Short Summary
The first legal document governs the procedures and requirements for the forfeiture of winnings by self-excluded individuals in sports betting and casino gaming establishments. It applies to sports betting permit holders, casino gaming establishments, and self-excluded individuals. The document outlines the actions that permit holders or establishments must take when a self-excluded individual is detected or reported to be engaging in gaming activity, including verifying their self-excluded status, prohibiting access to their account, returning the balance accrued prior to the exclusion request, and seizing any winnings that accrue after the exclusion request. The document also specifies the rights of the self-excluded individual, including the right to be heard about the forfeiture. Failure to respond to a forfeiture notice results in a waiver of this right. The document further outlines the procedures for processing and reporting the seized winnings, as well as the department’s authority to initiate forfeiture and the self-excluded individual’s right to contest it. Non-compliance with the document may result in the forfeiture of winnings and their transmission to the Commonwealth’s Problem Gambling Treatment and Support Fund. The second legal document outlines the process and requirements for individuals to request placement on the self-exclusion list for legalized gaming in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Individuals can submit a request for self-exclusion either online or in person, and the request form must include identifying information such as name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and social security number. Valid identification credentials with a signature and photograph must also be provided. The length of self-exclusion can be chosen as two years, five years, or lifetime. By submitting the request, individuals acknowledge that they will be prohibited from participating in any form of legalized gaming in Virginia and from collecting any winnings or recovering any losses resulting from violation of the self-exclusion restrictions. The document also mentions that the Department of Virginia Lottery Board will coordinate the administration of the self-exclusion program with other relevant entities and share the self-exclusion list with operators of legal gambling in the Commonwealth. Individuals on the self-exclusion list are required to notify the department of any changes in their contact information. The document includes a waiver and release clause that releases the Commonwealth of Virginia, the department, and other entities from liability related to the self-exclusion request. The third legal document outlines the duties and responsibilities of sports betting permit holders and casino gaming establishments in Virginia. The document covers various aspects, including preventing individuals on the self-exclusion list from opening new sports betting or casino gaming accounts, identifying and suspending accounts of self-excluded individuals, refunding remaining balances to self-excluded individuals, ensuring that self-excluded individuals do not receive targeted promotional materials, and enforcing the provisions of this chapter. The document also requires compliance with relevant provisions upon notification of changes to the self-exclusion list. Sports betting permit holders are required to maintain current copies of their internal control standards procedures, while casino gaming establishments are required to maintain current copies of their internal control standards procedures. The fourth legal document pertains to the Self-Exclusion Program governed by the Virginia Administrative Code. The Department of Virginia Lottery Board is responsible for maintaining the official self-exclusion list and notifying relevant entities about additions or deletions from the list. Each party mentioned in the document must maintain its own copy of the self-exclusion list and ensure it is kept up to date. The document specifies that changes to the list must be made within seven days of receiving the notice, and any remaining balance in the individual’s gaming account should be refunded. The document emphasizes the confidentiality of information obtained or furnished to the department and restricts the disclosure of excluded individuals’ names and information, except in specific circumstances. The document also allows disclosure to registered, licensed, or permitted third parties for the purpose of excluding names or addresses from marketing campaigns on behalf of sports betting permit holders or casino gaming establishments, with strict requirements to ensure the self-exclusion list remains confidential and is not disclosed further.
