A voluntary program that bans you from gambling at casinos or online platforms for a set period.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary program available in every regulated gambling jurisdiction that allows you to ban yourself from participating in gambling activities for a set period (typically 1-5 years, sometimes permanently).
Once enrolled, you'll be removed from marketing lists, denied entry to casinos, and locked out of online accounts. Attempting to gamble while self-excluded can result in forfeiture of winnings.
Self-exclusion is a courageous step that should be normalized, not stigmatized. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-522-4700.
A New Jersey bettor struggling with compulsive play enrolls in the state's Voluntary Self-Exclusion program, selecting a 1-year, 5-year, or lifetime ban from all licensed NJ casinos and sportsbooks. Within 48 hours, FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and all Atlantic City properties flag the account, void pending wagers, and return deposited funds.
Any winnings generated during the exclusion period are forfeited, and re-entry to a casino floor during an active ban constitutes trespass. Most states operate similar programs — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, and others share data across operators. National tools like GamStop (UK) and multi-state registries are expanding. Self-exclusion is not a failure; it is the single most effective intervention for problem gambling, with clinical studies showing 70%+ of enrollees report reduced harm at the 12-month mark.
