(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is not moving forward in a change that would simplify the process of problem bettors coming back to casinos. The board made the announcement at a meeting on December 18th, 2024. Self-excluding is a process in which people can remove themselves from casinos. Therefore, after the period in which self-exclusion expires, people need to take themselves off the ban list. If this change had taken place, this removal would have been across all bans of gambling in Pennsylvania.
