Frequently Asked Questions about Self-Exclusion
What are the term limits? The minimum amount of time you can exclude is 3 years. You can choose longer periods but cannot choose a lifetime until you have completed at least 3 years.
How do I remove myself from the list? At the end of your term, you are automatically flagged as expired in the database. There is nothing to do on your part. If you would like to extend your term simply log back in with your email address and complete the form. Please note the casinos can take up to 10 days to remove you from their system as self-excluded.
Can I enroll someone other than myself in the self-exclusion program? A person cannot enroll another person in the program. Self-Exclusion is entirely voluntary and must be completed by the person seeking exclusion.
What happens if I violate my agreement not to enter licensed casinos? You will be immediately ejected from the premises and at the casino’s discretion may be arrested and prosecuted for criminal trespass.
How long before it goes into effect? Your agreement begins once you have received an email confirmation your form was approved. The self-exclusion typically takes effect within three business days, which are used to process your enrollment form, update the self-exclusion information provided securely to licensed operators, and allow operators to enforce the program.
Am I allowed to play the lottery if I am voluntarily self-excluded? Enrollment in the MGC self-exclusion program does not prohibit you from playing the MS lottery.
Can I work in a casino if I am self-excluded? If you self-exclude while you are employed at a casino the casino will be notified of your self-exclusion status. You can continue to work but must adhere to the guidelines established by the casino for excluded employees. You will not be allowed to loiter while not on duty etc. The same applies if you accept employment with a casino after you self-exclude.
