How to ban yourself from FanDuel

To ban yourself from FanDuel, self-exclude inside your FanDuel account. Sign in to FanDuel. Open Responsible Gaming (or User Tools), then Self-Exclusion. Pick a length, enter your information and submit. Choose Self-Exclusion. Closing your account is different: support can reopen a closed account. Write down the date and any confirmation you get. On lengths, FanDuel's own pages say: "Select the number of years you'd like to set as your self-exclusion", "starting at 1 year"; the help article says durations vary by jurisdiction. The menu for a given state is not published outside the account. How FanDuel's self-exclusion ends is not verified. Not verified for FanDuel: 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 FanDuel

FanDuel — self-exclusion across FanDuel products

The company’s own exclusion Run by FanDuel (Betfair Interactive US LLC).

FanDuel's self-exclusion is set inside your signed-in account and, in FanDuel's words, applies to all your other eligible FanDuel products. Lengths and terms vary by state, starting at one year. Where a state runs a statewide program, FanDuel says its tool can enroll you in it. FanDuel does not name those states. After a period ends you may be able to log back in, or support may need to review the account. Closing (deactivating) an account is a different thing: support can reactivate it.

What it blocks

  • Online play. "You won't be able to log in to FanDuel until your Self-Exclusion period ends. Your upcoming Daily Fantasy entries will be canceled. Active and pending wagers will be settled according to state or provincial regulations."
  • Marketing and mailings. "Your email will be removed from promotional and marketing communications within 72 hours."

Terms you can choose

"Select the number of years you'd like to set as your self-exclusion", "starting at 1 year"; the help article says durations vary by jurisdiction. The menu for a given state is not published outside the account.

When it ends

Not verified.

A fixed term. "After your Self-Exclusion period ends, you may be able to reactivate your account by simply logging in. Some accounts require additional verification or review by our Support Team." Whether a given account reopens on its own is therefore not certain. Closing an account is separate and not an exclusion: "Deactivation is the same as permanently closing your account," yet "To reactivate your account, you'll need to contact our Customer Support team."

A lifetime term. Not verified: No FanDuel page read lists a lifetime self-exclusion term.

Requirements and sources

Sources read 2026-10-05. These are the program's requirements, not a record of anyone's enrollment.

What it covers
"Self-Exclusion is a long-term break that restricts access to your eligible FanDuel accounts for the time period you choose. If you Self-Exclude from one FanDuel product, your Self-Exclusion will apply to all your other eligible FanDuel products. Self-Exclusion options, durations, and terms vary by jurisdiction." Which products count as eligible in each state is not listed. On state lists, FanDuel's responsible-gaming page says: "you have the ability to exclude yourself from gaming with FanDuel or with all of the operators in your state," and "with other operators (when you sign up for a state-wide self-exclusion program)." It does not name the states where its tool reaches a statewide program, so for any one state that is not established.

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.
