Winning a jackpot as a self-excluded

[Hispo]

Self-exclusion is a way to completely stop gambling. If you feel truly confident in this decision, there's no turning back. If you violate self-exclusion and the casino finds out, your account may be frozen, and your assets, including all your winnings, will be confiscated. Therefore, self-exclusion is a wise choice if you choose this.

The management of the casino is not supposed to allow one to get into the casino if one has decided to opt for self-exclusion, though.
It is not fair if the casino allows someone who decided to self-exclude to enter their facilities, so they can continue to gamble, the casino will still keep all the losses of the person and only investigate if the person actually manages to earn money from the session...
The right thing to do is not allowing those people, who happen to also be addicted to gambling, to enter in the first place, that would save both the casino and gambler a lot of trouble.

Sometimes those who decide to go for self-exclusion are not even mentally ready to such commitment and end up like the woman in the news which was shared by OP. Losing their money to the government, even after hitting jackpot.

I'd also assume they'll be denied because it's rare to hear successful stories or praises from those who've been through self-exclusion, and the ones I always see are those who try to abuse the system.

The best outcome would be for them to honor the winnings and then blame themselves for the mistake, but I doubt their self-exclusion would be that unreliable to begin with, because it's usually handled by request.

This is as simple as it can also be complicated depending on how people actually look at it, the casino isn't supposed to let that person play again under any circumstance unless their self exclusion was lifted and the person should have stuck with their decision to not gamble during the time the self exclusion was in play so at the end of the day both parties are responsible but then gambling addiction is a thing so the person can argue to have been an addict putting the fault on the casino for letting him play even though he already self excluded.

What if the person use another account for it? It will be easy for the gambling site to get away with it by saying the person is using multiple accounts to cheat.

If the person use the same account which he used for self-exclusion, the gambling site need to pay him the money to avoid lawsuits. The gambling site is not right because why do they allow the person to continue to gamble with his account after he went for self-exclusion.

If the person uses a different account then you can't hold the casino responsible in anyway since as far as they are concerned that was a different person and they also have to pay the winnings because still they are different accounts meaning different people, if it's the same account then the casino will mostly be a fault since they could have prevented that account from being able to still gamble, but it's not all that easy to win against a casino in court.

Right, but that won't happened in my opinion. It's all going to be the fault of the gamblers themselves. They are in the program of self-exclusion, they shouldn't even try to test out the system of the casino if indeed if it is being followed or not.

If they created as second account, then that is the obvious fault of them as well. So gamblers are in a no win situation here and won't pay that winning jackpot if they found out that this gamblers have violated their terms under self-inclusion and the terms of the casino in general.

An addict can relapse, it's a very common occurrence and that's why you can't blame them when you were the one dangling their addiction right in front of them, if they are in self exclusion then the casino should not have allowed gambling on that account, it's like a bank freezing an account and still letting the owner transact on that account, you can definitely hold the back responsible and in this case the casino for still allowing that account to be able to place bets.
