works.

← Self-exclusion in the US

Signing up

You sign up with a form.

What you need

• Completed RGD Application
• Application must be notarized (if not done in person)

How long it lasts

You choose: 1 year, 5 years.

When it starts

Written confirmation by email of placement in the RGD, which could take up to 45 days from application submission

Can it end early?

No. Once it's on, it runs its full length, and that's the point: an urge lasts minutes. Your name will be removed automatically when the selected self-exclusion time expires.

Where it can miss

Covers licensed Michigan operators; separate in-person Disassociated Persons List needed for Detroit casinos. Individual websites/apps offer their own self-exclusion.

Verified November 2026 from michigan.gov. Things change: if a step is out of date, tell us at hello@youvsthehouse.com and we'll re-check it.

Belt and braces

Michigan Internet Gaming Self-Exclusion covers licensed operators. Unlicensed sites ignore it. Add a bank gambling block and a blocker on the phone, and the gap closes.

Get You vs The House

Blocks 700,000+ betting sites including the ones no register covers, and keeps track of your exclusions.
