Carte-Blanche

Existing Scenario

Some people who can’t control their gambling ask their favorite casinos to ban them, so that they can’t return to the venues in a moment of weakness. In many locations, casinos are legally obligated to enforce these bans, and recently, some have turned to facial recognition systems to help them meet this obligation

When a person self-identifies as a problem gambler, they typically fill out a form and submit to having their photo taken by the casino. The casino then instructs its staff and security team to be on the lookout for that person, and if caught in the casino, the problem gambler could be escorted out or even arrested for trespassing.

Problem: Case Study
