Self-exclusion in North Dakota
How to put yourself on North Dakota's self-exclusion list, what it covers, and what it does not.
1 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
- None. North Dakota has no statewide self-exclusion list. The Attorney General's Gaming division — which 'regulates, enforces and administers charitable gaming in North Dakota' and enforces the tribal-state gaming compacts for casino gaming on tribal lands — says nothing about self-exclusion, voluntary exclusion or problem gambling support on its gaming page.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers online betting
- Not confirmed. There is no state programme to cover anything, and neither the Attorney General's gaming page nor the North Dakota Lottery mentions online betting or exclusion from it, so we could not confirm anything on this point. If you gamble online, the levers that work are operator account closures and a card or bank gambling block, not a state list. Check with North Dakota Attorney General's Office, Gaming division (charitable gaming; audits, investigations and tribal-state gaming compacts). The North Dakota Lottery is run separately by the Attorney General's Office as well, but publishes no exclusion scheme..attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers casinos and shops
- No state list covers it. The gambling the Attorney General's Gaming division licenses is charitable gaming — bingo, pull tabs, electronic pull tabs, electronic quick shot bingo, paddlewheel, poker, twenty-one, raffles and sports pools, run by licensed nonprofit organisations — and no self-exclusion scheme is published for any of it. The state's casinos are on tribal land and operate under tribal-state gaming compacts rather than under a state licence.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers the lottery
- No. The North Dakota Lottery describes no self-exclusion programme. Its only problem gambling line is 'If gambling is no longer fun call 2-1-1, contact GamblerND in North Dakota or Gamblers Anonymous', alongside budgeting tools to 'control the amount of money and time they're spending'.lottery.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- How long you can choose
- None exist, because there is no statewide programme to join.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Can it be undone
- Not applicable — there is no state exclusion to reverse.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- What happens when it ends
- Not applicable — there is no state exclusion, so nothing expires and nothing continues.If a tribal casino puts you on its own exclusion list, the term and what happens at the end of it are that casino's to set. Ask for both in writing, because no state register stands behind it.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- How you sign up
- There is no state enrolment. Nothing on the Attorney General's gaming pages offers a form, an office or a process for excluding yourself.attorneygeneral.nd.gov, checked 3 October 2026
Worth knowing before you start
North Dakota is a 'no state list' state, so the useful answer is what to do instead. The casinos are tribal, each with its own rules: ask that casino's security or responsible gaming desk to put you on its exclusion list, and ask what it covers and how long it lasts, because an exclusion at one casino does not reach another and the state keeps no central register of them. The charitable gaming sites (bingo halls, pull tab and electronic pull tab locations in bars) have no exclusion scheme at all, so the practical blocks there are a card or bank gambling block and not carrying cash. For online betting, close each account with the operator rather than deactivating it. Free help in state: dial 2-1-1, or GamblerND.
Done? The rest of the hour: blockers, a bank block, closing the accounts, telling one person.
