Gold card system could flag gambling addicts: doctors

16 June 2010

VICTORIA, BC -- A player rewards program could be used to monitor problem gamblers, experts suggest, according to a CTV report.

B.C could use a system similar to that in The Netherlands using the Gold Card, which rewards players with points and prizes for the dollars they gamble, CTV reported.

The card could also be used to track and highlight players who gamble excessively, but there are privacy concerns with the idea, CTV said.

The minister for gambling has agreed to review "protections for problem gamblers" after a CTV news investigation illustrated how ineffective they are, CTV said.
