Responsible Gaming
Indiana Live! Casino supports and promotes responsible gaming practices.
We abide to a pledge to our employees and our patrons to make responsible
gaming a part of our daily operations.
Is your gambling out of control?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you lose time from work due to gambling?
- Does gambling
make your home life unhappy?
- Does gambling affect your reputation?
- Do you ever feel remorse
after gambling?
- Do you ever gamble to get money with which to
pay debts or to otherwise solve financial difficulties?
- Does
gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
- After
losing, do you feel you must return as soon as possible and win
back your losses?
- After a win, do you have a strong urge to return
and win more?
- Do you often gamble until your last dollar is gone?
- Do you
ever borrow to finance your gambling?
- Do you ever sell anything
to finance gambling?
- Are you reluctant to use "gambling
money" for normal
expenditures?
- Does gambling make you careless about the welfare
of yourself and your family?
- Do you ever gamble to escape worry
or trouble?
- Do you ever commit, or consider committing, an illegal
act to finance your gambling?
- Does gambling cause you to have
difficulty sleeping?
- Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations
create within you an urge to gamble?
- Do you have an urge to
celebrate good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
- Do you ever
consider self-destruction as a result of your gambling?
If you can answer yes to at least seven of these questions, you
may have a gambling problem.
The Voluntary Exclusion Program
You make the decision. You sign up. You stop gambling. We help you.
The Voluntary Exclusion Program (VEP) is designed to help you take
that initial step and gain control of your life. With the VEP, that
single decision, that courageous step you take to quit gambling,
becomes a defining moment where the past is the past and the future
is yours. Addressing a gambling problem, after all, isn't just about
the gambling, it is about taking control of your life.
- Participants in the Voluntary Exclusion Program agree to refrain
from entering any casino gaming area in Indiana.
- Individuals interested
in entering the Voluntary Exclusion Program may do so at any casino
by approaching a uniformed security guard or at the Indiana Gaming
Commission office in Indianapolis.
- A person must complete the request
form of his or her own free will and must not be under the influence
of alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or prescription medication
when the form is completed.
- Information about participants of the Voluntary Exclusion program
is confidential and will be issued only to casinos for the purpose
of enforcement.
- Request forms must be completed in the presence of
an agent of the Indiana Gaming Commission. While every effort will
be made to accommodate interested individuals who approach casino
security officers, it may be necessary to make an appointment.
Information on obtaining an appointment time is available on the
Indiana Gaming Commission Web site www.in.gov/gaming or by calling
the Indiana Gaming Commission at 317-234-3600.
- Participants may elect to self-exclude for one year, five years
or life. Once a time period is selected, it may be increased, but
not decreased. Once the time period chosen has concluded, a participant
may be removed from the list by making a request to the Indiana gaming
Commission.
- VEP participants will be removed from the marketing list of each
casino and will not be eligible for promotions, credit or casino
comps.
- Participants found to be in an Indiana casino will be asked
to leave and could be subject to arrest for trespassing.
- If it is
discovered that a VEP participant has won a jackpot, the jackpot
will be confiscated and submitted to the Indiana Gaming Commission
in the form of a fine.
- Casinos may elect to permanently evict VEP participants from their
properties.
Take back control of your life and beat problem gambling.
The first step is up to you.
Your gambling problem doesn't just stop with you. It can cause a
disastrous ripple effect throughout your family, job and future,
leaving loved ones, friends and bosses confused, hurt and angry.
Left unchecked, the costs to you can be staggering: crushing debt,

point, you are no longer playing a game-but it is playing you.
