The documents govern the disclosure of information related to persons on the casino self-exclusion list, the duties and responsibilities of slot machine licensees, the establishment and maintenance of a casino self-exclusion list, and the process of casino self-exclusion. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is responsible for overseeing these matters. The documents specify that the Board can release demographics and general information about the self-exclusion list, but it is prohibited from disclosing identifying information or confirming/denying the presence of an individual’s name on the list. Slot machine licensees have obligations to train their employees, establish procedures to identify and notify self-excluded persons, refuse wagers and deny gaming privileges to self-excluded individuals, and ensure they do not receive promotional materials related to gaming activities.
