Pennsylvania Gaming Control Says 20K Self-Exclusion Requests Fulfilled

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) this week announced a celebratory milestone of sorts. That’s when the state regulatory agency said it completed its 20,000th voluntary request to be excluded from entering and participating in legal gaming activities in the commonwealth.

The Casino Self-Exclusion Program, along with the agency’s three other self-exclusion programs, are effective and proven tools that allow for individuals to regain control over their lives and to learn about other recovery resources,” said Elizabeth Lanza, director of the Office of Compulsive and Problem Gambling (OCPG). “The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board encourages anyone who thinks they may have a gambling problem to seek treatment and consider taking advantage of the voluntary self-exclusion programs.”
 
This is worth being celebrated. It is not a gainsaying to note that many people are suffering from betting addiction. This has made self exclusive programs very essential. I am sure they would have recorded more by now.
