How to Join Maine's Universal List
Choose every regulated gambling category you want covered and keep confirmation of the categories and term on your request.
- Review Maine Gambling Control Board Chapter 13 and list each category you want to restrict
- Apply in person at the Gambling Control Board office, a licensed casino or slot facility, or a participating problem gambling services location; you may also request a virtual appointment through the provider linked by the Gambling Control Unit
- For internet sports wagering, fantasy contests, or advance deposit wagering, you may also request exclusion through a regulated operator's platform or application
- Present or upload government-issued identification, be photographed, and complete the Board's Request for Self-Exclusion form
- Choose one year, three years, five years, or lifetime and mark every category you want included
- Keep the completed request or confirmation and verify that the selected facilities and accounts have processed the exclusion
Removal, Expiry, and Account Reopening
A one-year, three-year, or five-year exclusion ends automatically on the last day of the month of the original request. A lifetime exclusion may be reviewed only after five years. The written petition must include a detailed explanation, a history of any violations, and verification of a reinstatement session with a Board-approved problem gambling services agency. Removal requires Board action.
Important Notes
The request is category-specific, so mark every activity you need covered. The current Gambling Control Unit link to ADEPT gives direct virtual instructions for casino and sports wagering enrollment. Contact the Unit at 207-626-3900 to confirm the current application path for advance deposit wagering or fantasy contests. The current universal-list rule does not name Maine Lottery, charitable gaming, unlicensed sites, gambling outside Maine, or internet gaming under Chapter 39.
