Pennsylvania Gambling Self-Exclusion: 4 Separate Programs

Pennsylvania uses four separate PGCB self-exclusion lists: casino, iGaming, video gaming terminals, and fantasy contests. Joining one list does not add you to the others. The iGaming list covers Pennsylvania-licensed online casino games, poker, and sports wagering. Use the official PGCB service for every program you want to join.

How to Join a Pennsylvania Self-Exclusion List

Choose every gambling category you want covered, then complete the current PGCB enrollment process for each selected list.

  1. Open the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board self-exclusion page and read the current enrollment instructions
  2. Sign in to the PGCB enrollment service or schedule an appointment with a PGCB office
  3. Select Casino, iGaming, VGT, Fantasy Contest, or more than one program; each selected program requires a separate enrollment
  4. Complete the program-specific enrollment steps; online verification uses a live selfie and the front and back of government-issued ID
  5. Choose the exclusion duration offered for each selected program and review its terms before submitting
  6. Save the enrollment receipt and check your status in the PGCB dashboard; a request marked under review is not yet active

Removal, Expiry, and Account Reopening

Casino exclusions for one or five years remain active until the person requests removal after the selected term. iGaming, VGT, and fantasy exclusions expire at the end of a non-lifetime term. Lifetime casino, iGaming, and VGT exclusions do not have an end date. Review the current PGCB removal instructions for the list you selected.

Important Notes

The four PGCB lists are separate, and one enrollment does not automatically cover every gambling type. Operators may apply stricter cross-property rules. Pennsylvania Lottery and iLottery use a separate exclusion process.
