The short answer

ESPN BET Sportsbook became theScore Bet on December 1, 2025. For an old ESPN BET account, use theScore Bet’s current self-exclusion instructions for your jurisdiction. Confirm how an existing exclusion carries over; the name change is not proof that it has ended.

How do I self-exclude from ESPN BET?

  1. 1 ESPN BET Sportsbook became theScore Bet on December 1, 2025. Use the current theScore Bet help centre linked below.
  2. 2 Choose the self-exclusion instructions for your jurisdiction. Confirm the duration, covered PENN products and balance-return process before submitting.
  3. 3 Keep confirmation that the request has been accepted. Ask support how an existing ESPN BET exclusion applies; do not assume a name change removes it.

Do it from the operator's own app or site — thescorebethelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/40425626640141-Self-Exclusion is the official responsible-gaming page.

How long does ESPN BET self-exclusion last?

Reversible?
Confirm the terms of your accepted exclusion with theScore Bet and the relevant regulator. The rebrand is not evidence that an existing exclusion has ended.
What it covers
The current operator publishes jurisdiction-specific coverage. Check the section for your location and any separate state exclusion list.

Pick the longest term you can stomach. The delay before you can play again is the entire point — an urge cannot outlast it.

How do I close my ESPN BET account — and what happens to my money?

  1. 1 Use the current theScore Bet account-closure help page or contact its support team.

Your balance: Ask support about your remaining balance when requesting exclusion; do not keep gambling while waiting for a withdrawal.

Ordinary account closure and self-exclusion are separate processes. Ask specifically for self-exclusion when the purpose is restricting gambling.

Is excluding from ESPN BET enough on its own?

No — it bans you from one operator, and there are always more. Use the current operator instructions for your jurisdiction and your regulator’s program. Coverage may extend across PENN products, but the scope must be confirmed for the exclusion you select. The setup that holds is layered: your state's self-exclusion program where one exists, a blocker on your devices, and a gambling block at your bank. For the sport-specific playbook, see how to stop sports betting.

Using more than one app?

Ban yourself from every one of them, in the same sitting, while the resolve is there.
