Promoted feature: Age verification update
Florian Doellner of Onfido discusses what the new Interstate Treaty on Gambling means for operators and highlights its own age-identification process
- The exclusion of minors and barred players, by applying identification and authentication methods. This should be applied on the basis of the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Human Dignity and the Protection of Minors in Broadcasting and in Telemedia.
- Providing for self-limitation measures (the Interstate Treaty suggests a monthly stake limit of €1,000 for online betting) and prohibiting players from taking loans from the gambling operators.
- Refraining from specific ‘addiction stimuli’, such as fast repetitions.
- Tailoring their ‘social concept’ (responsible gambling guidelines) to the online environment for example, by demonstrating awareness towards online-specific risks and providing for mitigation measures accordingly.
