Before you count on it. This list covers the three video-lottery casinos, their iGaming websites, and the Lottery's iGaming/Sports Mobile app. It does not reach Delaware's registered fantasy-sports operators. The state's fantasy-sports page names six (Betr, DraftKings, FanDuel, PrizePicks, Underdog and Yahoo), and state rules require each one to let you exclude yourself from its contests. There is no single state list, so enrolling here leaves fantasy contests open. You set it up separately with each operator you use. Traditional draw and instant lottery games, harness racing, and charitable gaming (bingo, raffles, poker tournaments) were each checked against an official regulatory text and none of them describes a self-exclusion mechanism. No tribal casino was found in Delaware. If you play anyway, you forfeit any winnings, you cannot recover losses, and knowingly entering a gaming area is a Class A misdemeanor. You also lose complimentary goods and services, credit and check-cashing privileges, player club membership and free-play offers. Whether out-of-state residents qualify is not addressed either way. The casinos and iGaming sites must also work to stop promotions, targeted mailings and player club materials from reaching you. Only in-person enrollment in Dover is confirmed, and mail is explicitly refused. The casinos and iGaming sites have 48 hours after the Lottery mails them notice, but the Lottery publishes no mailing deadline and no confirmation receipt, so nothing tells you the operators have acted. A 1-year or 5-year term does not end on its own — it takes another in-person request at the Lottery office — and a lifetime term cannot be removed. | ||||||||

| card rooms — independent (non-tribal) card rooms | No program foundWhat we checked: 11 Del. C. Sec. 1406(a)(1)'s general ban, read in Part D (Sec. 1400-1431) in full on 2026-10-09, on keeping or exhibiting a gaming table for money outside a licensed exemption. Not a statement about the casinos' own licensed table games (Title 29 ch. 48, already covered by the statewide program, exempted by Sec. 1413) or the charitable Texas Hold'em poker tournaments 10 DAC 104 licenses (covered by the charitable gaming row above); no other Delaware title was searched for a commercial card-room license.WhyChecked 2026-10-09. 11 Del. C. Sec. 1406(a)(1) makes it a class A misdemeanor when a person "keeps or exhibits a gaming table, faro bank, sweat cloth, roulette table or other device under any denomination at which cards, dice or any other game of chance is played for money, or other thing of value or other gambling device of any kind whatsoever". Part D of Title 11 Chapter 5 (Sec. 1400-1431) was read in full, and its only exemptions are for law-enforcement officers (Sec. 1409), antique slot machines (Sec. 1405(c), 1406(c)), State-owned video lottery machines and lottery-under-State-control operations including video lottery agents under Title 29 ch. 48 (Sec. 1405(e), 1413), merchandising plans (Sec. 1408) and savings-promotion raffles (Sec. 1408A) -- none of which covers a commercial card room. The two lawful places cards are played for money in Delaware are the licensed casinos' own table games (Title 29 ch. 48, inside the statewide self-exclusion program's own "land-based commercial casinos" coverage) and the charitable Texas Hold'em poker tournaments 10 DAC 104 licenses to charitable/fraternal/veteran organizations (the charitable gaming row above). No other Delaware title was searched for a standalone commercial card-room license, so this is a sourced statutory absence, not an exhaustive clearance of the whole code. | 1 source

How we checked
These are the kinds of gambling we checked. The list may not include every way to gamble in the state.
Delaware has one statewide self-exclusion program, run by the Delaware Lottery Office and Division of Gaming Enforcement, and you can enroll only in person. It covers the three casinos (Delaware Park, Bally's Dover and Harrington Raceway & Casino), their iGaming websites, and the Lottery's iGaming/Sports Mobile app. Terms are 1 year, 5 years or lifetime. Removal is never automatic: after the term ends, you have to appear in person. No downloadable form is published, and mail isn't accepted. State rules require each registered fantasy sports operator to let players exclude themselves and to publish how. The state's fantasy sports page names six registered operators (Betr, DraftKings, FanDuel, PrizePicks, Underdog and Yahoo). Each publishes its own self-exclusion tool, but there is no unified state list, and none of those pages names Delaware. We checked traditional and instant lottery games, harness racing, and charitable bingo, raffles and poker tournaments in the official rules, and none describes a self-exclusion mechanism. We found no tribal gaming facility, compact or agency in Delaware. We don't know whether you can enroll in the statewide program if you live outside Delaware. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state.
How Delaware's programs fit together
Delaware has one statewide self-exclusion program that you can only join in person, and it covers the three casinos, their iGaming websites and the Lottery's Sports Mobile app.
What we know about each one
One in-person sign-up covers the three casinos, their iGaming websites and the Lottery's Sports Mobile app together. The state requires each registered fantasy sports operator to offer its own self-exclusion, so you set that up separately with each one. We found no exclusion mechanism for traditional lottery games, harness racing or charitable gaming, except charitable video lottery, where the rules require agents to honor a player's request to bar themselves but describe no process for making one. Signing up for all of these still doesn't cover every way to gamble in the state.
