Japan Racing Association (JRA) is unveiling this week a new mechanism that will allow families of problem gamblers to block their kin from online horse betting.

The new system corresponds to the Japanese government’s appeal to operators of horse racing, cycle racing and pachinko to limit the access of problem gamblers, the Japan Times reported.

On Thursday, the horse racing group has announced that they will start accepting gambling prevention applications from families living with problem gamblers.

Aside from allowing families to bar their kin from gambling, JRA also implemented a system for problem gamblers who wanted to exclude themselves from the games.
