South Carolina Gambling Self-Exclusion Options

Official program details last verified .

South Carolina does not publish one statewide gambling self-exclusion application, but two official actions are available for common routes. You can request deletion of a South Carolina Education Lottery Players' Club account. If you use Catawba Two Kings Casino in nearby Kings Mountain, North Carolina, its official form offers a one-year or lifetime exclusion. These actions have separate coverage and neither blocks every form of gambling in South Carolina.

How to Use the Available South Carolina Options

Choose the action that matches how you gamble, then add separate controls for every route it does not cover.

  1. 1

    For the South Carolina Education Lottery, use the Contact Us route linked from the official terms and request deletion of your Players' Club account; unsubscribe from promotions or update account preferences at the same time

  2. 2

    Wait for any live second-chance promotion entry to conclude before expecting SCEL to delete the account, and keep the response confirming deletion

  3. 3

    For Catawba Two Kings, download the official form and choose either one year or lifetime; only the person seeking exclusion can submit the request

  4. 4

    Submit the Two Kings form in person to Security with government photo ID, or mail it with a current photo and the notarized section completed to Security Department, Catawba Two Kings Casino, 538 Kings Mountain Blvd., Kings Mountain, NC 28086

  5. 5

    If you use Big M Casino or another South Carolina venue, ask its security team for the current written restriction policy because its public website does not publish a complete self-exclusion procedure

  6. 6

    Add payment and device controls for lottery retail purchases, other venues, websites, and apps that neither verified action covers

Removal, Expiry, and Account Reopening

SCEL publishes account deletion rather than a fixed self-exclusion term and does not describe it as a retail-purchase ban. The Two Kings form defines its one-year end date as one year plus one day after signing and treats lifetime exclusion as indefinite. It does not publish an early-removal route for either selected term.

Important Notes

Neither option is a statewide South Carolina gambling ban. SCEL account deletion does not stop retail ticket purchases. Two Kings is physically in North Carolina and applies only to the named property and future Catawba Nation Gaming Commission operations. House Bill 444 proposes a sports-wagering voluntary-exclusion program, but it remains pending legislation rather than an available service. Big M Casino publishes contact details and a responsible-gambling helpline but no complete public self-exclusion procedure.
