The short answer

Indiana residents can self-exclude from gambling through Voluntary Exclusion Program (VEP), run by Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC). Exclusion periods: 1 year, 5 years or lifetime. Excludes enrollees from the gaming areas of all Indiana casinos and racinos; the IGC runs a separate Internet Self-Restriction Program (ISRP) that blocks mobile/online sports wagering accounts with all licensed operators for 1 or 5 years.

What to watch out for

1-year and 5-year enrollees are NOT automatically removed at term end; they must submit a written removal request and stay listed until the IGC accepts it. Lifetime enrollment can never be revoked. Casino VEP and the online sports wagering ISRP are separate sign-ups; enrolling in one does not enroll you in the other. Indiana helpline: 1-800-994-8448.

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Indiana'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.
