(i) acknowledging in a manner to be established by the board that the person is a problem gambler;

(c) Liability.--An establishment licensee or employee thereof shall not be liable to a self-excluded person or to another party in a judicial proceeding for harm, monetary or otherwise, which may arise as a result of:

(2) otherwise permitting or not permitting the self-excluded person to engage in video gaming activity within the establishment licensee's premises while on the list of self-excluded persons.
(d) Nondisclosure.--Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the board's list of self-excluded persons shall not be open to public inspection.
