The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has levied a fine of total $70,000 on two video gaming terminal (VGT) operators and added 17 individuals to the state’s gambling exclusion lists.

The fines were split across two licencees, with TA Operating fined $37,500 and Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores levied $32,500 for failing to ensure a board-credentialed employee was present in the VGT room at their respective Harrisburg and Carlisle locations.

This is in direct violation of state regulations that require VGT establishments to must have at least one board credentialed employee to supervise the terminals in the presence of patrons.

Keeping minors safe

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has added 17 people to its involuntary exclusion lists for various offences. Of this, five were placed in the list for leaving minors unattended while they gambled at the Live! Casino and Hotel Philadelphia, Hollywood Casino Morgantown, Rivers Casino Philadelphia, and Mount Airy Casino Resort, respectively.

The regulator reiterated that adults are strictly prohibited from leaving minors unattended in a car park, hotel or other venues at a 바카라. Those who do not comply are subject to criminal prosecution in addition to exclusion from Pennsylvania 바카라s.

The PGCB regularly underscores the gravity of these actions, reminding the public that leaving minors unsupervised in any 바카라 venue can create unsafe conditions. 

iGaming fraud

Eight of the total offenders were added to the iGaming involuntary exclusion list because their presence in land-based venues would be detrimental to the interests of the state and licenced gaming. The rest were added for committing iGaming fraud.

One of the four individuals used an online gaming account to illegally request and receive chargebacks totalling $3,250 on a credit card. Whereas two collaborated to create five separate online gaming accounts using the personal information of other individuals. Lastly, one of them used an online gaming account to receive credit card chargebacks totalling $5,800.

The regulator confirmed that a total of 51 individuals are now on the iGaming involuntary exclusion list after the latest additions, with 1,247 people on the 바카라 involuntary exclusion list.
