Key proposals include ...
· Players to set time and spend limits · Clubs to install a system when that limit is reached. Staff must then intervene, acting ‘appropriately and in a timely manner’
· Older digital machines and analogue reel-based machines will be scrapped.
Chris Haley, Dransfields Managing Director

From sports clubs to social clubs, Private Members Clubs must make their voices heard to see clubs excluded from these proposed restrictions. Clubs have unique control on all things gambling by nature of membership in a way outlets open to the general public cannot.
