Protecting minors from exposure to gambling is a shared responsibility. If you live with children or teenagers, it's essential to take proactive steps to prevent them from accessing gambling content, including through shared devices.
The following guidelines will help you secure your devices and accounts, and use appropriate parental control tools to limit access.
Practical Steps to Prevent Minors from Accessing Gambling Content
1. Secure All Devices with Passwords or Face ID
-
Enable passcodes or biometric authentication (Face ID or fingerprint) on smartphones and tablets.

On desktop computers or laptops, set up user account passwords so that only authorized users can log in.
Tip: Creating separate user accounts for children with limited access rights can help reduce risks.
