UK Betting Firms Dismiss Accusations Over Underage Gambling
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Most of the UK operators have dismissed the claims that they are targeting minors and said the allegations by a UK media outlet are “completely untrue.”
“Media reports that betting companies have access to the Learning Records Service database are untrue. GB Group (accused of providing data) provides age verification services to a range of organisations from banks to government agencies and betting companies,” gambling industry trade body the Betting and Gaming Council said.
“The claims made in the Sunday Times (…) are completely untrue. In fact the reverse is true. We use the company solely for age and identity verification services. That’s in order to ensure that no customer can open an account without confirming they are over 18,” Flutter said.
“The only information 32Red has access to is confirmation or rejection that the person requesting to open an account with us is over the age of 18. Not specific details about that person,” 32Red said.
