Short Summary
The provided legal document content covers the Ohio voluntary exclusion program (Ohio VEP) and its application process. Participants in the Ohio VEP agree to exclude themselves from all casino facilities, video lottery terminal facilities, and lottery sports gaming offered by type C sports gaming proprietors in Ohio. The program is jointly administered by the Ohio Lottery Commission and the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Participants can choose to be excluded for one year, five years, or for a lifetime. To be removed from the exclusion list, participants must meet certain requirements, such as remaining in the Ohio VEP for at least five years, completing the Ohio VEP education program on problem gambling awareness, and submitting an application for removal. The application can be completed at Ohio casino facilities or video lottery terminal facilities, either in person or through the online Ohio VEP portal. The application must be completed in the presence of a staff member from either commission. Once the request for voluntary exclusion is processed, confirmation of participation will be sent to the applicant. Participants in the Ohio VEP agree to refrain from entering excluded facilities or engaging in any gambling or wagering activities offered at those facilities. Violations of the Ohio VEP result in the surrender of converted money, prizes, or other valuable items obtained at the excluded facility. The surrendered money is used for problem gambling programs in Ohio. Participants who violate the Ohio VEP may face criminal prosecution and may have their points, complimentaries, or promotional credits forfeited. Excluded facilities and entities have responsibilities, such as maintaining a system for indicating whether an individual is in the Ohio VEP, notifying the Ohio lottery commission of any Ohio VEP participant found on the premises, and complying with the Ohio lottery commission’s operating standards. The documents do not mention specific penalties for non-compliance or violations.
