Build my plan

The plan has no enrollment steps for North Dakota 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 North Dakota

One self-exclusion list rarely blocks every kind of gambling. Here is what we found for each type of gambling in this state.

What we found for each gambling type in North Dakota
Gambling typeWhat we foundSources
commercial casino — land-based commercial (non-tribal) casinosNo program foundWhat we checked: North Dakota state law: the Legislative Assembly may not authorize commercial casino gaming (Constitution Art. XI, Sec. 25). Tribal casinos under IGRA compacts are a separate category and are not covered by this finding.
Why

Rejected 2026-10-01. Article XI, Section 25 of the North Dakota Constitution (https://ndlegis.gov/constit/a11.pdf): 'The legislative assembly shall not authorize any game of chance, lottery, or gift enterprises, under any pretense, or for any purpose whatever.' The only exceptions are a multistate lottery and games of chance run by bona fide nonprofit organizations whose entire net proceeds go to public-spirited uses, which is the NDCC 53-06.1 scheme. So there is no state-licensed commercial casino scheme, and no self-exclusion program can exist for one. HCR 3002 (2025), which would have amended Section 25 to authorize sports betting, failed on second reading 24 to 70, and the November 3, 2026 ballot guide lists no gambling measure. Scope is the state's own regulatory scheme only; tribal casinos operate under federal-law compacts and are the separate tribal category.

skill games / amusement devicesNo program foundWhat we checked: North Dakota's own amusement-device licensing scheme, NDCC chapter 53-04 administered by the Attorney General. The license expressly does not reach any machine that may constitute a lottery, and such machines are confiscable and criminal, so the scheme has no gambling for a self-exclusion program to restrict. It is not a claim about how a cash-payout device marketed as skill-based would be classified, which no official source found addresses. Electronic pull-tab devices, electronic quick shot bingo and electronic fifty-fifty raffle systems are licensed under the charitable-gaming scheme and belong to that separate category; tribal gaming machines run under IGRA compacts and belong to the tribal category.
Why

North Dakota's amusement-device license expressly does not reach gambling machines, so the licensing scheme contains no player-exclusion provision and cannot contain one. The Attorney General licenses anyone who operates, leases or distributes amusement games and devices under NDCC chapter 53-04, and the definition in 53-04-01(1) covers coin-operated games 'whether or not they show a score, but does not apply to any machine which may constitute a lottery under the laws of this state'. Section 53-04-05 lets the Attorney General confiscate machines primarily designed for gambling, and the criminal code draws the same line from the other side: NDCC 12.1-28-01(2) provides that 'Gambling apparatus does not include an amusement game or device as defined in section 53-04-01', while 12.1-28-02(3)(e) makes maintaining a coin-operated gaming device part of the class C felony of engaging in the business of gambling. Article XI, Section 25 bars the Legislative Assembly from authorizing games of chance outside the multistate lottery and nonprofit games of chance, so no licensed gambling-device sector can be created for a program to attach to. One edge is deliberately left open: no official source found states how a cash-payout device marketed as a game of skill would be classified, NDCC 12.1-28-01(1)(a) exempts lawful contests of skill from the definition of gambling, and the Attorney General's cumulative opinion index contains no opinion on the question. The finding is therefore confined to the state's own amusement-device licensing scheme and is not a finding about charitable-gaming electronic devices or tribal machines.

How we checked

These are the kinds of gambling we checked. The list may not include every way to gamble in the state.

We found no self-exclusion program in North Dakota law, at the state Lottery, or on the tribal casino sites we looked at. The state constitution allows only a multistate lottery and games of chance run by nonprofits, so outside tribal land, gambling is limited to charitable gaming (regulated by the Attorney General's Gaming Division), the State Lottery and horse racing. None of the laws or rules for those has a self-exclusion a player can start. A charitable-gaming organization may bar a person from playing at its site at its own discretion, and the Racing Commission can exclude a patron only for cause. All five casino tribes' compacts were amended effective December 19, 2022. The Spirit Lake compact allows sports betting and mobile gaming of every authorized game on the reservation, and it has no self-exclusion provision. 4 Bears, Prairie Knights, Spirit Lake and Sky Dancer have no self-exclusion or responsible-gaming page. Dakota Magic has a resources-only page, and its sportsbook FAQ bars 'Persons on any exclusion list' without saying how to get on one. The Racing Commission's responsible-gambling page has no exclusion process. No source addresses fantasy sports. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state. There may still be a route inside a company's own process that we didn't see.
