Legal Research Home > Pennsylvania Statutes

     § 1516.  List of persons self excluded from gaming activities.
        (a)  General rule.--The board shall provide by regulation for
     the establishment of a list of persons self excluded from gaming
     activities at all licensed facilities. Any person may request
     placement on the list of self-excluded persons by acknowledging
     in a manner to be established by the board that the person is a
     problem gambler and by agreeing that, during any period of
     voluntary exclusion, the person may not collect any winnings or
     recover any losses resulting from any gaming activity at
     licensed facilities.
        (b)  Regulations.--The regulations of the board shall
     establish procedures for placements on and removals from the
     list of self-excluded persons. The regulations shall establish
     procedures for the transmittal to licensed gaming entities of
     identifying information concerning self-excluded persons and
     shall require licensed gaming entities to establish procedures
     designed at a minimum to remove self-excluded persons from
     targeted mailings or other forms of advertising or promotions
     and deny self-excluded persons access to complimentaries, check
     cashing privileges, club programs and other similar benefits.
        (c)  Liability.--A licensed gaming entity or employee thereof
     shall not be liable to any self-excluded person or to any other
     party in any judicial proceeding for any harm, monetary or
     otherwise, which may arise as a result of:
            (1)  the failure of a licensed gaming entity to withhold
        gaming privileges from or restore gaming privileges to a
        self-excluded person; or
            (2)  otherwise permitting or not permitting a self-
        excluded person to engage in gaming activity in the facility
        while on the list of self-excluded persons.
        (d)  Disclosure.--Notwithstanding any other law to the
     contrary, the board's list of self-excluded persons shall not be
     open to public inspection. Nothing in this section, however,
     shall be construed to prohibit a licensed gaming entity from
     disclosing the identity of persons self excluded pursuant to
     this section to affiliated gaming entities in this Commonwealth
     or other jurisdictions for the limited purpose of assisting in
     the proper administration of responsible gaming programs
     operated by affiliated licensed gaming entities.
