Gambling self-exclusion in Idaho
Idaho: no confirmed way to enroll you yet. The one program recorded gets you an answer, not an exclusion. This is not everything in Idaho.
Reviewed 2026-09-09 against official sources. Every fact below links to the agency that published it. How we check facts.
The plan has no enrollment steps for Idaho yet. It still builds the steps that work anywhere: blockers on your phone and computer, calls to your bank and card issuers, and a credit freeze.
We list what we've confirmed. If a casino isn't here, we haven't found its program yet. That doesn't mean it has none.

Gambling types in Idaho
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 | No program foundWhat we checked: Idaho Constitution Article III Section 20 and Idaho Code 18-3801/18-3802: no commercial casino license category exists anywhere in Idaho outside Indian lands. This says nothing about tribal gaming, a separate entry, or about casinos an Idaho resident travels to.WhyThe Idaho Constitution strictly prohibits gambling except for a state lottery, pari-mutuel betting, and charitable bingo and raffles, and bars "any form of casino gambling including, but not limited to, blackjack, craps, roulette, poker, bacarrat, keno and slot machines, or ... any electronic or electromechanical imitation or simulation of any form of casino gambling". The criminal code's gambling chapter has four sections and no licensing section and names no regulator. There is no commercial casino in Idaho outside Indian lands for any exclusion program to reach. | 3 sources

| tribal — gaming on the four reservations with federally reported operations | Official sources don't settle it | 2 sources

| online casino | No program foundWhat we checked: Idaho Code 67-7446 and the constitutional casino ban: no lawful online casino category exists and no Idaho regulator licenses one. Offshore sites reachable from Idaho and their own exclusion mechanisms are outside this claim.WhyIdaho authorizes no form of games of chance or private lottery except as its Lottery chapter allows in accordance with the Constitution, and the Constitution's casino ban covers "any electronic or electromechanical imitation or simulation of any form of casino gambling" regardless of channel. No Idaho regulator licenses an online casino. This says nothing about offshore sites reachable from Idaho or whether a national operator's own self-exclusion would accept an Idaho resident. | 2 sources
|
| sports betting — retail and online | No program foundWhat we checked: Idaho Code 18-3801 and 18-3809, and the Attorney General's public position defending Idaho's sports-betting ban: no lawful retail or online sportsbook category exists. Offshore books and federally regulated prediction markets are tracked separately.WhyIdaho's gambling definition names "a sporting event" directly, the bookmaking statute criminalizes selling pools or making books on "any trial or contest of skill, speed or power of endurance", and the Attorney General described Idaho in March 2026, in words, as a state that bans sports betting while defending that ban against a federal challenge. No lawful retail or online sportsbook category exists and no Idaho agency licenses one. This says nothing about offshore books, nor about the Kalshi/Crypto.com prediction-market products, which are tracked separately. | 3 sources
|
| fantasy/prediction — paid daily fantasy sports | No program foundWhat we checked: The Attorney General's 2016 position, applying Idaho Code 18-3801 and the constitutional casino ban, that paid daily fantasy sports is gambling: no license category exists. Whether any operator serves Idaho today notwithstanding the law was not established.WhyIn 2016 the Attorney General negotiated agreements with DraftKings and FanDuel to stop offering paid daily fantasy sports to Idaho consumers because the contests "constitute gambling under Idaho law" and the Constitution strictly prohibits gambling outside its three exceptions. The statutory definition applied is unamended since 1992, and no fantasy-sports chapter exists anywhere in the titles governing gambling, the lottery or racing. No lawful paid-fantasy category exists for an exclusion program to reach. | 2 sources

| skill games — video gaming terminals and slot-style machines | No program foundWhat we checked: Idaho Code 18-3810 and 67-429B: no lawful video gaming terminal or slot-style skill machine exists outside an antique kept for private display or a tribal video gaming machine under a compact. Tribal video gaming machines themselves are tracked under the tribal entry.WhyPossessing, operating or keeping any slot machine anywhere in Idaho is a misdemeanor, with one narrow exception for a non-operating antique kept for private display. The one statutory carve-out for a cash-paying machine of this kind is a tribal video gaming machine conducted under a state-tribal compact, which the legislature declares is not a slot machine — available only to a compacted tribe, never to a commercial operator off Indian lands. No lawful video gaming terminal or skill-game machine category exists outside those two exceptions for an exclusion program to reach. | 2 sources
|
| card rooms | No program foundWhat we checked: Idaho Constitution Article III Section 20 and Idaho Code 18-3801: poker and other card games are named casino gambling and no card-room license category exists off Indian lands. Tribal poker under a compact is tracked separately, and home or social poker was not examined.WhyThe Idaho Constitution names poker directly among the forms of casino gambling it bars, and the statutory definition of gambling repeats the same list. No Idaho agency licenses a card room or poker room of any kind. This says nothing about poker offered on Indian lands under a tribal compact, which depends on each tribe's own compact and is tracked under the tribal entry, nor about home games or social poker. | 2 sources

How we checked
These are the kinds of gambling we checked in Idaho. Four kinds of gambling legally exist here: the Lottery, charitable bingo and raffles, pari-mutuel racing, and tribal gaming. None of them has a confirmed self-exclusion route of its own. Six don't legally exist in Idaho outside tribal land: commercial casinos, online casino, sports betting, card rooms, skill-game machines and paid fantasy sports. Jackpocket, a lottery courier, lists Idaho as an available state and its Terms of Use mention a voluntary self-exclusion, though we haven't been able to confirm whether it applies to an Idaho account. The Idaho State Racing Commission's player protections stop at a helpline referral, and we found no way for a patron to ask to be excluded.
Idaho has no statewide self-exclusion program of any kind, and none of the gambling that is legal here has a confirmed self-exclusion route. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state.
How Idaho's programs fit together
Idaho has no statewide self-exclusion program, and we haven't confirmed a self-exclusion route for any of the gambling that is legal here.
What we know about each one
The Shoshone-Bannock Gaming Commission is the only entry here so far, and we haven't found a published self-exclusion form for it yet. We checked sbtribes.com and shobangaming.com and found general contact numbers and addresses for Shoshone-Bannock Casino Hotel, Bannock Peak, and Sage Hill, which you can call or write to ask how to ban yourself. We haven't finished checking the other three tribes' casinos, and we haven't found a self-exclusion route for the Idaho Lottery, horse racing, or bingo.
