Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion
Dr. Crystal Fulton:
I could not speak to that. I do not know exactly what information is at the disposal of the companies and I am not able to comment on what they are using. I will say that participants talked about self-exclusion and the problems with it. A person might self-exclude from one company and then place a sneaky bet somewhere else.
I may be excluded with one company but not with another. There was this kind of blanket exclusion. It becomes a tricky space as to how one achieves this across venues for an individual who has a very serious problem, the handling of which needs in-depth exploration.
