Illinois Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion in Illinois

Self-Exclusion Program, run by the Illinois Gaming Board. Signing up means every venue and app it covers must refuse you and stop marketing to you.

What it covers

All Illinois casinos and licensed sports betting, retail and online. Video gaming terminals are not included.

How long

Indefinite; removal possible after 5 years. The research favors the longest term you can say yes to today: long commitments are the ones that hold.

How to enroll

In person only, at IGB offices in every Illinois casino or the Chicago office. Takes 30 to 45 minutes with photo ID.

Make it stick

Self-exclusion covers the regulated sites. Offshore and "sweepstakes" casinos ignore it, which is why the layers matter: block them on your phone, add the bank layer, and let one person you trust know. Wagerless sets all of it up in about three minutes.
