(b) An association or corporation licensed or enfranchised pursuant to this chapter shall not be liable to any self-excluded person or to any other party in any judicial proceeding for any harm, monetary or otherwise, which may arise as a result of a self-excluded person's engaging in gaming activity while on the list of self-excluded persons; provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit the liability of any such association, corporation, or facility for any other acts or omissions under any other statutory law or under the common law.

(c) No voluntary order or request to exclude persons from entering the premises of any such association, corporation, or facility may be rescinded, canceled, or declared null and void until seven days after a request has been received by such association, corporation, or facility to cancel such order or request. 3. The commission shall promulgate rules and regulations under which a person with an account authorized pursuant to section one thousand twelve of this chapter may voluntarily place limits on the amounts of his or her wagers or potential wagers on a daily or weekly basis. No order from a person to remove any limit placed on account wagers shall be effective until seven days after it has been received by the entity conducting account wagering.
