Betting shops: protection that scales with footfall.

The betting shop challenge

Betting shops serve a steady flow of customers, often with one or two staff on duty. Through MOSES, a shop may hold photographs of many excluded customers — and the busiest times are exactly when spotting them is hardest.

Major tournaments bring peak footfall. The Betting and Gaming Council lists self-exclusion schemes and mandatory age checks among the protections of the regulated market, and ahead of the 2026 World Cup GamCare told the BBC that its helpline saw an 11% increase in contacts after the 2022 tournament.

How ClientScan helps betting shops

  • Recognise excluded customers on entry — before they reach the counter or a machine.
  • Alerts to staff via WhatsApp, email or on-screen, even when they're serving.
  • Think 25 prompts from age validation in under one second.
  • Estate-wide database — exclusions and alerts shared across your shops through a central cloud database.
  • Existing cameras — works with USB and RTSP / IP cameras on a standard Windows PC.

Supporting your staff

ClientScan doesn't replace your team's judgement — it gives them a reliable prompt, so they can have the right conversation at the right moment and signpost support such as the National Gambling Helpline (0808 8020 133).
