BCLC updated self-exclusion programme aims to “reduce stigma”
| By Robert Fletcher
The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) announced a number of updates to its voluntary self-exclusion (VSE) programme in an effort to reduce stigma and make the scheme more approachable.
Renamed “Game Break”, the new-look programme will feature additional elements including an active reinstatement process for individuals who choose to return to play, offering players better support who feel that returning to gambling is right for them.
The terms of enrolment for the scheme will remain the same, with players able to choose to enroll in Game Break for a six-month, one-year, two-year or three-year term.
