1. The first Illinois casino opened in 1991, and the casino self-exclusion list was formed 11 years later after addiction concerns began to rise across the state. But many hope something happens sooner.
2. For a list of the Illinois Department of Human Services Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse-designated gambling treatment providers, click here and scroll to the section titled 'DHS Designated Gambling Treatment Providers.” Those marked with an “.” also participate in the Illinois Gaming Board's Self-Exclusion Program.
3. Illinois legislators could require the board to implement a self-exclusion list — and provide funding to study the issue — but have made no move to do so. Gamblers on the casino self-exclusion lists and clinicians said the lack of one for video gambling has added obstacles to their recovery.

Here is the scenario:

The new gambling bill calls for the creation of a self-exclusion list for sports bettors, too. But there still is no self-exclusion list for people who bet at the state's 7,000-plus locations of. Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program. The Illinois Gaming Board administers a regulatory and tax collection system for casino gambling, video gaming, and sports.

-a person self excluded themselves from a casino
-the person goes and gambles at the casino he/she self-excluded themself from
-after gambling for a while, the person is identifed by casino personnel
-at the time the peson is identified, the person up $1500
What are the consequences for the self-excluded player? Can the person be arrested? Does the person have to give back their winnings? etc etc

Self excluding yourself is not a joke and
is taken seriously by the casino. They want
to avoid a lawsuit and you will escorted off
the property, or in some cases the police
are called. As far as the money goes, should
the casino pay it back if the guy lost $1500?

Hi Fleas, i read a story about this a few days ago, similar to the one at http://calvinayre.com/2011/11/28/casino/self-excluded-winnings-seized/ . (Couldn't find the original source.)
It's not often clear when dealing with casinos, of which is the case. More or less, one has to be first-hand involved in some way to know for sure of any of the settlement(s). I could only speculate on this one; and the reason i didn't completely read the longer version which i can't find now. In general, casinos do often 'shell out' tens of thousands of dollars in such civil suits. Eg, i personally know of a waitress being improperly fired for complaining of minor back-problems who won a couple of hundred thousands after her union became involved.
In my opinion, such confusion stems from the casino-industry's 'argument' that no one has to gamble. And their ignorance of the fact that then no one has to really provide either for such occasion to gamble. Hence, the 'strange hoops' every one involved ends up 'jumping through' at some time, or another.

Why bet at all, if you can be sure? Anyway, what constitutes a 'good bet'? - The best slots-game in town; a sucker's edge; or some gray-area blackjack-stunts? (P.S. God doesn't even have to exist to be God.)

I think the linked article answers the question.

Illinois Gambling Self-exclusion List 2020

Individuals who have placed themselves on the list have signed an agreement that all winnings are subject to forfeiture.

They also state that this is necessary to take away the incentive to want to keep gambling. Makes sense to me. We'll do our best to keep you out of our casino, but if you still make it in, and win anything, we're not going to let you keep it.

They're screwed. Whether they're 86'd as a result of a bar fight or voluntarily exclude themselves, it amounts to the same. Only difference is the voluntary has an easier time rescinding the exclusion.
I've seen several cases of this, and every time it's the same thing. They exclude themselves, then show up some time later and make it onto the floor (not incredibly difficult as security can't remember every face). But we flag their players card, so as soon as it goes it, we get a notification. Just a few months back we had a guy make it in but wasn't using his card. He was getting away with it, until he hit a $8,000 j/p. Once his ID was obtained, he was reminded of his exclusion, his j/p was voided, and he was issued an appearance ticket for trespass.

If he was up they should have just waited a while to walk him out of the casino!

Gambling is a metaphor for life. Hang around long enough and it's all gone.

Really? Wow, seems like that isn't the right thing to do, might scare off people thinking of taking a break.

I guess now would be a good time to remind that I'm tribal, and don't necessarily speak for the entire industry.
