Autoexclusión del juego en el Distrito de Columbia

These are the kinds of gambling we checked. The list may not include every way to gamble in DC. (Este dato aún no está traducido.)

The District of Columbia is regulated separately from any state, by its own Office of Lottery and Gaming (OLG). OLG runs one self-exclusion program that covers DC Lottery retail sales, iLottery, and retail and online/mobile sports wagering together. You cannot limit it to one type of gambling. The District's gaming law that we read names no casino, racing or fantasy-sports license category, though that is a finding across the sections we read and not an official statement that none exists. OLG also licenses charitable gaming and game of skill machines, and we don't know whether the program reaches them. On paper you can enroll online at forms.dc.gov/f/SelfExclusion, in person at OLG headquarters, or in person at any licensed Class A or B facility. The phone line, (202) 788-2102, only arranges an appointment for one of the in-person routes and doesn't complete enrollment. OLG's own Self-Exclusion FAQ and page 1 of the online form say the application must be submitted in person, so we don't know whether the online route works. Expect to be asked for your Social Security number. The paper application's cover says it isn't required, but its field is marked required, OLG's FAQ and online instructions say it's collected, and the online form requires it. Terms are 1 year, 18 months, 3 years, 5 years or lifetime, and you can choose lifetime only after at least 6 months on the list. A term ending does not remove you automatically. Two official documents disagree on how to come off the list. The regulation describes a petition after your term ends plus an in-person session. OLG's FY2024 Responsible Gambling Plan instead requires an affidavit from a licensed mental health professional who is a certified gambling addiction counselor. Neither is marked as replaced. DC also keeps a separate Involuntary Exclusion List for integrity reasons, which you can't use to exclude yourself. We checked tribal casinos, online casino, fantasy sports, racing, game of skill machines and charitable gaming (bingo, raffles, Monte Carlo Night parties) against DC law and OLG's site, and none has a named self-exclusion mechanism. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the District. (Este dato aún no está traducido.)
