In New South Wales, Australia, facial recognition technology will now be used to allow people to “self-exclude” themselves from gambling venues. Cameras will scan patrons' faces as they enter a venue and compare their faces to a database of problem gamblers who have consented to be part of the self-exclusion scheme. If a problem gambler is identified, an alert is sent to venue staff who can then intervene and refer the person to support services.
