LCSD tightens login arrangement of Leisure Link Self-service Kiosks at leisure venues

*************************************************************************************

     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department today (September 14) announced that, with effect from noon on September 28 (Tuesday), the login arrangement of Leisure Link Self-service Kiosks at leisure venues will be tightened in order to strengthen the identity verification of hirers of leisure facilities and prevent people from using the Self-service Kiosks to book facilities on behalf of others. The new measure will help curb suspected touting activities in the booking and use of recreation and sports facilities.

     All hirers including both registered Leisure Link patrons and non Leisure Link patrons must login to the Leisure Link Self-service Kiosk system by scanning the original of their Hong Kong Identity (HKID) card through the kiosk's scanner for making bookings with effect from noon on September 28. Login by inputting the HKID card number or Leisure Link patron number and password into the Self-service Kiosk's touch screen at leisure venues will no longer be accepted.

     Following the implementation of the tightening measures, those without HKID cards can make bookings as usual by either producing their proof of identity at any booking counters (in person), or through the Leisure Link e-Services System after registration as a Leisure Link patron.
