A "preventive exclusion" means that a person is excluded from participating in certain games of chance, even if no gambling addiction has been identified. This may be due to the nature of their occupation (e.g. court bailiffs) or due to a court decision (e.g. persons placed under temporary administration). In addition, people with a collective debt arrangement are also denied access to a casino (online/offline), slot machine arcade (online/offline) or betting shop (online).
As indicated above, the total number of excluded persons is in reality lower than the number of exclusion cases, because one person can be excluded in several ways. For example, a voluntarily excluded player may also be in a collective debt arrangement at the same time, which brings him into both the "exclusions due to collective debt arrangement" and "voluntary exclusions" categories, which means 2 cases for 1 exclusion.
