‘They somehow got my data’: Gambling addict tells how clubs targeted him | AnnaPattySMH

Eddie had been doing well in abstaining from gambling for more than a year during the first pandemic lockdown.

“My partner puts up with it where she can and then hits a threshold with it when I spend thousands of dollars in a week. It will cause a massive argument. It’s not good for anything. It’s not good for the kids.” A strategy that would physically stop him from gambling would help. While he knows little about how the proposals work, he hopes a system such as a cashless card or facial recognition might help.

“I think we need a national self-exclusion register, and we need an independent national regulator to stop problem gamblers going from one [venue] to another.
