PA Gaming Control Board

Mandated by the PA Legislature in the PA

the PGCB’s Office of Compulsive and Problem

Gambling.

A voluntary program to assist problem

gamblers to be excluded from

participating in legalized gaming

activities under the jurisdiction of the

promotional materials related to gaming

activities.

Self-Exclusion only applies to the

gaming floor of gaming facilities in

Pennsylvania.

However a casino licensee may ban self-

excluded persons from their entire

property and/or their properties in

other jurisdictions.

problem gamblers distance

themselves from the temptation

of gambling. This program is

also used as a gateway to

treatment.

Is:

A forum for the problem

gambler to accept

personal responsibility

for the problem

A method to provide the

problem gambler with

some isolation from the

temptations of gambling

A deterrent to

destructive behavior

Is NOT:

A cure-all

A substitute for

treatment

A program for someone

who occasionally gambles

irresponsibly but is not a

chronic or pathological

gambler

may request to be excluded from gaming

activities for one of the following:

Arizona Department of Gaming to place my name on the list of self-excluded persons for a period of

one year_____, five years_____, or ten years_____. (Initial the specific time period you are selecting.)


Although the self-exclusion list is provided only to Arizona casinos, there may be casino

all services associated with those Gaming Facilities.

Facilities from which I have requested exclusion during the period of this self-exclusion.

• I understand that the Tribal Gaming Office shall require the Gaming Facility Operator

to take reasonable steps to identify self-excluded persons who may be in a Gaming

Facility and, once identified, promptly escort the self-excluded person from the Gaming

Facility.

Facilities within the State of Arizona and/or gaming services remains mine alone.

• This self-exclusion request is irrevocable during the time period indicated above.

• The Arizona Department of Gaming will treat this self-exclusion request

confidentially. However, pursuant to Section 3(v)(D) of the Compact, the State Gaming

Agency shall, on a monthly basis, provide the compiled information to the Tribal

Gaming Office. The Tribe shall treat the information received from the State Gaming

Agency under this Section as confidential and such information shall not be disclosed
