STEP Program

Global Cash Access (GCA) is an independent provider of cash access services to Potawatomi Bingo Casino. GCA offers ATM, credit card cash advance and POS debit card cash access transactions to Potawatomi Bingo Casino guests.

GCA has had a long-standing commitment to promoting responsible gambling. In 1999 they launched the Responsible Gaming Partnership program, one of the first of many responsible gambling partnerships to address underage and problem gambling.

GCA has since been working with leading responsible gambling associations worldwide to develop the most comprehensive tools in the industry to help prevent problem gamblers from obtaining funds in a casino. GCA offers “STEP,” the Self Transaction Exclusion Program. STEP gives people the option to exclude themselves from being able to use GCA’s cash advance and ATM network everywhere that GCA’s services are provided worldwide, including nearly 1,000 gambling establishments within the United States.

By completing the required authorization forms, guests can register any or all of their debit cards, credit cards or checking accounts. Upon registration, access to cash through GCA’s entire network will be denied. After a one-year waiting period, guests can reactivate any registered card or account.
