Request Voluntary Self-Exclusion from Gambling Activities

Self-exclusion programs help individuals affected by problem gambling distance themselves from the temptation of gambling. 

Overview

Self-exclusion allows these individuals to voluntarily ban themselves from casinos, internet-based gambling, video gaming terminals and fantasy sports wagering. 

Individuals who enroll in self-exclusion are prohibited from collecting any winnings, recovering any losses or accepting complimentary gifts or services or any other thing of value from a licensee or operator.

Types of self-exclusion
