What it blocks

Covers all Seneca Gaming Corporation properties (Seneca Niagara, Seneca Allegany, Seneca Buffalo Creek). A person on Voluntary Self Exclusion may not enter the premises of any Seneca Gaming Corporation property and is ineligible for promotional offers or comps while active. It is a separate tribal program, not part of the state VSE list: the Seneca page describes its own request and removal process through the Seneca Gaming Authority, and none of the Seneca properties appears on the state form's property list. The document cited from the Seneca compact is only the four-page December 2023 extension agreement, which has no self-exclusion language and cannot show whether the underlying compact has any.

Self-exclusion programs do not all block the same things. Here is what the official rules say about each one.

How to enroll, how long it lasts, and the sources

Terms you can choose

Indefinite until a written removal request is approved by the Seneca Gaming Authority; a one-year minimum applies before removal may be requested. Removal is by written letter (name, date of birth, current mailing address) sent to the Seneca Gaming Authority, Attn: Director of Inspectors, at either the Niagara Falls or Salamanca address -- those addresses are for removal correspondence, not enrollment.

There is only one term: the exclusion continues until the Seneca Gaming Authority approves a written removal request, which can be made after one year.

When it ends

This continues until a removal is granted.

How removal works. The exclusion has no set end date. Removal requires a written letter (name, date of birth, current mailing address) after at least one year, which the Seneca Gaming Authority must approve.

On a lifetime term. Indefinite is the only term offered; removal requires the same approved written request after the one-year minimum.

How to enroll

Write to the Seneca Gaming Authority.

No form is published. You can also inquire in person with security at any Seneca Niagara, Seneca Allegany, or Seneca Buffalo Creek property, who will direct you to an Inspector of the Seneca Gaming Authority. A second mailing address is 777 Seneca Allegany Boulevard, Salamanca, NY 14779.

No downloadable form is published. Start by inquiring in person with security at any Seneca Gaming Corporation property, or by writing a letter to the Seneca Gaming Authority.
What's needed to enroll beyond identifying yourself isn't published; only the separate removal letter's required information (name, date of birth, current mailing address) is documented.
Submit in person — security directs you to an Inspector of the Seneca Gaming Authority — or by mail to Seneca Gaming Authority, Attn: Director of Inspectors, at either the Niagara Falls or Salamanca address.
The exclusion has no set end date. After at least one year, you can request removal in writing (name, date of birth, current mailing address) to the same addresses; removal must be approved by the Seneca Gaming Authority, which confirms it in writing.

Program page

Before you count on it. No downloadable form or online enrollment exists, and what to bring beyond identifying yourself isn't published for enrollment. Removal needs a written letter after a one-year minimum, approved by the Seneca Gaming Authority. Residency, notarization and processing time aren't addressed. This is a Seneca Gaming Corporation policy, not part of the state VSE list. Whether either list honors the other isn't published, so enroll with each separately.
