In times when betting shops are everywhere , anybody with a gambling addiction can find it very hard to self exclude , and not even that works. It is common standard practise for betting shop staff to ask the gambler to provide a few passport photo's.

In the UK the gambling industry are making billion of pounds from gambling addiction, and the very least that can be done is that these companies provide efficient facilities for self exclusion. One standard photo camera per betting shop doesn't cost much , this is the very least they can give back to the community , 'duty of care'.
