Gambling under the age of 18 is a criminal offence. Genting takes its responsibilities to prevent access by under-18s very seriously indeed.

If there are concerns about minors getting access to gambling websites, there is filtering software that can be used to protect minors from seeing gambling related sites, these include:

• Net-Nanny filtering software protects children from inappropriate web content. Visit the page here
• CYBERsitter filtering software allows parents to add their own sites to block. Visit the page here

It is also advised to check your own media system for inbuilt parental controls.

If there are concerns about getting access to or viewing gambling sites online, there is blocking software that can limit access to websites or other services available over the internet.

There are two kinds of blocking software generally available:

1. General blocking software, which is designed to block any sites, you want and set access permissions or parental controls:

• NetNanny
• CYBERsitter

2. Gambling-specific blocking software, which is designed to block gambling websites.

• Gamblock
• Betfilter
• Gamban
• BetBlocker

These are non-exhaustive examples of blocking software that are generally available on the web. Whilst such software can be a useful tool to control access to gambling sites, any use of the product will be between you and the third party provider (not Genting) and (in some instances) a fee may be charged for use.

There are now a number of Banks that have the ability for you as a customer to block any gambling transactions. For a list of financial services organisations in the UK that currently offer gambling blocks on debit cards see: www.gamcare.org.uk/block-gambling-transactions. There is also the ability to limit exposure to gambling advertising across social media platforms, such as is explained on this page: www.begambleaware.org/limiting-gambling-ads-online.
