Nevada Gambling Self-Exclusion Options
Official program details last verified .
Nevada does not publish a single voluntary self-exclusion application that covers every casino and sportsbook. Current state rules create different paths for online poker, sportsbook accounts, casino credit and marketing, and property access. Work through every account and venue separately, confirm the scope in writing, and do not confuse these recovery controls with Nevada's regulatory Excluded Person List.

Use the current licensee and regulator paths for the products you use. Nevada does not publish one request that closes every route.
- 1
List every casino property, sportsbook account, and interactive gaming account you need to restrict because Nevada does not publish one voluntary request that covers all of them
- 2
For Nevada-regulated online poker, use the interactive gaming operator's responsible-gaming controls or contact the operator to request self-exclusion; Regulation 5A requires account closure, enforcement, and reasonable steps to stop marketing
- 3
For each retail or mobile sportsbook account, use the deposit-limit control that Regulation 5 requires the wagering-account system to offer, then ask that licensee for its current self-exclusion or account-closure process and written confirmation of the accounts and properties covered
- 4
For a land-based casino, ask for its Regulation 5.170 self-limit process for casino credit, check cashing, and direct marketing; ask separately whether the property offers a voluntary entry restriction or trespass process
- 5
Use the Nevada Gaming Control Board Location Detail Report to identify the licensee behind a location. For a regulatory question or a failure to honor a stated control, contact the Board at 702-486-3340; the Board does not enroll people in one statewide voluntary program
- 6
Do not apply to the Nevada Excluded Person List as a recovery tool. It is a regulatory list created under NRS 463.151 and Regulation 28, not a public voluntary self-exclusion program
Ending or Removing Self-Exclusion
There is no single statewide voluntary term or removal process. Regulation 5A prevents an interactive gaming operator from allowing play to resume until a reasonable period of at least 30 days has passed. Other operator and property restrictions can use different terms, so confirm each policy before submitting a request.
Important Notes
The Nevada Gaming Control Board's Excluded Person List is based on regulatory suitability criteria and is not a voluntary problem-gambling enrollment list. Regulation 5A covers interactive gaming, which is online poker under the current regulation. Regulation 5 separately requires deposit-limit controls for wagering accounts and a written casino self-limit process for credit, check cashing, and direct marketing. None of these rules creates one statewide voluntary ban for every casino, sportsbook, and online account. Current NGCB pages and regulations reviewed on August 25 did not publish a statewide voluntary casino application.
