Nationwide Self-Exclusion Program Set to Launch in the US

The NVSEP aims to offer gamblers a unified and intuitive platform for self-exclusion, addressing the mobility of players across different states.

Core Principles of the NVSEP

The NVSEP is designed around two foundational concepts. The first is to provide individuals with seamless access to self-exclusion services regardless of their location.

The second is the integration of various regulatory data sets into a single portal that offers not only regulatory information but also resources for safer gambling practices.

In its commitment to creating a more effective framework for gambling self-exclusion, idPair has called on gambling regulators nationwide to participate in the NVSEP.

This new program allows for the integration of existing state-specific self-exclusion programs into a broader, more accessible network.

Interested regulatory bodies are encouraged to reach out to idPair for details on how their programs can be included in the NVSEP, ensuring a broader protective net for consumers.

Upcoming Discussions and Endorsements

The NVSEP will be a major topic at several industry events, including the East Coast Gaming Congress in Atlantic City on April 18, where it will be discussed in detail.

The program has already garnered support from notable figures in the gambling regulation and public health sectors. Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of idPair, emphasized that the NVSEP allows for the coexistence of state-specific self-exclusion terms within its framework, enhancing flexibility for users to choose their exclusion settings.

Marlene Warner, CEO of the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, praised the initiative as a long-needed solution. Dr. Michelle Malkin, director of the Gambling Research and Policy Initiative at East Carolina University, also supported the program, noting its potential to simplify the process for customers wishing to self-exclude across multiple jurisdictions.
