The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) has launched a Self-Exclusion tool for individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from participating in gambling at Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs).

The VGT Self-Exclusion tool allows individuals to voluntarily choose 1-year, 5-year or lifetime bans for gambling activity. VGT operators must refuse wagers and deny gaming privileges to any self-excluded person. They must also ensure that self-excluded persons do not receive targeted mailings or any promotional materials relating to VGT activities.

An individual who has gambled on a VGT while on the self-exclusion list may not get any winnings or recover any losses arising as a result of any gaming activity. Any winnings issued to, found on or about or redeemed by a self-excluded person shall be remitted to the PGCB and are used towards its responsible gambling programmes.
