MORRISTOWN, NJ – IDPair has announced the upcoming launch of free self-exclusion assistance in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, and Tennessee this August, as part of the first phase of the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NVSEP). Where states require a notarized form, a free remote online notary will be provided through the NVSEP platform to remove any cost for individuals. There will be no changes to the respective state programs or how operators receive and process the self-exclusion information as part of this initiative.
Depending on the state, self-exclusion options will be available for casinos, online sports betting, online casino, online poker, fantasy sports, and/or horseracing.
“For the first time ever, individuals seeking a wider level of protection can self-exclude from multiple states in a streamlined fashion,” said Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of IDPair. “While today we announce our ability to provide free assistance with self-exclusion in each of these four states, more jurisdictions are on the way, as we accelerate toward our goal of removing barriers for people seeking protection across all gambling jurisdictions and products.”
With future phases of NVSEP planning a deeper level of integration and potential to directly connect with the Player Account Management (PAM) systems of gambling operators, gambling regulators can one day ensure that voluntary self-exclusions are instantaneously processed, providing immediate protection for those who opt in to the program, a major leap in efficiency to the current processing times in some existing programs.
NVSEP’s announcement is the first step in a broader effort to expand responsible gambling measures nationwide. Each jurisdiction has its own unique gambling landscape, and individuals seeking to self-exclude can visit www.NVSEP.com/jurisdictions.
