THE OHIO VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION PROGRAM

The Ohio Casino Control and the Ohio Lottery Commission jointly administer this program. This program offers individuals the ability to ban themselves from casino and racino properties for one year, five years or their lifetime. Once the request is validated, you are not permitted access to any Ohio casino or racino property during the length of the self-imposed ban. This ban may include affiliated properties outside of Ohio.
