Self-exclusion is sort of a mechanical form of intervention. Some people find it very helpful, other people find it unhelpful. If you were a gambler, and let's say there was a casino within driving distance from you, and you didn't want to be tempted by going to this local casino, you could contact the casino and develop an exclusion, a contract with them. And they would try to keep you out of their casino. It's sort of protecting you against yourself. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

  • Do they really need to charge you if you fail to follow the exclusion? Is this really the better way. How about giving addicts incentives to remain excluded or if they break it, to at least make it known to their loved ones to help and then for professional help to be found for this person at no cost. Isn't this all about people who need a break from losing money?

    Does a corrupt organization make an honest employee corrupt or does an honest employee make the corrupt company more honest?

  • Pennsylvania has an interesting self-exclusion policy. They will let you sign up for self-exclusion at the casino rather than having to go to the gaming control board office, but after your time on self-exclusion is up, you have to make TWO visits to the gaming control board's office, separated by at least a week to remove yourself from self-exclusion.

    NO state has an automatic removal policy. You have to remove yourself from the list. Missouri offers ONLY lifetime self-exclusion.
