Pennsylvania Senator Wayne Fontana is heavily advocating for player safety. He recently introduced a bill that would prohibit gambling companies from directly advertising to people who placed themselves on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board‘s self-exclusion list.
The PGCB told PlayPennsylvania on Monday that there are 19,678 self-excluded individuals through June 10.
Back in April, Fontana gave players another layer of protection by sponsoring a bill that bans players from depositing money into a gambling account with a credit card.
Both pieces of legislation proves that Fontana is looking out for the best interest of players and is making responsible gambling in Pennsylvania a top priority.
