NVSEP Begins Free Self-Exclusion Assistance in Four US States

idPair, Inc., an award-winning provider of safer gambling technology, has announced the launch of free self-exclusion assistance in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, and Tennessee. This initiative is part of the first phase of the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NVSEP) and will commence in August. The NVSEP aims to provide a streamlined and cost-free option for individuals seeking to self-exclude from gambling activities across multiple states.

Streamlined Self-Exclusion Process

In states requiring notarized forms, NVSEP will offer a free remote online notary service, eliminating any associated costs for individuals. The program will not alter the existing state programs or the way operators receive and process self-exclusion information. This ensures that the implementation of NVSEP will be seamless and integrated with current procedures.

Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of idPair, emphasized the program’s significance: “For the first time ever, individuals seeking a wider level of protection can self-exclude from multiple states in a streamlined fashion. 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.”

Coverage and Future Expansion

The self-exclusion options vary by state and include casinos, online sports betting, online casino, online poker, fantasy sports, and horseracing. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit www.NVSEP.com/jurisdictions for detailed information on the ed options in each state.

NVSEP plans to further integrate with Player Management (PAM) systems of gambling operators in future phases. This integration will potentially enable real-time processing of voluntary self-exclusions, offering immediate protection and greatly improving the efficiency of current self-exclusion programs.

Broader Responsible Gambling Efforts

The initial rollout of NVSEP’s free self-exclusion assistance in Tennessee marks a significant step towards expanding responsible gambling measures nationwide. This initiative reflects idPair’s commitment to enhancing consumer protection and promoting safer gambling practices.
