"No thank you" to gambling commercials in ROFUS (Licencees only)

31, Jan 2017

Below is a guideline on how licencees should relate to the new "No thank you to gambling commercials" in ROFUS.
From the 13th of December 2016, the DGA provides you with a service that makes it possible for you to avoid sending marketing material to self-excluded persons.
There is no deadline for choosing this service.

Guideline to mass requests in ROFUS ("No thank you to gambling commercials")

Gambling providers may make a service call in ROFUS before sending out marketing material to their customers or distributors. 
When a user says ”No thank you to gambling commercials”, that “no thank you” will apply for all gambling commercials from all licence holders. Therefore, it does not matter if the user has accepted commercials in the settings of the user’s account. If the user chances his /her mind about “No thank you to gambling commercials”, the user can easily change the choice. 
You must only ask in ROFUS on the CPR numbers that belongs to people to whom you have planned to send advertising material.
If ROFUS does not answer, the gambling provider must check if the error is caused by the provider’s own systems. If that is not the case, the DGA asks be notified of this. If the error lies in ROFUS systems (the DGA), the DGA ask for a report regarding the time and date for the error and the error text.

Definition of gambling commercials

By ”gambling commercial” we mean every kind of sales contact via telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, post addresses or other information that the gambling provider has about the costumer. Unaddressed household-distributed advertising and Internet commercials are not included.
