Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. Responsible Gambling Resources

A QR at every station and at the counter links to GamCare, BeGambleAware, or the regional equivalent. The QR provides immediate access without a customer needing to ask staff.

2. Self-Exclusion

A QR links to the GAMSTOP self-exclusion registration for UK customers, or the equivalent national scheme. Speed of access to self-exclusion is a regulatory priority.

3. Deposit Limits and Account Controls

A QR links to the operator's account management page: daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and session time limits. Empowers customers to manage their own activity.

4. Regulatory Compliance

Gambling operators must display responsible gambling information prominently under licensing conditions. A QR is supplementary to required printed notices and should link to regulated external resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a QR responsible gambling link satisfy regulatory requirements?

It supplements but does not replace required posted notices. Confirm the specific display requirements with your gambling authority.

Should self-exclusion QRs be conspicuous or discreet?

Conspicuous, as regulators require. Discreet placement implies the operator is not meeting their duty of care.
