The short answer
To self-exclude from FanDuel, go to fanduel.com/playwithaplan → your product's tab → Self-Exclusion → "Set Self-Exclusion". You can choose a term you set in years, starting at 1 year or up to indefinite. Reversal: FanDuel's pages publish no early-cancel rule — you will be unable to access your gaming account for the period you set. If you chose the state-wide option, your state's removal rules apply; in New Jersey there is no early removal. Your FanDuel gaming account — or, via the same flow in some states, every licensed operator in your state. FanDuel's limits tooling treats Sportsbook, Fantasy, Casino and Racing as linked accounts.
How do I self-exclude from FanDuel?
- 1 Go to FanDuel's responsible-gaming hub at fanduel.com/playwithaplan and open the Self-Exclusion section
- 2 Click the yellow "Set Self-Exclusion" button and log in
- 3 Select the number of years for your exclusion — and, where your state offers it, choose the state-wide program that bans you from every operator in the state, not just FanDuel
Do it from the operator's own app or site — www.fanduel.com/playwithaplan is the official responsible-gaming page.

- Your FanDuel gaming account — or, via the same flow in some states, every licensed operator in your state. FanDuel's limits tooling treats Sportsbook, Fantasy, Casino and Racing as linked accounts.
Pick the longest term you can stomach. The delay before you can play again is the entire point — an urge cannot outlast it.
What about a shorter FanDuel timeout?
From fanduel.com/playwithaplan → Take A Timeout, pick any period between 3 and 365 days; you cannot log in until it ends. Options: 3 to 365 days. A timeout is a pause, not a ban — if you are reading this page after a bad night, take the self-exclusion instead.
How do I close my FanDuel account — and what happens to my money?
- 1 Contact FanDuel's Customer Support Team and request closure — you can do so at any time
Closure is a customer-service request; self-exclusion is a responsible-gaming lock with a 1-year minimum and an optional state-wide reach. Only the exclusion blocks you from coming back on a whim.
Is excluding from FanDuel enough on its own?
No — it bans you from one operator, and there are always more. FanDuel's own flow offers exclusion from all operators in your state where a state program exists; in New Jersey the DGE list can be joined online or through your player account and bans you from all NJ-licensed internet gaming. The setup that holds is layered: your state's self-exclusion program where one exists, a blocker on your devices, and a gambling block at your bank.
