What to watch out for

Enrollment is in person only; forms cannot be mailed on request. Entering a gaming area while excluded is a Class A misdemeanor and any winnings are forfeited. One-year and five-year exclusions last the full term, after which you must appear in person to request reinstatement; lifetime exclusion cannot be removed. Retail draw-game lottery tickets at stores are not covered.

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Delaware'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.
