Self-exclusion in New Hampshire

How to put yourself on New Hampshire's self-exclusion list, what it covers, and what it does not.

2 of 12 things on this page could not be confirmed from an official source. They are marked, and each one says who to ask. We would rather leave a gap than fill it with a guess.

Programme: There are two things here and only one you can use today. In law, RSA 284:6-d 'Voluntary Statewide Self-Exclusion' (enacted 2025, effective 1 July 2025) requires that 'the commission shall establish a centralized voluntary statewide self-exclusion database for all forms of legal gaming throughout New Hampshire, through an agent selected through a competitive bid process and approved by the governor and executive council', and lets the commission 'adopt rules requiring vendors, agents, and entities licensed or registered under chapter 284, chapter 287-D, chapter 287-H, chapter 287-I, and chapter 287-J to participate'. In practice, what the New Hampshire Lottery publishes is a self-exclusion setting inside your own iLottery account.gc.nh.gov, checked 3 October 2026
Covers online betting: Yes for the Lottery's own online play, as an account setting rather than a state list: 'Self-exclusion includes both iLottery and My603Rewards in the NH Lottery app.'Read from an archived copy of the Lottery's own support article (the live URL returns HTTP 404 to automated requests; the archived article shows 'Modified on Mon, 3 Feb'). It says nothing about sportsbook apps — each sports betting operator runs its own programme, so excluding yourself from iLottery does not touch DraftKings or any other licensed sportsbook.faq.nhlottery.com (archived copy of ), checked 3 October 2026
Covers casinos and shops: Not confirmed. The Lottery's self-exclusion is described purely as a block on signing in to your iLottery account and My603Rewards. We found no published route to exclude yourself from New Hampshire's retail gambling — the charitable gaming halls, their historic horse racing terminals, or lottery tickets bought in shops. For historic horse racing, RSA 284:22-b only requires the licensee's own responsible gaming plan to include 'self-exclusion plans', i.e. the venue's scheme, with no terms stated. Ask the Lottery Commission whether the RSA 284:6-d statewide database is live yet. Check with New Hampshire Lottery Commission — it runs the lottery and iLottery and also regulates sports wagering (RSA 287-I) and charitable gaming, and it is the body RSA 284:6-d charges with building the statewide self-exclusion database..gc.nh.gov, checked 3 October 2026
Covers the lottery: Online lottery play only, as far as anything is published. For internet and mobile ticket sales, RSA 284:21-h, II(e) requires the lottery commission to provide '(4) A voluntary self-exclusion program for players to self-exclude themselves from wagering for set periods of time'. There is no equivalent requirement, and no published programme, for tickets bought over the counter.gc.nh.gov, checked 3 October 2026
How long you can choose: One, three or six months: 'Select the length of self-exclusion— one, three, or six months —from the drop-down menu.' There is no year or lifetime option in the iLottery account, and no statewide form offering longer terms.Read from an archived copy of the Lottery's own support article.faq.nhlottery.com (archived copy of ), checked 3 October 2026
Can it be undone: Not during the term: 'Once you've self-excluded, this cannot be undone until the selected time is complete.'Read from an archived copy of the Lottery's own support article.faq.nhlottery.com (archived copy of ), checked 3 October 2026
What happens when it ends: Not confirmed. The Lottery's article says only that the exclusion 'cannot be undone until the selected time is complete' and gives no step for the end of the term. It does not say whether your account reopens on its own at the end of one, three or six months, or whether you have to ask. Because the whole point of a block is knowing when it stops protecting you, confirm this with NH Lottery player support before you rely on it, and set your own calendar reminder for the end date. RSA 284:6-d, which would create a statewide database, states no terms or expiry rules at all. Check with New Hampshire Lottery Commission — it runs the lottery and iLottery and also regulates sports wagering (RSA 287-I) and charitable gaming, and it is the body RSA 284:6-d charges with building the statewide self-exclusion database..faq.nhlottery.com (archived copy of ), checked 3 October 2026
How you sign up: Inside your own account, in five steps, with no form, notary or appointment: sign in with your New Hampshire iLottery credentials, open the menu at 'Hi, (Your Name)', 'Select My Account to expand the menu further', 'Scroll down to Responsible Gambling and select Self-Exclusion', choose the length from the drop-down and click SUBMIT, then 'Select YES to confirm self-exclusion.' The same steps are given for mobile and desktop.Read from an archived copy of the Lottery's own support article.faq.nhlottery.com (archived copy of ), checked 3 October 2026

Start New Hampshire's form

Worth knowing before you start

Until the statewide database exists, New Hampshire is a per-product job and the sports betting half is run by the operators, not the state. The Lottery's sports wagering rules put it plainly: each agent's responsible gaming plan must include 'Options available for patrons to self-exclude from wagering' (Lot 3003.05), and each agent must 'report to the commission any information, including names, relative to the individuals on its self-exclusion list, so that such information can be used by the commission to create a central database of such individuals'. The rule sets no minimum or maximum length and no expiry rules, so whatever your sportsbook offers is what you get — get the term and the end date in writing from the app itself. Practically: set the iLottery exclusion in your account, set an exclusion in every sportsbook app you have used, and add a card or bank gambling block, which does not depend on any of these schemes.

Done? The rest of the hour: blockers, a bank block, closing the accounts, telling one person.
