Michigan gambling self-exclusion programs

Official Michigan self-exclusion options for Detroit commercial casinos, internet gaming, and internet sports betting, with their separate scope and rules.

Michigan Gaming Control Board

Disassociated Persons List

The state list for the three Detroit commercial casinos. It is separate from Michigan’s internet-gaming and sports-betting database.

What it covers

  • The three Detroit commercial casinos
  • Detroit casino gaming access covered by the Michigan statute and current program materials

Not covered or not established

  • The 12 federally recognized tribal casino operators in Michigan
  • Michigan internet gaming or internet sports betting
  • Lottery, horse racing, or fantasy contests

How to enroll

  1. Make an in-person appointment at the MGCB Detroit Cadillac Place or Lansing office.
  2. Bring the identification required by the current application.

Program contact: 888-223-3044; Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Eastern

Open the official MGCB self-exclusion forms page

Available terms

  • Initial placement is for life
  • A removal request is permitted only after at least five years

Ending or removing the exclusion

A removal request can take up to 60 business days according to the current FAQ. The person remains listed until written confirmation, and an individual casino may continue its own eviction.

Before you submit

  • Entering the gaming floor or another prohibited area of a covered Detroit casino while listed can have trespass and winnings-confiscation consequences under current Michigan law.
  • Verify a tribal casino’s own exclusion program separately.

Michigan Gaming Control Board

Internet Gaming and Sports Betting Responsible Gaming Database

A separate database for MGCB-authorized Michigan internet gaming, internet sports betting, or both.

What it covers

  • MGCB-authorized Michigan internet gaming when selected
  • MGCB-authorized Michigan internet sports betting when selected

Not covered or not established

  • Detroit commercial casino entry
  • Tribal casinos
  • Lottery, horse racing, or fantasy contests
  • Products, properties, affiliates, or jurisdictions outside the state program unless an operator separately extends the restriction

How to enroll

  1. Choose internet gaming, internet sports betting, or both on the current application.
  2. Submit in person, or use the current notarized application’s email or postal instructions.
  3. Include the legible government-issued photo identification required by the current application, using only its official submission instructions.
  4. Do not assume the exclusion is active until MGCB sends written confirmation.

Program contact: MGCB-RGD@michigan.gov or MGCB Responsible Gaming Section, 3062 W Grand Blvd, Suite L-700, Detroit, MI 48202

Open the official MGCB self-exclusion forms page

Available terms

  • One year
  • Five years

Ending or removing the exclusion

The selected term cannot be ended early. The current FAQ says it expires automatically.

Before you submit

  • MGCB’s current sources use differing processing-time wording, so this page does not promise an activation deadline.
  • An operator may apply a broader restriction under its own policy; that broader scope is not guaranteed by the state database.

Also request self-exclusion from each operator

A state program may not cover every account, brand, affiliate, or jurisdiction. This copyable request is an additional operator step; it does not enroll you in the official state program above. Send it only through the operator's current official contact route.

Self-Exclusion Request

Request the exclusion period and scope you want

This template is not pre-addressed. Use the platform’s current official contact route and confirm where this request should be sent.

Subject
Self-Exclusion Request - [Operator name]
Email body
Dear [Operator name] Support Team, I am requesting formal self-exclusion from [Operator name] for [choose a duration from the current policy]. This is a self-exclusion request, not an ordinary account closure or temporary timeout. Please explain which products, brands, accounts, and jurisdictions the exclusion covers; when it becomes effective; how any remaining balance and pending wagers will be handled; and whether I must also enroll in a regulator or state program. Please remove me from direct gambling marketing where your current policy permits. If identity verification is required, send the official secure verification route. I will not send passwords, full payment details, or identity documents in an ordinary support message or email. Please confirm the start date, end date if any, whether it can be changed early, and provide a reference number. Thank you for your cooperation. Best regards, [Your Name]
  • Send from the email address on your [Operator name] account
  • Keep a copy of your sent email for your records
