The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is increasing its initiatives to assist individuals in managing their gaming habits. In the near future, all patrons entering a casino in British Columbia will be required to present photographic identification. This mechanism will automatically verify if the individual is enrolled in BCLC’s “Game Break” program, a voluntary self-exclusion program for casinos.
This adjustment stems from studies and input from Game Break participants who believe it will offer crucial assistance in combating the impulse to gamble. Crucially, the system will not retain any personal data of those granted access. BCLC is dedicated to fostering the well-being of its players globally, and this represents just one facet of their efforts toward achieving that objective.
Should you or someone you know require assistance with gambling-related concerns, please contact Gambling Support BC. They provide complimentary and private support services to British Columbia residents.
Players ought to remember that they could be required to confirm their birthdate and identification even before the game’s official release. This is due to Light & Wonder, the company responsible for the game, meticulously reviewing everything, particularly when handling matters such as jackpot payouts.
Regarding Light & Wonder, they secured an agreement in April 2023 to introduce ReelPlay games to the British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC). This is a significant development as BCLC is renowned for its dedication to diversity and inclusivity – they even received recognition for it from the government!
Indeed, BCLC holds a five-star rating on Canada’s Top Employers for Diversity & Inclusion online platform. They have made exceptional efforts to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive work environment.
