An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in administration and enforcement, further providing for list of persons self excluded from gaming activities and for prohibited acts and penalties.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's gaming laws to strengthen protections for individuals who voluntarily exclude themselves from gambling activities. It requires licensed casinos and gaming operators to immediately remove self-excluded persons from all marketing lists and prohibits them from receiving any advertisements, promotions, or credits. The legislation also mandates that these entities deny access to complimentary services, cash-cashing privileges, and credit lines for anyone on the exclusion list. To enforce these rules, the bill establishes new criminal penalties, including significant fines and potential jail time, for operators who fail to maintain accurate exclusion lists or contact prohibited individuals.
