Tennessee: online and mobile sports betting

Terms you can choose

One, three or five years. The application, read 2026-10-01, has a required field "I wish to cease all online sports wagering activities for the timeframe selected below" with the options 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. Rule 1350-01 specifies no durations itself, and §(12)(d) lets a licensee override the requested period and exclude permanently, so the term you pick binds the Council's list and not necessarily an individual operator.

When it ends

Not verified.

Not established. The Council's application offers terms of 1, 3 or 5 years (read 2026-10-01), but no source says whether the listing ends by itself when the term does, or whether you must ask. The only removal route the rule describes is for someone who believes they were placed on a list inadvertently: that person 'may request the application for removal from the Council,' and 'submission of the application for removal does not guarantee removal.' No source states what standard the Council applies, and a licensee may separately choose to exclude you permanently from its own platforms regardless of the period you asked for. Do not assume your name comes off on a particular date until the Council tells you so.

How to enroll

Start the self-exclusion application on the Council's site.

This opens the Sports Wagering Council's own online application. The Council's FAQ names it as the way onto the statewide list across all Tennessee sportsbooks. It asks for your Social Security number, your driver's license number, a photo of the license and a selfie of you holding it, and you choose a term of 1, 3 or 5 years. Opening the page does not exclude you. No source describes a receipt, a confirmation or a processing time, so submit it and write down the date.

1. Open the Council's self-exclusion application at tn.gov/swac/forms/self-exclusion.html. This is the route the Council's own FAQ names for getting onto the statewide list across all Tennessee sportsbooks.
2. Fill in what the application asks for: your name, Social Security number, home address, date of birth, home phone, driver's license number and state, and email. Choose a term of 1 year, 3 years or 5 years. Check the box that says you have read and agree to the terms, then upload a photo of your driver's license and a selfie of you holding it. The Council's page says you are opting out of all online sports wagering with all operators licensed in Tennessee for that term. The application has no notary step, and neither it nor Rule 1350-01 says whether one is needed.
3. Submit it. Neither Rule 1350-01 nor any Council page describes a processing time or a confirmation, so a submitted application is a submitted application. Follow up at SWAC.TN@tn.gov, the Council's published general inquiries address, and ask whether you were added. That mailbox is for questions; it is not published as a way to enroll.
4. Consider also self-excluding directly with each licensed sportsbook through its own application — the Council states bettors can do this too. That reaches the sportsbook you apply to. A licensee may separately choose to exclude you permanently across its own platforms regardless of the period you requested.
5. Coming off the list: the rule describes a removal application only for someone who believes they were placed on a list inadvertently. You request that application from the Council, and the rule says submitting it does not guarantee removal. The application offers terms of 1, 3 or 5 years, but no source says what happens when the term ends, so do not assume your name comes off on a particular date.

Before you count on it. The Council's application asks for your Social Security number, your driver's license number, a photo of the license and a selfie holding it, and you pick a term of 1, 3 or 5 years. No source says what happens when the term ends, so do not count on your name coming off by itself. The application shows no notary step, and no source says whether notarization is wanted. Its own warning says a casino, online operator or sportsbook may use your Tennessee ban to bar you from all of its land-based properties and all of its online games and sportsbooks, even in other states, and you could lose rewards points. A licensee may choose to exclude you permanently from its own platforms regardless of the period you asked for. Removal is described only for someone who believes they were listed inadvertently, by an application requested from the Council that the rule says does not guarantee removal. No processing time and no confirmation are published, so nothing tells you when the exclusion takes effect. This list covers Interactive Sports Gaming only. It does not reach fantasy sports contests, which take a separate request with each operator, and no reviewed source says it reaches the lottery, casino-style gambling or racing. Whether someone living outside Tennessee may apply is not established. The Council's email address SWAC.TN@tn.gov and its mailing address at 312 Rosa L. Parks Avenue are published for general questions, not as ways to apply. Opening the application, or filling it in, does not by itself mean you are excluded.
