Real Time Under Age Gambling Monitor
Anywhere that the FOBT and any gambling systems are employed operators are required by law to ensure that persons under the legal age for those activities are not allowed to use the equipment or to gamble. This is much harder than some might think, but the new ChallengeCall system protects both the business and the under age persons.
For some time it has been the responsibility of the operator of gambling that they are responsible under UK law to stop under age gambling from happening on their premises. The Local trading standards for your area is responsible to ensure that the law is not being broken and they will carry out 'spot checks' unannounced to ensure that the law is upheld. But things go further than that! They even employ persons that certainly look (and may well be) underage to enter your premises and try and use the equipment - and if they succeed then there will be legal issues to answer to.
Bearing in mind the above we developed a system called ChallengeCall that can determine when someone is about to use the equipment, so that they can be checked whether they are over the minimum age for gambling. This is a completely unique solution that can literally save much aggravation and actually provide the tools you need to ensure there are no under age gamblers.
But
now (not shown in the video demo) we can integrate
VueText LED screens above the gambling machines that
also shows the user that they are being monitored and
may be approached to determine age... this is one
way of deterring under age gamblers. ChallengeCall
normally operates silently and does not advise the
person that they are going to be checked if they look
under age, but with VueText that notification could be
seen as a proactive method of operation and certainly we
think is favourable to many local authorities trading
standards that the operator is being proactive.
And with the VueText display being crystal clear, available in two sizes, with two or four lines of text, with audio if needed and the ability to have multiple VueText screens operational on-site this is a sure-fire winner and an option to be considered.
While there are other solutions available from competitors, you will find that the costs involved with those alternatives is generally exceptionally high. ChallengeCall was developed from the ground up, using the very latest ideas and technology that is available, and the system is used in many hospitality sites around the UK with good success of stopping under age gambling.
