A new announcement from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, which regulates gambling, explains how 22 people will no longer be allowed to gamble in the state, as they’ve been placed on various Involuntary Exclusion Lists.
When people are added to these lists, it means they’re no longer allowed to gamble in a casino in the state, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) location.
This expansive ban includes five adults who have been added to the Involuntary Casino Exclusion list for allegedly leaving minors unattended at a casino property while they gambled.
