3772-12-02. Application for Ohio voluntary exclusion  


Latest version.
  • (A) An application to participate in the Ohio VEP is available for completion at all Ohio casino facilities and video lottery terminal facilities. If an individual is unable to appear in person at any of these facilities to complete an application, the individual may contact staff from the lottery commission or the casino control commission during regular business hours to make alternative arrangements to complete the application.

    (B) All applications to join the Ohio VEP must be completed in the presence of either commission's staff on a prescribed form. No application will be accepted if it was not completed in the presence of either commission's staff.

    (C) As part of the request for voluntary exclusion, the individual must select the duration of their participation in the Ohio VEP. An individual may select any of the following time periods as a length of exclusion:

    (1) A minimum of one year;

    (2) A minimum of five years; or

    (3) Lifetime, subject to paragraph (D) of rule 3772-12-05 of the Administrative Code.

    (D) After receipt of a completed and unaltered application for the Ohio voluntary exclusion program, either commission's staff shall ensure the individual is:

    (1) Voluntarily applying for exclusion;

    (2) Fully informed of the consequences of participation in the Ohio VEP; and

    (3) Able to confirm the information provided in the application.

    (E) If, at any time while an individual is completing an application to join the Ohio VEP, they appear to be doing so involuntarily or while impaired, their application shall be rejected.

    (F) After an individual's request for voluntary exclusion has been processed, delivery of written confirmation of their participation in the Ohio VEP will be attempted in the manner they requested on their application. Failure of delivery of the notification does not negate the individual's participation in the Ohio VEP.
