The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for facial recognition technology aimed at monitoring compliance with its self-exclusion program. This request invites technology vendors to provide information on potential biometric solutions that could help identify individuals who have voluntarily excluded themselves from gambling activities at OLG-operated venues. Published in early 2026, the RFI reflects OLG’s commitment to responsible gambling by leveraging advanced technology to enforce self-exclusion protocols effectively. The adoption of facial recognition technology is part of OLG’s broader regulatory and compliance efforts intended to enhance player protection and prevent access by self-excluded persons across its facilities in Ontario, Canada. This move underscores the growing use of biometric technology within the gaming industry to support integrity, regulatory compliance, and responsible gambling initiatives.
