3772-12-01. Scope and purpose of the Ohio voluntary exclusion program  


Latest version.
  • (A) The purpose of this chapter is to help curtail compulsive and problem gambling in the state of Ohio by combining the voluntary exclusion program operated by the casino control commission, created pursuant to section 3772.03 of the Revised Code, with the voluntary exclusion program operated by the lottery commission, created pursuant to section 3770.03 of the Revised Code. As used in this chapter, the combined voluntary exclusion programs shall be referred to as the "Ohio voluntary exclusion program" or "Ohio VEP." This chapter is to be read in tandem with Chapter 3770:2-8 of the Administrative Code.

    (B) Participants in the Ohio VEP agree to exclude themselves from all casino facilities and all video lottery terminal facilities in the state of Ohio, collectively known as "excluded facilities." Except as described in rule 3772-12-07 of the Administrative Code, no person shall be able to voluntarily exclude themselves from solely either the casino facilities or the video lottery terminal facilities.

    (C) Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit participants in the Ohio VEP from entering an excluded facility for the purpose of carrying out the duties of their employment. Any such individual must submit notification of their employment in accordance with the procedure described on a prescribed form.
