 achieving the self-exclusion mark
 This month, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) disclosed that more than 20,000 customers had voluntarily asked to be removed from gambling. The results follow this revelation.

 Anyone who signs up for the Casino Self-Exclusion Program will not be able to gamble in any casino or retail sportsbook.  People have the option to self-exclude for a year, five years, or forever.

 Anyone found in violation of their prohibition by entering a gambling establishment may face criminal trespass charges and have any profits from that gambling session seized.

 Launched in 2006, the state's self-exclusion initiative reached its 20,000th participant on June 5.

 Members on the list span the ages of 21 to 102 and include 12,811 men and 7,189 ladies.
