Mandated by the PA Legislature in the PA
Racehorse Development and Gaming Act of
2004
Regulated, administered and maintained by
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
PGCB and from receiving any gaming
privileges that may be a temptation such
as check cashing privileges, player club
membership, complimentary goods and
services, targeted mailings and
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.
Self-Exclusion is a tool to help
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
The person filing the request for Self-Exclusion
may request to be excluded from gaming
activities for one of the following:
One Year
Five Years

Self-exclusions for 1 or 5 years remain in effect

from the list. A person may, upon the conclusion
of the period of self-exclusion, request to be
removed from the list by submitting, in person, a
completed request for removal.

all services associated with those Gaming Facilities.
• I will not attempt to enter and/or use any of the services or privileges of the Gaming
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.
• I understand the ultimate responsibility to limit my access to all Indian Gaming
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
