Player Verify unveils 'Self-Exclusion' tool

FRANKLIN, Tennessee -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- When a problem "I gambler" chooses to give up online gaming, it's a tough and emotional decision. Yet quitting I gambling can also be a painstaking process simply because many problem gamblers want and need to disconnect from online gaming sites entirely. But to do so, they have to revisit the countless sites they've used to request self exclusion -- a painstaking process that risks recidivism. But now, with the click of a mouse, it's easy to be disassociated with I-gaming sites, thanks to the breakthrough "Self Exclusion" tool featured on the popular I-gaming hub, Player Verify.

"This new tool is very exciting because it's a powerful solution to an issue that's challenged the online gaming industry for years," says Mark Dalton, Player Verify's member manager. "Clean and simple, our self-exclusion feature makes managing self exclusion not only easier for problem gamblers, but those who oversee the security of online gaming sites as well."

To tap the power of this new self-exclusion tool, online gaming sites need only sign up with Player Verify. They'll then have access to a search function that allows them to check their players against Player Verify's self-exclusion database. Since gaming authorities worldwide require gaming sites to offer some sort of self-exclusion option, this innovative solution provides a way to do just that, plus it enables a more unified system for self-exclusion practices throughout the entire industry.

"Of course, the more gaming sites we get on board and signed up to use Player Verify's new Self Exclusion tool, the more effective it will be," Dalton says. "This new solution is rooted in our responsibility to help problem gamblers, so I encourage gaming sites everywhere to become part of that solution by signing on now and linking to Player Verify today."

Of note, the self-exclusion feature is not limited to I-gaming sites. Land-based casinos, lotteries and racing events can promote Player Verify's tool to its customers and use its database as well.
