What is self-exclusion?
Self-exclusion or banned lists describes a popular program type in which problem gamblers self-select to disallow themselves from casinos by adding themselves to self-exclusion lists. It is typically enforced either at the casino entrance by ID scanning or facial recognition software, or at the cage, by not allowing self-excluded individuals to collect any winnings.
Self-exclusion lists are typically confidential and distributed directly to casinos via the state’s gaming board. Some casinos or tribes also maintain their own self-exclusion lists.
What is involuntary exclusion or a banned list?
