Self-exclusion, handled for you.
Leave gambling sites and casinos behind. We contact them, prepare your requests and keep following up, from the first message through to confirmation, with every update in one place.
Tell us where. We take it from there.
We handle the research, paperwork and follow-up for your chosen gambling sites, apps, casinos and self-exclusion programs. You have one place to see what is happening, without chasing every organization yourself.
Tell us where you want to self-exclude
Tell us which sites, apps or venues you use and where you are. We work out the right route for each destination. You review the scope and one-time price before paying.
We find out what is needed and prepare your request
We research the requirements, find the right contacts and prepare the paperwork. We ask for extra information or documents, such as ID, only when they are needed for your request.
We contact them and keep the process moving
We handle the correspondence you authorize and follow up by email or phone where needed. If a signature, identity check or another step needs you personally, we explain exactly what to do and keep handling the rest.
Follow every step through to confirmation
See the status of each destination in your Detachr account: what has been sent, what we are waiting for and anything we need from you. When an exclusion is confirmed, its details are saved in your request.
Allow around 2–4 weeks
The time depends on the organizations involved and any information or personal steps they require. You can check progress in your account throughout.
If we cannot do any work, you get a refund
If we cannot carry out any work on your request, we refund your payment. If work has already been completed, any refund takes that work into account.
What is gambling self-exclusion?
Gambling self-exclusion is a voluntary request to restrict your access to the casinos, sportsbooks, online gambling accounts, or other products covered by a specific program. Some programs cover participating operators across a country or region. Others cover one type of gambling, a group of venues or a single operator.
Programs and options vary by jurisdiction. Some are managed by gaming commissions, lottery agencies, provinces, tribes, or individual operators, and they differ in duration, scope, application process, and online gambling coverage. Review the directory and official resources before applying.
Which self-exclusion option do you need?
Start with the gambling routes you actually use. Check each one against the official program because a casino, sportsbook, online casino, lottery account, and tribal venue may not share one list.
Prefer to do it yourself?
Paid help is not an option for everyone. Our free self-exclusion guides explain the steps for your state, province or country, so you can make your own requests.
You handle the forms, contact each program and follow up yourself. Individual sites or venues may need separate requests. With Exclude, we manage the process for the destinations you choose.

Find the right authority
Start with the guide for your state, province or country, then identify the regulator, tribe, venue, or operator responsible for the gambling route you need to close.
Check scope and terms
Confirm the products, accounts, venues, duration, identification requirements, and removal rules before you submit the request.
Apply and save proof
Use the official process, keep the confirmation, and add account, payment, and device barriers for routes the program does not cover.
Your self-exclusion checklist
Self-exclusion works best when you verify coverage and add backup barriers the same day.
- Confirm whether the program covers casinos, online sportsbooks, online casinos, lottery products, or tribal venues.
- Check the minimum term, removal rules, and whether the exclusion can become permanent.
- Ask what identification, notarization, photos, or in-person steps are required.
- Close gambling accounts, remove saved payment methods, and add bank or device blocks while the application is processed.
- Save official confirmation and tell one trusted person what you enrolled in.

One-time payment. We manage your requests.
We handle the research, paperwork and correspondence for your chosen sites, venues and programs. One payment, no subscription.
Review your selected destinations and price before paying. Each U.S. state selection counts as one destination; the total limit is 10. These selections concern available in-person programs, not every venue in a state. Payment covers our work; operator approval and complete coverage are not guaranteed.

No. Exclude is a paid service with a one-time fee. We research the right process, prepare your requests, contact the casinos or programs you choose and follow up on your behalf. You can track progress and keep your request documents in your private account. Our guides are free if you prefer to handle the process yourself.
A gambling self-exclusion program is a voluntary process where you ask to be excluded from covered gambling venues or platforms. Coverage, enrollment rules, and enforcement vary by state and by program.
Casino self-exclusion is a voluntary process that can restrict access to covered land-based casinos and player accounts. Its scope may be statewide, property-specific, or limited to participating venues. Tribal casinos can use separate rules, so verify each venue before relying on one enrollment.
Some state programs include licensed online sportsbooks, while others cover only casinos or use a separate sportsbook process. Verify the product, operator or licensee, and state before assuming one enrollment covers online sports wagering.
Depending on the state and gambling product, options can include a state or regulator enrollment, an operator-level exclusion, casino property restrictions, account closure, deposit limits, and marketing suppression. These controls can have different coverage, so use the official state guide and confirm every account or venue separately.
Self-exclusion periods vary by program. Some offer fixed or selectable terms such as one year, five years, or lifetime exclusion. Others use operator-specific periods. Read the removal and reinstatement rules before choosing a term because enrollment may not be reversible early.
Reversal rules vary widely. Some programs let you request removal after a minimum period, while others require the full exclusion term to end or make lifetime exclusion difficult or impossible to reverse.
Some state programs include licensed online casino or sportsbook accounts, while others require a separate operator-level request. One enrollment may not reach other licensees, tribal sites, offshore sites, or accounts in another state. Confirm the exact online products and operators listed by the official program.
