The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has adopted PlayPause, a self-exclusion tool for internet gambling.
It is the first deployment of PlayPause in the US with the solution being made available at no cost to operators and regulators through Conscious Gaming, a new non-profit organisation established by GeoComply.
It enables regulators and operators in one state to securely identify self-excluded patrons who chose to participate in the programme with other participating US licensed gaming operators and regulators.
Elizabeth Lanza, director of the Office of Compulsive and Problem Gambling for the Pennsylvania Board, said: “We are pleased to be the first state to join the programme. By integrating with this solution the industry and regulators can increase well-being efforts and advance the effectiveness of self-exclusion.”
