Pennsylvania regulators oppose proposal to automatically stop casino self-exclusion

Pennsylvania regulators voted down a proposal that would have made it easier for self-excluded gamblers to return to state casinos, citing relapse concerns. The proposed legislation would have changed the state's self-exclusion removal process for land-based casinos to make it more consistent with other types of gambling, such as online gaming, fantasy sports betting, and retail video gaming terminals. Currently, self-imposed bans for players in the latter categories automatically end after a specific time period.
