Rule 3770:2-8-03 | Responsibilities of voluntarily excluded individuals.
(A) Participants in the Ohio VEP agree to abide by all terms of the program, including refraining from entering all excluded facilities or otherwise participating or attempting to participate in any gambling or wagering activity offered at an excluded facility.
(B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of this rule, a participant who violates the terms of the Ohio VEP at a video lottery facility on a video lottery terminal, or at a type C sports gaming host facility on a type C sports gaming proprietor system agrees to surrender to the Ohio lottery commission any money or thing of value the individual has converted or attempted to convert into a wagering instrument, and any prize won, claimed, or attempted to be claimed, at the excluded facility. Any money surrendered to the Ohio lottery commission will be used for the benefit of problem gambling programs in Ohio. Participants who violate the terms of the Ohio VEP at a casino or sports gaming facility, or on an online sports pool, are subject to rule 3772-12-03 of the Administrative Code.

No sports gaming wager that is currently pending at the time of a participant's enrollment in the Ohio VEP may be voided or canceled by either party solely due to that participant's enrollment. To the extent that points, complimentaries, or promotional credits earned on or before the date an application is completed are redeemable for cash under an excluded facility's marketing program, the individual may claim that amount.
