The short answer

Florida has no statewide voluntary self-exclusion program. The Florida Gaming Control Commission's exclusion list is enforcement-based (involuntary), not a self-exclusion signup. Instead, each land-based operator runs its own program, typically 6 months up to lifetime. First move: Enroll at Seminole Hard Rock casinos — their program also covers Hard Rock Bet online.

What can I do instead in Florida?

Florida has no statewide voluntary self-exclusion program. The Florida Gaming Control Commission's exclusion list is enforcement-based (involuntary), not a self-exclusion signup. Instead, each land-based operator runs its own program, typically 6 months up to lifetime.

  1. 1 Enroll at Seminole Hard Rock casinos — their program also covers Hard Rock Bet online.
  2. 2 Enroll separately at each pari-mutuel slot facility or cardroom you use.
  3. 3 Call the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling's 24/7 helpline, 888-ADMIT-IT (888-236-4848) — they walk you through the available operator programs and money-access restriction tools.

Is self-exclusion enough on its own in Florida?

With no statewide list to join, the gaps in Florida are wider, not narrower — operator-by-operator bans miss anything you have not thought of, and offshore sites ignore all of it. The setup that holds is layered: self-exclusion, plus a ban inside each betting app you hold, plus a gambling blocker on your devices plus a gambling block on your bank card. For the full walkthrough, start with our self-exclusion guide or the complete guide to quitting gambling.

Gambling across the Florida line?

A state program only binds operators licensed in that state. If you drive to a casino or bet on an app registered next door, you need that state's ban too.

Frequently asked questions

Does Florida have a gambling self-exclusion program?
No. Florida runs no statewide voluntary self-exclusion program you can sign up for. That does not leave you without options — see below.
What can I do instead in Florida?

Is there any statewide list I can put my name on in Florida?
Not a voluntary one. Where Florida keeps an exclusion list at all it is enforcement-run — a regulator bars someone, it is not a form you fill in. The bans that work here are the ones you set up operator by operator, plus blocking software and a bank gambling block.
Does anything protect me from offshore and crypto gambling sites?
No self-exclusion scheme does, in any state. Offshore and crypto casinos ignore them entirely, which is why a gambling blocker app and a bank gambling block matter more in Florida than almost anywhere else.

Florida runs no statewide program. These layers still work.

Cashout bans you at the operators directly, blocks betting apps and sites on your phone, sets up a gambling block at your bank where one exists, and hands you a panic button for the urges in between. Launching soon on iOS; the waitlist gets in first.
