Illinois Gaming Board Proposes Expanding Self-Exclusion Program to Include Video Gaming Terminals

The Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) has introduced new rules aimed at integrating over 50,000 video gaming terminals (VGTs) into the state's existing self-exclusion program. This initiative allows problem gamblers to ban themselves from VGTs, mirroring current protections for casinos and sportsbooks. The proposed rule also establishes a framework for cashless wagering and responsible gambling limits, marking a significant step in problem gambling prevention for the world's largest video gaming network.
