- 3
Choose a one-year, five-year, or lifetime exclusion
- 4
Provide the identifying information requested by the application and agree to its terms
- 5

- 6

Online Platforms Covered
Current program information identifies the following online coverage. Operator participation can change, so confirm it on the official program website before enrolling.
Ending or Removing Self-Exclusion
One-year and five-year exclusions do not end automatically. After the selected period expires, you must request removal through the state portal. A lifetime exclusion cannot be removed.
Important Notes
One state request covers internet and in-person gambling offered by Connecticut Gaming Licensees, including fantasy contests. It does not cover internet or other gaming conducted solely on a tribal reservation. Use the separate tribal program forms linked by the Department of Consumer Protection for that coverage. A licensee may apply stricter or broader exclusions to affiliated properties and products.

Program rules can change. Check these regulator pages before submitting personal information or relying on a duration or removal rule.
