Facial Recognition Technology: An Effective Tool Against Gambling Addiction

South Australia introduced a gambling reform package, which mandates that any venues authorized to operate 30 or more gaming machines with at least one using a banknote acceptor are required to have approved facial recognition technology installed in their gaming rooms. A framework was established by the government, wherein a person can voluntarily opt to be enrolled in a Statewide Self-Exclusion Register anonymously.

Tekhne Logia, utilizing Innovatrics SmartFace, has been granted official approval for its face recognition technology for the Consumer and Business Services (CBS) Gambling reform package.
