Gambling self-exclusion in Ohio

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

Ohio runs one combined statewide list, Time Out Ohio (the "Ohio Voluntary Exclusion Program"), run jointly by the Casino Control Commission and the Lottery Commission. One online sign-up at timeout.ohio.gov covers Ohio's 4 commercial casinos, all 7 racinos (video lottery terminal facilities), and all online, mobile, retail and lottery-kiosk sports betting. There's no paper form to download. You sign up online or in person with Commission staff, and you need a government ID, your full Social Security number and a live photo. Nothing we read, from the law to the sign-up steps, asks for a notary or a witness. None of the three terms (1 year, 5 years, lifetime) ends on its own. You have to ask to come off the list once the minimum has passed. Coming off a lifetime ban also takes at least 5 years enrolled and the program's own problem-gambling education course. Fantasy contests aren't part of Time Out Ohio. State law requires each fantasy company to honor your request to restrict yourself, but there's no shared list and no published contact for any company, so we don't have a way for you to do it yet. We found no self-exclusion on the regulator pages we read for Ohio's draw and scratch lottery, horse racing, skill-based amusement machines, or charitable gaming (bingo, pull-tabs, raffles). We found no tribal casino in Ohio, and Ohio isn't on the National Indian Gaming Commission's June 2025 list of states with gaming tribes. That list can't promise there are none. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state. We don't know yet whether people who live outside Ohio can sign up.
