The strongest wall
Gambling self-exclusion, state by state.
Self-exclusion asks your state or its licensed operators to bar you from gambling, and to forfeit any winnings if you slip. It blocks at the account, not just the website, which is what makes it the hardest layer to undo in a weak moment. Find your state below and register directly with the official program.
Cross state lines? One list can cover them all.
The National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NVSEP) is a free national program that bars you from casinos, sportsbooks, and fantasy apps across every participating state at once, instead of signing up state by state. It runs a free online notary where a state requires one. It’s live in a growing list of states (21 and counting as of 2026), so your state program below still matters, and covers you where NVSEP hasn’t launched yet. If you travel or bet across state lines, enrolling in both closes the most doors.
