1516 - List of persons self excluded from gaming activities.
§ 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.
