Corsight AI and AusComply have partnered to provide a novel self-banning software application for bars and nightclubs. The program will notify administrators when a customer included on a self-exclusion roster enters the establishment. This aims to foster a more secure atmosphere for all.
Facial identification technology developed by Corsight will be deployed to recognize patrons listed on the self-exclusion registry. The system can pinpoint individuals even under difficult circumstances, including dim lighting and smoky conditions.
Brian Sarkis, Managing Director of The Argyle in Sydney, has been keen to introduce this system at his venue. He contends that it will contribute to a safer and more pleasurable experience for all guests.
Individuals who have opted for self-exclusion can be confident that The Star’s personnel are taking appropriate measures to ensure a more pleasant entry process for all patrons on Saturday evening.
To facilitate this, The Star has implemented ID scanning devices at their entry points, utilizing facial recognition software from AusComply with mandatory customer approval.
Sean Borg, the Managing Director of Corsight AI Oceania, elaborated that it can be challenging for security personnel to efficiently track self-excluded persons, particularly if they alter their appearance, such as by shaving, wearing headwear, or spectacles. He stressed that the system safeguards individual privacy by instantly obscuring anyone not flagged and permanently erasing their information. This guarantees adherence to GDPR and the latest Australian privacy regulations.
This effort to curb problematic gambling in Australia goes beyond the recently established self-exclusion database. Five illicit wagering platforms have also been deactivated.
