    (B) Participants in the Ohio VEP who violate the terms of the VEP at a casino facility shall agree to surrender to the casino control commission any money or thing of value the individual has converted or attempted to convert into a wagering instrument for deposit in the state problem gambling and addictions fund.

    (C) Participants in the Ohio VEP shall agree to forfeit all points or complimentaries earned by the individual on or before the date the individual completed their application for the Ohio voluntary exclusion program. However, if at the time the individual completed the application, the individual is owed a cash amount from an excluded facility, the individual still has the right to receive that amount from the facility, even after placement on the voluntary exclusion program. To the extent that complimentaries or points described above may be redeemed for cash under the facility's marketing program, the individual is entitled to receive that amount.

    (F) An Ohio VEP participant may always request to increase their length of exclusion.
