The short answer

Texas has no statewide self-exclusion program, and the Texas Lottery has no voluntary exclusion option. First move: Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) — free, confidential, 24/7.

Can I use NVSEP in Texas?

Partly. NVSEP — the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program — is a free service that fills in and files state self-exclusion forms for you, and it does file in Texas. What it reaches here is fantasy sports and nothing else: not casinos, not sportsbooks, not the lottery. What NVSEP covers, state by state has the full roster.

What can I do instead in Texas?

Texas has no statewide self-exclusion program, and the Texas Lottery has no voluntary exclusion option.

  1. 1 Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) — free, confidential, 24/7.
  2. 2 Ask individual tribal casinos (such as Kickapoo Lucky Eagle) about their property-level exclusion programs.
  3. 3 Install blocking software on every device.
  4. 4 Self-exclude directly inside any offshore or out-of-state apps you use.

Is self-exclusion enough on its own in Texas?

Check which operators your exclusions cover in Texas. Separate exclusions can leave gaps, and unlicensed sites may not participate in state programs. The setup that holds is layered: self-exclusion, plus a ban inside each betting app you hold, plus a blocker that locks betting apps on your phone plus a block on gambling transactions at your bank. For the full walkthrough, start with our self-exclusion guide or the complete guide to quitting gambling.

Gambling across the Texas line?

A state program only binds operators licensed in that state. If you drive to a casino or bet on an app registered next door, you need that state's ban too.

Or compare every US state's program side by side.
