The NYS Responsible Play Partnership (RPP) introduced a fresh initiative, VSE, to aid those in need with withdrawal from gaming. The Voluntary Self-Exclusion Support Program’s possibilities are available to everyone for free.
Key Information About the Social Campaign
The RPP was formed by the state’s 3 reputable organisations:
- OASAS;
- the NYCPG;
- the NYS Gaming Commission.
Now, all these associations will provide strong support for VSE. With their assistance, people who experience signs of developing addiction will be able to self-withdraw from all wagering activities regulated in the state. This involves exclusion from both casino entertainment and sports bets, digital platforms and offline establishments.
To join the program, players need to contact the NYCPG. The applicant will be assigned a personal manager who will tell about the further procedures in detail.
The team member will also help with the following:
- filling out all the obligatory forms;
- adding documentation to the NY self-exclusion list;
- finding counsellors, as well as rehabilitation and support experts;
- connecting with organisations specialising in wagering issues treatment, etc.
The urgent need for the campaign became obvious in 2020 after an OASAS-conducted survey. The research revealed that 4.4% of adult people in the state were at risk of developing ludomania or other gaming issues. Another 0.7% already had gambling disorders.
Comments of the VSE Campaign’s Organisers
The NYCPG’s executive highlighted that assisting people who need aid with wagering problems is the main task of the Council. In James Maney's opinion, the launch of the VSE initiative contributes to pure caring and concern about players. He also mentioned that the program’s tools can be reached remotely and the presence of a qualified staff member for each applicant promises more successful outcomes.
The NYS Gaming Commission’s high-ranked member noted that his group’s key objective is to ensure licensed institutions work responsibly and sensitively for people in need. Robert Williams views the VSE initiative as a great knowledge and resource base for ensuring gamblers' mental health and overall well-being.
OASAS' representative also expressed strong support for the campaign. According to Dr Chinazo Cunningham's statement, her association covers various aspects of work with addictive gaming.
The list of these responsibilities includes:
- issues prevention;
- comprehensive care;
- harm and risk reduction;
- rehabilitation accompaniment, etc.
The new social program perfectly complements these processes and the core idea overall. The Commissioner also emphasised that the initiative offers participants to connect to local dedicated communities and get quality help timely.
