Rule 3770:2-8-03 | Responsibilities of voluntarily excluded individuals.
(A) Participants in the Ohio VEP agree to abide by all terms listed in the Ohio VEP application, including refraining from entering an excluded facility or engaging in or attempting to engage in gaming offered by an excluded entity.
(B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of this rule, participants who violate the terms of the Ohio VEP at a video lottery gaming facility or a type C sports gaming facility, agree to surrender to the Ohio lottery commission any money or thing of value the individual has converted or attempted to convert into a wagering instrument and any prize won, claimed, or attempted to be claimed.
(1) Seized assets at a casino facility will be deposited into the state problem gambling and addictions fund
(2) Seized assets at a video lottery terminal facility will be deposited to the Ohio lottery commission for the sole use of problem gambling prevention and treatment.
(3) Seized assets from a type C sports gaming proprietor's system will be deposited to the Ohio lottery commission for the sole use of problem gambling prevention and treatment.
(C) Participants in the Ohio VEP must agree to forfeit all points, complimentaries, or promotional credits earned by the individual on or before the date the individual completed their Ohio VEP application. However, if at the time the individual completed the Ohio VEP application, the individual has placed a wager where the outcome is unknown or undecided; or is owed a cash amount from an excluded entity or facility, the individual still has the right to receive the amount owed, including the amount due as a result of any pending wager winning, being voided, or otherwise being canceled from the entity or facility, even after placement on the voluntary exclusion program. No sports gaming wager that is currently pending at the time of a participant's enrollment in the Ohio VEP may be voided or cancelled by either party solely due to that participant's enrollment. To the extent that promotional credits, complimentaries, or points described above may be redeemed for cash under the entity's or facility's marketing program, the individual is entitled to receive that amount.
(D) A voluntarily excluded individual who violates the terms of the Ohio VEP by entering any of the excluded facilities may be subject to criminal prosecution.
(E) The individual will remain a participant in the Ohio VEP for at least the minimum duration of exclusion selected by the individual before requesting to be removed subject to rule 3770:2-8-05 of the Administrative Code.
(F) An Ohio VEP participant may request to increase the duration of participation in the program at any time.
