Excluding yourself from a casino...?

Question

I heard that in Germany, there is a way to exclude yourself from being admitted into a casino. For example, if you sign this certain contract, you will not be allowed into the casino.

I know someone with a huge gambling problem, and is betting lots of money...

I need to find a way to stop him...

Please tell me what that is called, and if there such thing as that in California.

Answer 1

I have a friend who has done that in the states.  You go into the casino and ask for the manager and tell them that you want to sign yourself out.  They give you papers to sign saying you are voluntary suspending your privileges at that casino.  You agree that if you do attempt to get back in that you would be considered a trespasser and would be arrested.

Best of luck to your friend.

Answer 2

While you CAN do this by speaking to the management of any DECENT gambling operation, if you have a true problem gambler, he will always find a place to place a bet, be it with a street bookie or online, there is no bullet-proof way to stop betting without the person actually having the will to stop.
