Relates to self-exclusion provisions
This bill strengthens self-exclusion rules for gambling by clarifying that individuals on exclusion lists cannot collect winnings or recover losses from prohibited gaming activities. It establishes a seven-day waiting period before a person can cancel their voluntary self-exclusion request, though they may choose to waive this right. Additionally, the law mandates that any money or value obtained by excluded individuals through gambling be subject to forfeiture after a hearing, with the funds directed to specific state gaming accounts based on the type of wagering involved. The legislation also allows regulators to impose a fine equal to double the amount of money obtained from a self-excluded person if a gambling operator willfully violates these rules.
