The National Revenue Agency (NRA) of Bulgaria has ruled that casino operators may not employ anyone who is self-excluded from entering a gambling establishment, iGaming Business reported August 7.
Employers who disobey the rule could pay a fine of BGN20,000 (£8,800/€10,200/$11,200). The NRA announced the ban after there were many inquiries about whether casino operators could hire persons on the self-exclusion register.
The law states that an individual in the register may not enter a casino. The NRA clarified that the ban includes employees of a casino and not just players. The law also prohibits people in uniform, minors under 18, anyone without an ID, anyone intoxicated with drugs or alcohol and anyone armed from entering a casino.
The self-exclusion register ceased to function for two years and began operating again last December. Persons can specify how long to self-exclude, with the minimum being two years.
