Identity authentication would be required for all gambling. The identification requirement would enable setting gambling bans and consumption limits as well as monitoring one’s personal gambling games consumption.

The Act would require licence holders to implement gambling games in a way that minimises any gambling-related harm. This duty of care would include preventing excessive gambling by means of ongoing monitoring of gambling behaviour. 

Licence holders would also be required to make it possible for gamblers to review the funds and transactions in their gambling account for the past year and provide gamblers with a function that allows them to assess their gambling behaviour. 

A gambling enterprise-specific money transfer limit would apply to gambling under a gambling account. Gamblers would need to personally set a limit on the funds they may transfer into their gambling account in a single day and month. 

When necessary, gambling enterprises would have to impose quantity and time restrictions specific to form of game-running as well as individual games and players. Licence holders would be required to prepare a written self-supervision plan in order to ensure that their activities comply with law. 

As laid out in the Government Programme, consumers would be able to obtain a gambling ban from one platform to cover all licensed gambling games (gambling ban register). Gambling enterprises would moreover have to enable players to impose bans on individual games or groups of games. A quick-stop feature to interrupt all gambling would also be in use. Marketing could not be targeted to persons included on the gambling ban register. 

The Government could issue a decree to lay down provisions on daily, monthly and annual maximum loss limits for each gambling enterprise. Loss limit means the maximum amount of money a player could lose when gambling. In addition, the Ministry of the Interior could issue regulations concerning the characteristics of gambling games in the interests of preventing and reducing gambling-related harm. 

As part of the reform, the work to combat gambling-related harm carried out in the administrative branch of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health would be funded from the Budget. Discretionary government grants could be made available for the prevention and reduction of gambling-related harm.
