Nebraska launches gambling self-exclusion program
The Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission (NRGC) has officially launched the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NVSEP), which aims to bring higher responsible gaming standards to the state.
Players in Nebraska can now voluntarily choose to exclude themselves from casinos and gambling platforms. Additionally, they can select their desired exclusion period, complete identity verification, and digitally submit all the information through an online platform.
Casey Ricketts, Executive Director of the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission, said:
“The NRGC is excited to join the growing number of regulators coming together to strengthen player protection in the industry as part of the NVSEP platform. We are committed to improving responsible gaming tools and helping individuals and families affected by problem gambling. By participating in idPair’s national program, we are lowering barriers to help and providing support that extends beyond state lines.”
Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of idPair, the organization operating the NVSEP platform, added:
“We thank the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission for their commitment to responsible gaming and for moving swiftly to make NVSEP available to players. Our streamlined launch process is designed so regulators can act efficiently and with confidence, accelerating access to critical player safety tools. We hope Nebraska’s example inspires other jurisdictions to prioritize implementation and expand these protections for more people.”
The program is a big step for Nebraska’s Responsible Gaming framework and will also help strengthen partnerships with other states to increase player protection and reduce harm.
