SAZKA will use the OCR readers and the PIN Pads for its responsible gaming support to verify player’s age and, if the relevant legislation passes, to check what are known as the ‘player cards’, which will prevent recipients of social security benefits, debtors and people who are prohibited from gambling by court or those who voluntarily decide not to gamble from playing games of chance.
Also, the OCR readers and the PIN Pads will be largely used in the SAZKA Club loyalty scheme, which SAZKA is planning to launch in the autumn of this year. The readers will be used for registering new members of the Club or for deposits and withdrawals of cash. The keypad will enhance Club members’ convenience when these players buy lottery and non-lottery products, primarily when they make payments from their Cash Accounts or Bonus Point Accounts.
