Gambling self-exclusion in Arizona
Self-exclusion in Arizona: you need two separate enrollments. Arizona: tribal casinos, run by the Arizona Department of Gaming. First step: Open the Arizona casino self-exclusion form. It ends on its own at the end of the term. Arizona: casinos, sports betting and fantasy sports, run by the Arizona Department of Gaming. First step: Open the official form. It ends on its own at the end of the term. None substitutes for another, and this is not everything in Arizona.

Before you count on it. You do not have to live in Arizona to apply. The department usually processes a complete application the same day it arrives, but it never notifies you, so sending the form does not confirm enrollment. Call to confirm. | ||||||||
Gambling types in Arizona
One self-exclusion list rarely blocks every kind of gambling. Here is what we found for each type of gambling in this state.
| Gambling type | What we found | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| commercial casino — commercial land-based casinos | Official sources don't settle it | 4 sources

| lottery | Not covered by a program listed hereWhat we checked: The two statewide self-exclusion lists the Arizona Department of Gaming runs - the Casino list and the Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports list - as the Department itself describes their reach on gaming.az.gov/exclude (read 2026-10-05) and problemgambling.az.gov/self-exclusion/faqs (read 2026-10-01).WhyChecked 2026-10-08. The Department answers "What facilities will I be excluded from?" on both of its self-exclusion pages with the whole reach of both lists: "The state-wide self-exclusion program for Tribal Gaming Facilities (casinos) excludes you from all Class III Tribal Gaming Facilities in Arizona and includes the use of services of any Tribal Gaming Facility, such as restaurants, concerts, hotels, and conferences on the casino property. The state-wide self-exclusion program for Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests (sports betting) excludes you from placing wagers or purchasing fantasy sports contest entries at any licensed sportsbook facility or on an internet/mobile platform within the state." Draw games, Scratchers, Fast Play and Instant Tabs are none of those, so neither list reaches the Arizona Lottery. The Lottery’s own Please Play Responsibly page, read 2026-10-08, gives budget tips, warning signs, lottery myths and the 1-800-NEXT-STEP helpline, and describes no self-exclusion, ban or account-closure mechanism; it says the Lottery and ADG "work together to promote responsible play" and that Lottery revenue helps fund ADG’s Division of Problem Gambling. Limit, stated plainly: the Lottery’s silence about a mechanism of its own is a documented dead end, not a refusal. This record states only that the two listed ADG programs do not cover the lottery. | 3 sources

| racing/pari-mutuel — racing, pari-mutuel and off-track betting | Not covered by a program listed hereWhat we checked: The two statewide self-exclusion lists the Arizona Department of Gaming runs - the Casino list and the Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports list - as the Department itself describes their reach on gaming.az.gov/exclude (read 2026-10-05) and problemgambling.az.gov/self-exclusion/faqs (read 2026-10-01).WhyChecked 2026-10-08. The Department answers "What facilities will I be excluded from?" on both of its self-exclusion pages with the whole reach of both lists: "The state-wide self-exclusion program for Tribal Gaming Facilities (casinos) excludes you from all Class III Tribal Gaming Facilities in Arizona and includes the use of services of any Tribal Gaming Facility, such as restaurants, concerts, hotels, and conferences on the casino property. The state-wide self-exclusion program for Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests (sports betting) excludes you from placing wagers or purchasing fantasy sports contest entries at any licensed sportsbook facility or on an internet/mobile platform within the state." A pari-mutuel wager on a horse or greyhound race is neither, so neither list reaches it. ADG’s Racing Division regulates the activity: its Racing page says Turf Paradise in Phoenix "is currently the only permitted race track in Arizona", and its Pari-Mutuel Wagering page (read 2026-10-08) names four permitted Advanced Deposit Wagering providers (TwinSpires, XPressBet, TVG (FanDuel), NYRA Bets) and says Arizona’s off-track betting sites "are located in bars and restaurants statewide" with wagers there "treated the same as if they were placed at the race track." The Racing FAQ’s questions cover complaints, hearings, breeder awards, licensing, commercial and county-fair racing, OTB and simulcasting, wagering and advance deposit wagering; none concerns self-exclusion or problem gambling. One real overlap, recorded so nobody over-reads this: a Limited Event Wagering Operator may run retail sports betting at a racetrack or OTB (the Department’s roster lists Turf Paradise Racetrack among them), and an EWFS exclusion does reach that sports betting - it does not reach the pari-mutuel racing wagers at the same address. Limit: whether Turf Paradise or any of the four ADW providers operates its own account-level self-exclusion was not examined; that is an operator question. | 5 sources

| online casino | No program foundWhat we checked: The Arizona Department of Gaming’s own published statement that online casinos are not legal in Arizona, read on gaming.az.gov 2026-10-08, with A.R.S. 13-3301 and 13-3302 read on azleg.gov the same day. It is not a statement about tribal gaming conducted on tribal lands under a compact.WhyChecked 2026-10-08. The Arizona Department of Gaming, the state’s gaming regulator, says it on its own home page under the heading "Fraudulent Online Casinos": "Online casinos (often referred to as ‘igaming’) are not legal in Arizona. Any claims otherwise should be treated as highly suspicious. These scams not only put players at financial risk but also undermine the integrity of Arizona’s regulated gaming industry. Fraudulent operators are falsely claiming that legitimate Arizona casinos have launched online gaming platforms." A.R.S. 13-3301(8) and 13-3302(A) authorize gambling only as regulated gambling - under a tribal-state compact or the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, under a statute, rule or order of this state or the United States, or as event wagering under title 5, chapter 11 - and no Arizona online casino licensing scheme appears there or on any ADG page read. So there is no licensed online casino product in Arizona for a self-exclusion to attach to. Limit: the Department’s sentence is about the legality of the product. It is not a statement that an illegal offshore site would honor an exclusion request, and no program listed here reaches one. | 3 sources

| charitable/bingo — charitable gaming and bingo | Not covered by a program listed hereWhat we checked: The two statewide self-exclusion lists the Arizona Department of Gaming runs - the Casino list and the Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports list - as the Department itself describes their reach on gaming.az.gov/exclude (read 2026-10-05) and problemgambling.az.gov/self-exclusion/faqs (read 2026-10-01).WhyChecked 2026-10-08. The Department answers "What facilities will I be excluded from?" on both of its self-exclusion pages with the whole reach of both lists: "The state-wide self-exclusion program for Tribal Gaming Facilities (casinos) excludes you from all Class III Tribal Gaming Facilities in Arizona and includes the use of services of any Tribal Gaming Facility, such as restaurants, concerts, hotels, and conferences on the casino property. The state-wide self-exclusion program for Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests (sports betting) excludes you from placing wagers or purchasing fantasy sports contest entries at any licensed sportsbook facility or on an internet/mobile platform within the state." ADG’s own Charitable Gaming page (read 2026-10-08) says where each form of charitable play sits, and none of them is a Class III tribal facility or a licensed EWFS platform: "While no Arizona state agency regulates charitable raffles, there are rules that determine whether a raffle is legal"; "While Lottery Instant Tabs (Pull-Tabs) are a charitable gambling exception, they are not regulated by the Arizona Department of Gaming. They are regulated by Arizona Lottery"; "Charitable bingo is operated under a license obtained by the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR)"; and Horse Racing Charity Days "are regulated by the ADG’s Racing Division". A.R.S. 13-3302(B) through (E) set out which nonprofit organizations may run a raffle and on what conditions, and create no player-exclusion mechanism. The Department of Revenue’s Bingo in Arizona page, read 2026-10-08 ("Bingo is legal in the state of Arizona for recreational purposes, or to allow certain types of nonprofit organizations to generate funds to support their activities ... The Arizona Department of Revenue enforces these laws"), has zero occurrences of "exclu", "self-", "problem gambl", "compulsive", "barred" or "banned". Limits: ADOR’s silence is a dead end, not a refusal, and the bingo statutes and rules themselves were not read. | 5 sources

How we checked
These are the kinds of gambling we checked, and the list may not include every way to gamble in the state. Non-tribal commercial casinos, sports betting beyond what the combined form names, skill games and card rooms are still unresolved. Nothing here means these two lists cover all gambling in Arizona.
Arizona's Department of Gaming has a casino-only application and a combined one for casinos, sports betting and fantasy sports. Option 1 on the combined form already includes Arizona casinos, so you don't need both forms by default. You don't have to live in Arizona to apply; the Department said so in writing on October 5, 2026. It also said you can email a scanned PDF of the application, and that it accepts online notarization though it offers none itself. On October 6, 2026 it named the two inboxes that take an emailed application: selfexclusion@azgaming.gov and publicaffairs@azgaming.gov. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state.
How Arizona's programs fit together
Arizona has two Department of Gaming lists: one for tribal casinos, and one for sports betting and fantasy sports that also covers casinos if you choose Option 1.
What we know about each one
The casino list covers Arizona's Class III tribal gaming facilities and their amenities, and signing up for it alone doesn't cover sports betting or fantasy sports. The sports betting and fantasy sports form has two options. Option 1 also bans you from Arizona casinos, so you don't need the casino form as well. Option 2 covers mobile apps and non-tribal retailers only. Signing up for both still doesn't cover every way to gamble in the state.

If you also gamble outside Arizona
State lists stop at the state line. Some casino companies' own bans reach their properties elsewhere, and each program above says what it covers. If you also travel to nearby states to gamble, check their pages too:
