The short answer

Hawaii has no statewide gambling self-exclusion program — there is no single list to put your name on. Because no gambling is legal, Hawaii has no gaming regulator and no self-exclusion program. Residents struggling with gambling are typically using offshore online sites or making trips to Las Vegas.

Is self-exclusion enough on its own in Hawaii?

With no statewide list to join, the gaps in Hawaii 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 blocker that locks betting apps on your phone plus a block on gambling transactions at your bank. For the full walkthrough, start with our self-exclusion guide or the complete guide to quitting gambling.

Gambling across the Hawaii 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.

Or compare every US state's program side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Does Hawaii have a gambling self-exclusion program?
No. Hawaii 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 Hawaii?
1. Call or text the National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-MY-RESET (1-800-697-3738) — free, confidential, 24/7. 2. Install blocking software such as Gamban, GamBlock, or BetBlocker. 3. Self-exclude directly with the Nevada casino companies you visit.
Is there any statewide list I can put my name on in Hawaii?
Not a voluntary one. Where Hawaii 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 Hawaii than almost anywhere else.

Hawaii runs no statewide program. These layers still work.
