What is Self-Exclusion?

The Division of Problem Gambling offers two types of Self-Exclusions: Casino self-exclusion, where you exclude yourself from gambling at all Arizona casinos and Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports (EWFS) self-exclusion, where you voluntarily exclude yourself from placing wagers or purchasing fantasy sports contest entries at any licensed facility or on an internet/mobile platform. These exclusions are separate from each other; meaning if you exclude yourself from the casinos, you are not excluding from EWFS and vice versa. You can find more information about EWFS by clicking on the tab on the navigation bar at the top of this page.  Self-Exclusion is a process that allows a person to request to be banned from either all Indian Gaming Facilities within the State of Arizona OR Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests. Both exclusions provide that a person on the self-exclusion list will be prohibited from collecting any winnings or recovering any losses. The ban includes the use of any of the services or privileges of the facility such as restaurants, concerts, conventions, and hotels. The time period options are either a one year, five year, or ten year exclusion. This exclusion is irrevocable and cannot be altered or rescinded for any reason during the time period selected on the form.

How Do I Exclude Myself From Arizona Casinos or Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests?

There are a number of ways you can go about excluding yourself. You can download the appropriate exclusion form on this page, fill it out in its entirety, have it notarized and mail it to the Department of Gaming along with a current photo of yourself. The form (available in a fillable .pdf) can be found in three separate sections; on the Home page, above on this page, and a Links section on the Resources page. The Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests (EWFS) self-exclusion form can also be found on the EWFS tab at the top of this page. Please note: The self-exclusion will not be processed without proper notarization and a current photo. The photo may be submitted electronically via email (do not send by text); however, the original, notarized self-exclusion form must be mailed or delivered to this office.

In Person self-exclusions are currently only available by appointment only. Please do not let this stop you from excluding yourself or receiving the help you may need. Questions regarding self-exclusion can be answered by calling 602-771-4263 and ask to speak to some about self-exclusions or by email at [email protected]. The self-exclusion form is available on this website and can be mailed to the office after being notarized. Pictures can be emailed or attached to the form. In addition to self-exclusion, we offer Tribal and State funded treatment from our list of treatment providers. The list of providers can be found on this site.

Please read the Self-Exclusion FAQs for more information.
