the account wagering system, the exchange wagering licensee, the fixed odds wagering licensee, or an employee thereof shall not be liable to a person on the self-exclusion list

the account wagering system or the exchange wagering licensee or the fixed odds wagering licensee to withhold wagering privileges from, or restore wagering privileges to, a person

on the self-exclusion list; or (2) permitting a person on the self-exclusion list to engage in wagering activity

at a permitted racetrack or licensed off-track wagering facility, or through the account
