The short answer

To self-exclude from Underdog Fantasy, go to app: Responsible gaming limits → Exclusion tab; website: the Self-exclusion tab in your account. You can choose fantasy: 3 months, 6 months, 1, 3, 5 or 10 years, NC sportsbook: 1, 3, 5 or 10 years or lifetime. Reversal: Underdog's terms document no early-removal path — treat an exclusion as locked for its full term. Anything you deposit or win during the period is voided or forfeited, so there is nothing to come back for anyway. During the period you cannot open another account, deposit, enter contests, win prizes or receive bonuses; deposits made during exclusion are voided and winnings forfeited. Real-money deposits in the account at enrollment are refunded within 5 business days.

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 Underdog Fantasy timeout?

Shorter cool-offs exist alongside deposit, entry and time limits, set from the same responsible-gaming section; Underdog does not publish the duration choices on its fetchable pages — check in-app. 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 Underdog Fantasy account — and what happens to my money?

1 Email [email protected] saying you wish to terminate your account — there is no self-serve delete flow
2 Withdraw your balance before or when closing (withdrawals pass identity checks first)

Your balance: You may close and withdraw your balance at any time, subject to verification checks.

Termination is an email to support; self-exclusion carries the play, deposit and winnings prohibitions. The exclusion is the one with teeth.

Is excluding from Underdog Fantasy enough on its own?

No — it bans you from one operator, and there are always more. Underdog is a partial exception to the DFS-outside-state-programs rule: it links Pennsylvania players to the PGCB's fantasy-contest self-exclusion and NC sportsbook users to the state lottery commission's database — elsewhere, only Underdog's in-app exclusion applies. 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.
