VOLUNTARY SELF- EXCLUSION

Self-exclusion allows a person to request to be excluded from legalized gaming activities in Connecticut. Individuals who enroll in self-exclusion are prohibited from collecting any winnings, recovering any losses, or accepting complimentary gifts or services or any other thing of value from a gaming licensee or operator. Gaming Operators may choose to exclude participants in the Connecticut Self-Exclusion list from their services in other states or countries.

Voluntary self-exclusion can be a beneficial and empowering tool for those who feel they may be developing or have a problem with their gambling. By creating a barrier, it allows those who want to decrease or stop their activity to reduce the harms associated with gambling.

• Issues sticking to preset time or money limits

• There is a focus on winning back losses
• Gambling has taken priority over other areas of life

A statewide Voluntary Self-Exclusion option is available through the Department of Consumer Protection and offers exclusion from the online platforms operated by Draftkings, FanDuel, and PlaySugarHouse, and the retail sports wagering facilities such as Winners and Bobby V’s.

The casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, also offer Self-Exclusion programs for their physical locations in Connecticut. To exclude from physical casino gaming, each casino requires individuals to complete and return their self-exclusion forms.
