The new card-blocking feature, which also blocks access to online casinos, slot machines and lottery websites can be put in place following a customer request and stops any payments identified as being made to a gambling operator
Following the introduction of voluntary gambling blocks on debit cards earlier this year, Bank of Ireland are now introducing credit card blocks for people looking to stop transacting with gambling operators.
Problem gambling can affect finances, relationships, and mental health, and practical tools such as gambling blocks help improve the financial wellbeing of their customers. They will continue working with them to help provide more control over their finances.
