Gambling self-exclusion in Wisconsin

Before you count on it. The form names 'HCG-Wisconsin Gaming Enterprises' and does not list properties. Ho-Chunk's pages say the program covers 'any Ho-Chunk Gaming facility' and its home page lists seven locations, so ask the Security Director which locations your signed form covers. The form says the exclusion is permanent and irrevocable and describes no removal process. Ho-Chunk's own location pages say the program lasts 'a minimum of 12 months'. Nothing published says which is right, and nothing published describes an appeal. The form does address money and marketing. If you are caught playing, 'any winnings or prizes, including but not limited to jackpots, chips, tokens, machine credits, or ticket vouchers' are confiscated. You waive complimentary products and player-reward benefits you have earned. Ho-Chunk 'will take reasonable steps to remove my name from mailing lists and other means of marketing', and you agree to tell the marketing department if promotions keep coming. It does not address whether residents or visitors qualify, or what happens to credit or check-cashing privileges. It carries no notary block and does not say whether one is needed. No processing time or confirmation method is published. This is a Ho-Chunk Nation program — Wisconsin runs no statewide list, and this does not reach Potawatomi, Oneida, or any of the state's other gaming tribes.

Before you count on it. You have to do this in person: the page says 'self-restriction must be completed in person', so the Ban Inquiry Line at 414-847-7608 is a contact point and not a way to enroll, and a call is not a reason to treat yourself as restricted. What the enrollment requires of you and what confirms it are both unpublished — no processing time and no confirmation method are described — so ask staff what the NVSEP screen needs, and write down the date you finish. Removal is not automatic: the restriction renews each year until a written request is reviewed and approved by committee, and the page does not say where that request is sent. If you play anyway, jackpots and prizes are forfeited and donated to a charity management picks. Your Potawatomi Rewards card is deactivated and your address comes off their mailing lists. Whether residents or visitors qualify, how entry is enforced, and what happens to credit or check-cashing are not addressed. This covers Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee only. Wisconsin runs no statewide list, and this does not reach Ho-Chunk, Oneida, or any of the state's other gaming tribes.
