What happens if you gamble while self excluded?

It is up to you to stick to your self-exclusion agreement, but if you try to gamble during that time the gambling business should take reasonable steps to prevent you from doing so. Once you have made a self-exclusion agreement, the gambling company must close your account and return any money in your account to you.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a facility for those that have decided that they wish to stop gambling for at least six months and wish to be supported in their decision to stop. If you think you are spending too much time or money gambling – whether online or in gambling premises – you can ask to be ‘self-excluded’. It is up to you to stick to your self-exclusion agreement, but if you try to gamble during that time the gambling business should take reasonable steps to prevent you from doing so. Once you have made a self-exclusion agreement, the gambling company must close your account and return any money in your account to you. It must also remove your name and details from any marketing databases it uses. All companies that offer gambling in licensed premises (arcades, bookmakers, bingo and casinos) must be part of a multi-operator self-exclusion scheme. This allows you to make a single request to self-exclude from all premises offering the same type of gambling (for example, betting shops) in your area, rather than the customer needing to exclude from each operator individually. You can find out more about self-exclusion and the multi-operator self-exclusion scheme on the GambleAware website .

Self-exclusion online

A multi-operator self-exclusion facility is being developed for online gambling companies. We hope this will be in place by the end of 2017. Before this is available you can self-exclude with each of the online businesses that you gamble with. In addition you could consider blocking software which blocks access to gambling websites.

Breaking your self-exclusion agreement

In an anonymous gambling environment there will be times when customers who have self-excluded will be able to gamble without being identified. It is the role of gambling businesses to ensure these occasions are minimised by putting reasonable arrangements in place to prevent them. If you have gambled whilst self-excluded you should inform the gambling business as this may help them identify any areas where their procedures could be improved. For similar reasons you may wish to let us know as it provides useful intelligence about potential shortcomings. In order for us to consider using the information you give us to explore whether it highlighted shortcomings with a company’s procedures we would need you to provide us with your permission to share your details with the company. You will also need to tell us:

When you entered into the self-exclusion agreement

How you let company know you wanted to self-exclude

What the company provided to confirm that the self-exclusion was in place

The period you self-excluded for

The dates you were able to gamble even though you believed you had a self-exclusion agreement in place Details of any contact you have had with the company since you gambled with them.

How much does Jay-Z charge per verse?

Hov added, “Pretty much every song that I'm on, I'm asked to be on. I don't ask people to be on their songs,” before revealing that he doesn't take money for verses. “I never charge,” he shared. As for the features he turns down, Jay-Z admitted there's “way more no's than yes's.”

During his interview with Kevin Hart for Season 2 of the comedian’s Peacock series Hart to Heart, Jay-Z opened up about the cost of collaborating with him. Despite his unmatched status in the rap game, Hov revealed he doesn’t charge artists for his feature verses. Asked if he chooses his collaborations based on relationships, Jay said, “Yeah. Mostly relationships...It’s actually always been mostly relationships. Sometimes it’s talent.” Hov added, “Pretty much every song that I’m on, I’m asked to be on. I don’t ask people to be on their songs,” before revealing that he doesn’t take money for verses. “I never charge,” he shared. As for the features he turns down, Jay-Z admitted there’s “way more no’s than yes’s.” “I try to be straight up,” he explained. “Sometimes it slips through the cracks. Sometimes I want to do it, and my life is in a certain place, and I’m moving and I can’t do it. But I typically try to be straight up with people.”

Elsewhere in his conversation with Hart, Jay-Z discussed whether he’s retired.

“I don’t know what happens next,” he said. “I’m not actively making music or making an album or have plans to make an album, but I never want to say that I’m retired. It’s a gift, so who am I to shut it off? And it may have a different form or interpretation. Maybe it’s not an album, maybe it is. I have no idea, but I’m just going to leave it open.” Check out Jay-Z’s explanation in the tweet up top, and see his full interview on Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart here.
