Self-Exclusion From Sports Betting In TN

Since the fall of 2020, Tennessee has offered online sports betting services to players via mobile and desktop devices. The state is one of only a select few that provides online betting only with no option for land-based betting.

Players have access to top-rated providers, including DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM, among others. There are plenty of betting options on offer, including moneyline bets, props, parlay, and more.

Sports betting operators in Tennessee are expected to provide a safe and secure gambling environment for every player. As part of the service options, sportsbooks must provide a link for self-exclusion so that players can cut themselves off from services if a gambling addiction occurs. 

It is essential that players learn how to self-exclude so that the voluntary ban is efficiently used if a cut-off time is needed.

Check out the full self-exclusion process below if you or a loved one needs assistance with taking a break from online sports betting.

How Do I Get On A Self-Exclusion List In Tennessee?

Self-exclusion in Tennessee is bound to each operator. If you need to take a break from online sports betting, you must contact the operator for assistance.

• Log in to your online sports betting account. If you have more than one account in the state, be sure to complete the process with each operator.
• Contact support to inquire about the self-exclusion process.
• Support will point you in the right direction, either setting you up for self-exclusion or giving you access to forms to fill out for a voluntary ban.

What Will Happen After I Sign Up For A Self-exclusion List?

After you have signed up for self-exclusion via a Tennessee sports betting operator, the provider sends your information to other sportsbooks.

The lists must also be sent to the Tennessee Education Lottery in monthly reports. The request for self-exclusion cannot be reversed and must last for the allotted time frame.

How Do I Get Off A Self-Exclusion List In Tennessee?

Since there is no official self-exclusion list for the entire state, you will need to see what each sportsbook requires for you to be removed from the list.

In most cases, you must complete the time selected before you can access sports betting again. Check with support at each sportsbook you use to know how to get off the list when you are ready.

What Will Happen After I Get Off A Self-exclusion List?
