How to enroll

1. 1 Online/account gambling (iLottery and online betting): activate self-exclusion in your account's responsible gambling tools or call Player Support at 1-800-288-2485

What to watch out for

Exclusion is split by channel: the online tool covers your iLottery/online account (1- or 5-year terms plus shorter timeouts of 24 hours to 9 months), while casino property exclusion (1 year, 5 years, or permanent) is done in person at Bally's security. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period; online access restores automatically when it expires. Forfeited winnings fund problem gambling programs under RI Gen. Laws 42-61.2-14.

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Rhode Island'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.
