What to watch out for

The state list covers online sports wagering only; to self-exclude from fantasy sports you must opt in with each fantasy sports licensee separately, and lottery play is not covered. Fixed terms end automatically; the lifetime option is irrevocable. Support resources are at vtgamblinghelp.org.

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

Vermont'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.
