaming venues across the state.
This is the second time BCLC has improved some of its game brake self-exclusion programs in 2023. In January, the Crown Agency reported updating its program to make it more accessible and add elements for further protection. The update was provided in two segments: a new name and a reinstatement process for players who decided to return.
A few months after that, the BCLC announced that it had become a sports integration lottery. The latter, formerly known as the Global Lottery Monitoring System, promotes responsible gambling. BCLC is now the third Canadian lottery to join, after Lotto Quebec, Ontario Lottery and gaming companies.
