What to watch out for

Placement is lifetime, but you may petition for removal after 5 years on the list; if you are removed and later re-enroll, placement becomes permanent with no further removal. The DAP List covers casino gambling only, not sports betting; Missouri maintains a separate List of Self-Excluded Persons (SEP) for sports wagering with automatic removal after 5 years. State problem gambling helpline: 1-888-BETSOFF (1-888-238-7633).

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Missouri's program only binds operators licensed in the state — offshore sites and crypto casinos ignore it. The setup that holds is layered: self-exclusion plus a gambling blocker on your devices plus a gambling block on your bank card.
