I received a phone call today from an addicted gambler who has self excluded using the Count Me Out system. He was concerned that there was a family entertainment centre near his home town and he wanted to self excluded from the premises.

They refused even though the person wishing to self exclude was prepared to get the form counter signed and send in a photograph of...

An excellent example of SIRCS in Action.
Does anyone have any views on cheap alcohol promotions ?
For instance do "clubbers" buy more just because the drinks are so cheap ?
Are younger clubbers more likely to be influenced by these cheap offers in clubs and bars ?

Your Count Me Out scheme is excellent and would greatly benefit my son who has gambled all his adult life and lost fortunes etc. It seems that none of the big betting companies i.e. Ladbrokes, W.Hill etc. are members of your scheme. Also internet betting companies would also need to sign up to your programme for self exclusion. It appears many companies run their own self exclusion and feel they do not need you.
A national scheme is certainly needed. What an excellent programme you have produced....
