Casinos and betting shops are prime targets for criminal activity, from fraud and theft to anti-social behaviour and disputes. Ensuring these establishments are secure is not only essential for protecting customers and staff but also for maintaining a reputable business. That’s where we come in. At Carter Security, we provide specialist security services tailored to the unique risks of the gaming industry, helping to safeguard both assets and compliance.
The Unique Security Challenges of Casinos and Betting Shops
Casinos and betting shops handle significant sums of money daily, making them attractive to criminals looking for opportunities to commit fraud or theft. Common risks include:
• Fraudulent activity: From counterfeit money to cheating at games, fraud is a persistent issue.
• Theft and robbery: Cash-heavy environments are naturally more vulnerable to theft.
• Disputes and anti-social behaviour: Gambling can lead to heightened emotions, sometimes resulting in altercations.
• Underage gambling and regulatory compliance: Licensed venues must adhere to strict rules regarding age verification and responsible gaming.
