Missouri Gaming Commission
Missouri Gaming Commission
If you want to participate in this voluntary program, you will need to complete an application form at a Missouri Gaming Commission office.
You may complete an application for placement on the List of Disassociated Persons at any MGC office. Each Missouri riverboat casino has an MGC office located on the property; casino security can direct you to an MGC agent. Applications are processed on the boats during casino operating hours.
If you would prefer not to return to the boat to place yourself on the List, you may also complete your application at one of the three regional administrative MGC offices. They are open Monday – Friday and are located in Jefferson City, Kansas City and St. Louis. Please call to schedule an appointment to ensure an agent will be available.
Yes. The application must be completed in the presence of a Missouri Gaming Commission agent.
No. You may complete an application at the Commission’s administrative offices in Jefferson City, Kansas City and St. Louis. We recommend you call the regional office to schedule an appointment.
No. This is a voluntary program. The individual desiring to exclude him/herself from Missouri casinos must complete the application in person at a Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC) office.
Yes. Casino employees, and other individuals (on the List) may now access a Missouri excursion gambling boat to perform duties of their job; they must first notify the Missouri Gaming Commission office of the nature of their duties. Individuals on the List are not allowed to engage in gaming activities while in a gaming facility to perform their duties of employment.
Only those individuals responsible for enforcing the program have access to the information on the List.
No. Your name and information contained in the application are exempt from public disclosure, and are not open for public inspection. It cannot be released to your spouse, relative, employer, etc. without your permission.
However, if you choose to violate your pledge and are identified on a Missouri excursion gambling boat, you will be arrested for criminal trespass. Arrest warrants are public information; therefore the reason identified on your warrant for your arrest will be available to the public.

Yes, you may bring a friend or family member along for support. However, a portion of the interview must be completed on a one-on-one basis to protect certain confidential matters and rights of the person applying to the program. With approval of the agent, you may choose to have your friend/family member accompany you during the remainder of your interview.
MGC staff members will review and verify the application. Valid applications are entered into the database and notification is given to the Missouri riverboat casinos. Upon notification of an individual’s placement on the List, Missouri casino operators are required to remove the individual from their direct marketing lists, invalidate his/her player’s club account and deny check-cashing privileges.
If you have voluntarily placed your name on the List of Disassociated Persons and you are observed on the premises of a Missouri riverboat casino (excursion gambling boat), you will be charged with criminal trespassing, a class B misdemeanor, and will be immediately removed from the casino premises.
Additionally, all chips, tokens and electronic credits in your possession at the time of discovery are subject to forfeiture.
Finally, arrest warrants are public record, therefore the information on your arrest warrant will be available to the public.
Legally, no. Practically, probably. Because you are informing the casinos that you are a problem gambler and cannot gamble responsibly, they may choose to deny you service at their casinos in other jurisdictions.
No. If you voluntarily complete a valid application for placement on the List of Disassociated Persons, your name will appear on the List for life. MGC has no procedures for removal.
