- 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

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 pageAvailable 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.
