The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board placed 11 individuals on the Involuntary Interactive Exclusion List for iGaming Fraud during last week’s monthly meeting. While that might be considered a lengthy list, PGCB Director of Communications, Doug Harbach, told PlayPennsylvania on Tuesday that fraud cases have decreased in the state.

As evidence of the 11 placed on the involuntary exclusion list for varying degrees of PA online casino fraud, the PGCB has taken notice and is starting to crackdown on the matter.

Technology has been ever-evolving and the gambling industry is able to take advantage. It’s tough, nowadays, to get away with fraudulent activity, especially online.

Pennsylvania online operators have installed techniques to protect players, as well as detect any fraud taking place.
