Halifax joins HSBC in letting customers block cards from gambling
Block is designed to prevent problem gamblers betting money they can’t afford to lose
Halifax has joined HSBC in announcing customers can now self-exclude their bank cards from being used to gamble – and if they change their mind they won’t be able to start spending again for another 48 hours.
The block is designed to prevent problem gamblers betting money they can’t afford to lose and restrict impulsive behaviour. It lets them prevent their cards being used at bookmakers and gambling websites.
