The State of Pennsylvania have announced the introduction of a self-exclusion tool, which will enable individuals to exclude themselves from online gambling sites that operate and are licensed within the state.
In a Press Release issued by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board yesterday afternoon, it goes on to state: “Modeled after the successful Self-Exclusion Program that has assisted thousands of persons by allowing them to voluntarily ban themselves from gaming in Pennsylvania’s casinos, the iGaming Self-Exclusion Program will similarly allow individuals to voluntarily choose 1-year, 5-year, or lifetime bans for on-line gambling activities.”
With the Press Release further indicating that: “All Commonwealth on-line gaming sites must refuse wagers and deny gaming privileges to all persons on the iGaming Self-Exclusion list, as well as refuse any player club membership, complimentary goods and services, and other similar privileges; and, ensure that persons on the iGaming Self-Exclusion list do not receive solicitations, targeted mailings, telemarketing promotions, player club materials or other promotional materials relating to iGaming activities.”
