Casino self-exclusion  !!!

 New Jersey lets people bar themselves from gambling at Atlantic City's casinos. By putting their names on an exclusion list, people can designate whether they want the ban to be for one year, five years or for life.

But to do so, people must attest that they have a gambling problem.

Now the state Legislature is considering a measure that would change that. A bill (A2444) passed by the Assembly Tourism and Gaming Committee recently would allow people to join an exclusion list without admitting they are compulsive gamblers.
 
 
MY THOUGHTS ON SELF EXCLUSION — BY ARNIE WEXLER CCGC
The idea when it started was not a bad idea but we have learned a lot over the years.

First no addicted gambler ever gets cured so to have self exclusion as 1 year 5 years and lifetime is a joke in it self. It tells you that the people who set that up do not understand this addiction in the 1st place. No addicted gambler will be able in the long run after on the exclusion list for a year or 5 years will go back to gambling and not fall back into the addiction over time.Many people on the exclusion list are gambling right now in casinos.

IF SOMEONE GOES ON AN EXCLUSION LIST AND THEN LETS SAY GETS OFF AFTER 1, 2 ,OR 5 YEARS AND THEN A CASINO LETS THEM GAMBLE IN THERE CASINO THE CASINO IS TAKING A REAL GAMBLE AS THE PLAYER DOWN THE ROAD LOOSES MORE $ AND THEN MIGHT SUE THE CASINO SAYING" THEY KNEW I HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM AND THEY LET ME PLAY ANYWAY"

p.s. I am the 1st person ever to sign up for the  N J exclusion list

  I hear from  people who on the exclusion lists  "I am on the exclusion list but keep going to gamble i cant stop"

 

I have a lady i talk to all the time the last 10 years shes been in and out of recovery

got on the exclusion list in N J in 1994 about 6 years ago so stared to gamble in PENN 3 years ago got on the PENN exclusion list last year she won a jackpot and wanted to collect the $ they saw she was on the exclusion list so she ran into the bathroom took off her wig and ran out of the casino got arrested in the parking lot. So now shes gambling again in ATLANTIC CITY.

 

Had a man i was helping from the south he put himself on the exclusion list in MISS.

One day i get a call from LARRY GREGORY chairperson of Miss.Gam. Comm. he tells me the guy won a jackpot and the guy told larry to call me i asked larry to take some of the $ and send the guy to treatment he does that. And larry sent the rest of the $ to a foundation Sheila and i have to help gambers. I called larry to thank him he tells me the guy out of treatment 1 week was back in a casino in MISS. won another jackpot.

And could not collect the $ again

(THIS SURE TELLS YOU ITS NOT ABOUT THE $ ITS ABOUT THE ADDICTION TO THE ACTION)

P.S. Larry ended up putting this man on the MISS. STATE EXCLUSION LIST to keep him out of the casinos.
