How to ban yourself from DraftKings

To ban yourself from DraftKings, self-exclude inside your DraftKings account. Sign in to DraftKings. Open Responsible Gaming, then Breaks, then Self-Exclusion. Pick a length and submit the form. DraftKings logs you out when it is done. Write down the date and any confirmation you get. On lengths, DraftKings' own pages say: Help article durations: "3 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 6 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 1 Year 3 years 5 Years Lifetime" with "You'll see all options defined by your jurisdiction when setting the self-exclusion period." Which lengths a given state offers is not published outside the account. At DraftKings, a fixed term ends on its own at the end of the term; a lifetime term has no published way to lift it. Not verified for DraftKings: how you are told it took effect. Keep the state steps in your plan. Whether this reaches your state’s own list depends on the state, and most apps don’t say.

Self-exclusion at DraftKings

DraftKings — self-exclusion across every DraftKings product

The company’s own exclusion Run by DraftKings Inc.

DraftKings runs one self-exclusion for every product it operates: Sportsbook, Casino, Golden Nugget Online Gaming, daily fantasy and Pick6, DK Horse / DraftKings Racing, DraftKings Predictions and the Jackpocket lottery courier. You set it inside your signed-in account, it applies in every state, and DraftKings says it cannot shorten a period once set. In Connecticut, Kansas and Kentucky (racing) DraftKings says the request can also reach the state's list; elsewhere it does not say so.

What it blocks

  • Online play. During the period: "You can't log into your DraftKings account. You can't make any deposits. You can't enter fantasy sports contests. You can't make any sports wagers. You can't play in any casino games." Open DraftKings Predictions positions cannot be sold during the period.
  • Marketing and mailings. "You won't be sent any direct marketing from DraftKings."

Terms you can choose

Help article durations: "3 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 6 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 1 Year 3 years 5 Years Lifetime" with "You'll see all options defined by your jurisdiction when setting the self-exclusion period." Which lengths a given state offers is not published outside the account.

When it ends

A fixed term ends on its own at the end of the term; a lifetime term has no published way to lift it.

A fixed term. "After the self-exclusion period, your account will be available for regular use again." "Once a self-exclusion period is set, DraftKings isn't permitted to shorten that period." In Connecticut, the DCP list keeps a person excluded "until their self-exclusion period expires and they request removal from the list."

A lifetime term. Lifetime is one of the listed durations. Neither page describes any way to remove it, and DraftKings says it cannot shorten a set period.

How to enroll

Open DraftKings’ self-exclusion steps.

You self-exclude inside your signed-in DraftKings account. The help page explains how. Opening it changes nothing.

  1. Sign in to DraftKings.
  2. Open Responsible Gaming, then Breaks, then Self-Exclusion.
  3. Pick a length and submit the form. DraftKings logs you out when it is done.
  4. Write down the date and any confirmation you get.

Before you count on it. Keep the state steps in your plan. Whether this reaches your state’s own list depends on the state, and most apps don’t say.

Every route we checked

Routes that enroll you

  • Online — DraftKings Responsible Gaming Center, Breaks, Self-Exclusion (rg.draftkings.com/breaks/self-exclusion), signed in
    The page is a submission form behind sign-in: "By submitting this form, you will be self-excluded from every DraftKings product" and the button reads "Log In To Self-Exclude." After a successful submission "you will be logged out immediately." The page opens in a browser.
Requirements and sources

Sources read 2026-10-22. These are the program's requirements, not a record of anyone's enrollment.

What it covers
DraftKings' self-exclusion page: "By submitting this form, you will be self-excluded from every DraftKings product, including Golden Nugget Online Gaming (GNOG), DFS and Pick6, DK Horse / DraftKings Racing, DraftKings Predictions, and Jackpocket lottery courier, in all locations." Its help article: "once you self-exclude in one location, your self-exclusion applies everywhere." Relationship to state lists, in DraftKings' own words: in Connecticut, "individuals that exclude themselves from daily fantasy sports through DraftKings' website in Connecticut will also be added to the self-exclusion list maintained by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection"; in Kansas, sportsbook self-excluders "may also be added to the self-exclusion list maintained by the KRGC"; for Kentucky residents who use DraftKings Horse or Racing, the request is a request "to be added to the Kentucky Horse Racing and Gaming Commission (KHRGC) Voluntary Self-Exclusion List." For Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Iowa the page only points to the state program. For every other state it says nothing about a state list, so whether a DraftKings exclusion reaches one there is not established.
Entering the property
Not verified: This is an online account tool. The operator's pages do not say whether it reaches any retail sportsbook counter or land casino. New Hampshire is one confirmed instance: the NH Lottery and Gaming Commission's Director of Sports Betting confirmed in writing on 2026-10-22 that a single DraftKings self-exclusion request there covers both the mobile app and NH Sportsbook retail locations. Retail sportsbooks in other states run under their own arrangements with DraftKings, so New Hampshire's answer does not establish this nationally; the status here stays unknown.
Betting and winnings
Not verified: Not addressed; the tool governs the online account.
Credit, check cashing and rewards
Not verified: Deposits are blocked (see online). No credit or check-cashing provision applies to an online account, and none is described.
Online play
During the period: "You can't log into your DraftKings account. You can't make any deposits. You can't enter fantasy sports contests. You can't make any sports wagers. You can't play in any casino games." Open DraftKings Predictions positions cannot be sold during the period.
Marketing and mailings
"You won't be sent any direct marketing from DraftKings."
Terms available
Help article durations: "3 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 6 Months (Fantasy Sports only, excluding Connecticut (CT) patrons). 1 Year 3 years 5 Years Lifetime" with "You'll see all options defined by your jurisdiction when setting the self-exclusion period." Which lengths a given state offers is not published outside the account.
Can a resident enroll
"Any DraftKings account holder can self-exclude." The tool needs a DraftKings account; no route for a person without one was found.
Can a visitor enroll
Account-based, not residence-based: "Any DraftKings account holder can self-exclude," and an exclusion set in one location "applies everywhere."
Identification
Not verified: The request is made from a signed-in account ("Log In To Self-Exclude"); no separate identity step is described.
Notarization
Not verified: Not mentioned on either page.
Witnesses
Not verified: Not mentioned on either page.
Notarizing online
Not verified: The operator's tool runs inside a signed-in account; no source mentions notarization, so online notarization does not arise on the route found.
How long processing takes
Immediate: "After you successfully self-exclude, you will be logged out immediately."
How you are told it took effect
Not verified: No source says whether DraftKings sends a confirmation email or other written record.

Your state’s list is separate

Banning yourself inside an app only blocks that one app. Your state’s self-exclusion list is a separate program with its own form, and combining both gives you much stronger protection.

Find your state

Even one phone call or form makes a real difference when an urge hits. Our free plan gathers the forms for the states you pick, tells you which ones need a notary, and keeps track of what you finish. The letters it writes are filled in from your details. Everything stays in your browser, with no account.
