Making money in business, who would want to turn customers away? However, casinos do just that. In some casinos, you can actually ban yourself from entering! To assist and encourage pathological gamblers to break free from and stay away from gambling venues, some countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and others have introduced voluntary self-exclusion programs in casinos. This self-exclusion program offers options ranging from one year to a lifetime ban for gamblers to limit their betting activities. In Singapore, family members can also assist gamblers in applying for self-exclusion. Breaking the self-exclusion in certain circumstances is considered a criminal offense. Of course, lifting the ban is not impossible, but it requires waiting for a year after the ban takes effect before one can apply to the relevant authorities. |
