MGM Resorts: self-limit at MGM casinos

Casino operator Run by MGM Resorts International.

MGM's Self-Limit form restricts credit, check cashing, rewards, gambling-related marketing and MGM-affiliated online play at MGM properties in the United States. It does not bar you from entering, and it still allows cash play at the tables and machines. Enrollment lasts at least one year and continues until MGM approves a withdrawal request.

What it blocks

The July 27, 2026 form lists MGM properties in MD, MA, MI, MS, NV, NJ and NY, affiliated online platforms, and future US properties. Macau and Cotai require separate requests. It permits cash casino play while restricting financial privileges, rewards, marketing and affiliated online play.

Self-exclusion programs do not all block the same things. Here is what the official rules say about each one.

How to enroll, how long it lasts, and the sources

Terms you can choose

Enrollment is a minimum of one year and continues until MGM approves a withdrawal request.

When it ends

This continues until a removal is granted.

The form states enrollment continues until MGM approves a withdrawal request, after a minimum of one year. Nothing ends on its own, and it is the approval rather than the request that ends it.

How to enroll

Open the MGM Self-Limit form.

Hand the completed form to the casino cage at any MGM Resorts property, where no notary is needed, or have it notarized — in person or online — and send it by email or mail.

  1. Complete the July 2026 form: name, date of birth, MGM Rewards number, contact details, and driver's license number, state and expiration. Sign and date it. We don't fill in or submit this form.
  2. Choose how you will submit. Handing it to the casino cage at any MGM Resorts property needs no notary. Email or mail requires a notarized form. MGM told us in writing that the notarization can be done online, by any U.S.-commissioned notary, and that you do not attach a copy of your ID.
  3. Email the notarized form to self-limit@mgmresorts.com, or mail it to MGM Resorts Responsible Gaming Corporate Compliance Department, Attn: Self-Limit, 71 E. Harmon Ave., Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
  4. Allow up to 14 days for processing. MGM emails you a confirmation once it has received and processed the form. Keep a copy of what you sent. If nothing arrives, ask for your status at self-limit@mgmresorts.com.

Before you count on it. This is a self-limit, not an entry ban: cash play and hotel stays remain allowed. Residency eligibility is not stated. Preparing or sending the form does not confirm enrollment. MGM's confirmation email is what tells you it is done.

Requirements and sources

Sources read 2026-09-25. These are the program's requirements, not a record of anyone's enrollment.

Terms available
Enrollment is a minimum of one year and continues until MGM approves a withdrawal request.
Can a resident enroll
Not verified: The form offers email, mail and casino-cage sign-up and does not state a residency requirement.
Can a visitor enroll
Not verified: You can hand the form in at any MGM casino cage, and the form does not state a residency rule for visitors.
Identification
The form requires identity/contact fields, including driver's license number, state and expiration. MGM Corporate Compliance answered in writing on 2026-09-24 that "A copy of an ID is not required when enrollment forms are notarized." What proof of identity the notary itself asks for is set by the notary's own jurisdiction and is not MGM's requirement.
Notarization
Notarization is required if the form is submitted via mail or email; delivery in person at the Casino Cage requires no notarization. MGM Corporate Compliance confirmed in writing on 2026-09-24 that the notarization may be performed "either in-person or online" and that "All U.S.-commissioned notaries are accepted to verify identity."
Witnesses
Not verified: No witness requirement is stated one way or the other.
Notarizing online
MGM Corporate Compliance confirmed in writing on 2026-09-24 that both email and mail submissions accept an online notarization: "Self-Limit Enrollment Forms will be accepted by e-mail as long the document is notarized, either in-person or online," and the same rule applies by mail. Any U.S.-commissioned notary is accepted ("All U.S.-commissioned notaries are accepted to verify identity"), so you do not need a Nevada notary. MGM's reply does not specify a particular online-notary vendor or certificate wording.
How long processing takes
Processing takes up to 14 days.
How you are told it took effect
MGM Corporate Compliance answered in writing on 2026-09-24: "A confirmation email is provided to the enrollees once the enrollment form has been received and processed. Confirmation requests can be submitted to self-limit@mgmresorts.com." The answer does not say how long after receipt the email arrives, and the form's separate up-to-14-day processing time is unchanged.

The form asks for: full name, date of birth, MGM Rewards number, mailing address, email address, telephone, driver's license number, state and expiration, guest signature and date.
