Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law Section 1344
List of persons self-excluded from gaming activities
1.
The commission shall provide by regulation for the establishment of a list of persons self-excluded from gaming activities at all licensed gaming facilities. Any person may request placement on the list of self-excluded persons by acknowledging in a manner to be established by the commission 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 such gaming facilities.2.
The regulations of the commission shall establish procedures for placements on, and removals from, the list of self-excluded persons. Such regulations shall establish procedures for the transmittal to licensed gaming facilities of identifying information concerning self-excluded persons, and shall require licensed gaming facilities 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 credit, complimentaries, check cashing privileges, club programs, and other similar benefits.3.
A licensed gaming facility or employee thereof acting reasonably and in good faith 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:(a)
the failure of a licensed gaming facility to withhold gaming privileges from, or restore gaming privileges to, a self-excluded person; or(b)
otherwise permitting a self-excluded person to engage in gaming activity in such licensed gaming facility while on the list of self-excluded persons.4.
Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the commission’s list of self-excluded persons shall not be open to public inspection. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed to prohibit a gaming facility licensee from disclosing the identity of persons self-excluded pursuant to this section to affiliated gaming entities in this state or other jurisdictions for the limited purpose of assisting in the proper administration of responsible gaming programs operated by such gaming affiliated entities.5.
A licensed gaming facility 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 disclosure or publication in any manner, other than a willfully unlawful disclosure or publication, of the identity of any self-excluded person.
