How to enroll

1. 1 Online via the DCP Self-Exclusion Portal at gaming-exclusion.service.ct.gov

Official page: portal.ct.gov/gaming/self-exclusion — enroll there directly, never through a third-party site.

What to watch out for

Enrollees are prohibited from collecting winnings, recovering losses, or accepting comps. One-year and five-year enrollees are not removed automatically - they stay on the list until they apply for removal after the term ends; lifetime exclusion is permanent and can never be removed. Unusually comprehensive: it is one of the few state programs that also covers online lottery and keno.

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Connecticut's program only binds operators licensed in the state — offshore sites and crypto casinos ignore it. The setup that holds is layered: self-exclusion plus a gambling blocker on your devices plus a gambling block on your bank card.
