Puerto Rico has officially joined the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NVSEP), becoming part of a growing network of regulators and operators focused on making responsible gaming protections more accessible, connected, and effective for individuals seeking help.
The initiative will launch in June and give eligible individuals in Puerto Rico the option to voluntarily enroll and prevent access to gaming operators and platforms across multiple jurisdictions and gaming types.
The move aligns with the ongoing efforts of the Comisión de Juegos del Gobierno de Puerto Rico to modernize gaming oversight while prioritizing consumer protection and responsible gaming across Puerto Rico’s expanding gaming ecosystem, which includes casinos, sports wagering, and many other regulated gaming activities.
“Puerto Rico has built one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving gaming markets in the region, backed by strong leadership and a vibrant culture that makes it a truly special place. We’re honored to support the Comisión de Juegos in expanding access to responsible gaming protections, and we look forward to simplifying self-exclusion for individuals while streamlining processes for operators, many of whom already process exclusion data via the idPair platform deployed across other jurisdictions,” said Jonathan Aiwazian, CEO of idPair.
Juan Carlos Santaella Marchán, Executive Director of the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission, said: “This alliance strengthens our public policy efforts to maintain a safe, highly regulated gaming industry grounded in responsible gaming practices. Our goal has always been to provide accessible tools and resources for anyone seeking support with gambling-related issues. This initiative aligns with the work we have carried out since I assumed office, as well as with our ongoing Responsible Gaming educational campaign. Once again, we reaffirm our commitment to Puerto Rico.”
The National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program was created to simplify what has historically been a fragmented self-exclusion process. Instead of requiring individuals to navigate multiple exclusion systems independently, NVSEP offers a centralized and secure enrollment experience designed to make responsible gaming protections easier to access while preserving player choice.
Participants enroll online through a secure process and operators receive exclusion data through the idPair platform to support enforcement and regulatory obligations.
