People with financial or legal ties could seek gambling exclusions

The Racing Commission and gaming division would require people seeking removal from exclusion lists to review educational and counseling videos. This applies to people seeking removal from casino, simulcasting, racetrack, off-track, and wagering account exclusion lists. Videos would cover gambling risks, coping strategies, and sources of continued support. Regulators may choose other content as well. The video review would be required before a person is removed from an exclusion list.

The Racing Commission or gaming division would accept a third party’s petition to exclude another person from gambling. Petitions could seek to bar entry to casinos, simulcasting facilities, racetracks, and off-track wagering, or use of account, exchange, and fixed-odds wagering systems. A petition must show at least one listed financial or legal connection, such as responsibility for gambling funds, a shared credit or debit card obligation, legal dependency, or a qualifying court order. Regulators may request more documents. The person must receive notice and may demand a hearing; the third party must prove the case. Regulators may place the person on the list while a hearing is pending. The named person would have 30 days after notice to demand a hearing. If regulators make a preliminary placement, they generally must start the full hearing within 30 days after the later of the hearing request or placement.
