Self-exclusion in Wyoming
How to put yourself on Wyoming's self-exclusion list, what it covers, and what it does not.
4 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
- Wyoming Gaming Commission Self-Exclusion Program: 'The Self-Exclusion program is established for the purpose of allowing persons who wish to refrain from sports wagering and other types of gambling regulated by the Commission, to notify the Commission that they will accept responsibility for refraining from engaging in sports wagering and other gambling activities regulated by the Commission and its Permittees.' Enrolment is handed to an outside service: 'Each person seeking placement into the Self-Exclusion Program may click on the link below for the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program.'gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers online betting
- Yes, for online sports wagering, which is the bulk of Wyoming's legal market. The Commission's online sports wagering rules define a 'Self-exclusion list' as 'a list of individuals who voluntarily excluded themselves from establishing or maintaining a sports wagering account with a sports wagering operator or sports wagering vendor', define a 'Voluntarily-excluded person' as anyone whose name is included at their own request 'in the responsible gaming database or on a self-exclusion list or both', and require operators to monitor compulsive or problem gambling and to have 'procedures for self-exclusion'.drive.google.com, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers casinos and shops
- The Commission describes the programme more broadly than sports betting — it covers 'sports wagering and other types of gambling regulated by the Commission' and its 'Permittees' — and the Commission regulates pari-mutuel wagering including live racing and historic horse racing, plus skill-based amusement games. But its self-exclusion page does not say which of those venues or permittees must actually honour the list, so treat historic horse racing terminals and skill-based machines as unconfirmed and ask the Commission before relying on a ban at either.gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Covers the lottery
- Not confirmed. The Commission's programme covers gambling 'regulated by the Commission', and the Wyoming Lottery Corporation (WyoLotto) is a separate body that the Commission does not regulate. We could not confirm whether any lottery self-exclusion exists in Wyoming. If lottery play is part of the problem, ask WyoLotto directly and do not assume a Gaming Commission exclusion reaches it. Check with Wyoming Gaming Commission, Energy II Building, 951 Werner Ct, Suite 335, Casper WY 82601; telephone 307.265.4015, fax 307.265.4279..gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- How long you can choose
- Not confirmed. The Commission's self-exclusion page states no term lengths at all, and we found none in its online sports wagering rules, which define the self-exclusion list but leave the terms to operators' procedures. The Commission instead directs people to the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program at nvsep.org, whose published text is generic rather than Wyoming-specific ('Options vary by state but typically include 1 year, 5 years, and lifetime'), so we will not record it as Wyoming's answer. Ask the Commission on 307-265-4015 what periods Wyoming actually offers before you enrol. Check with Wyoming Gaming Commission, Energy II Building, 951 Werner Ct, Suite 335, Casper WY 82601; telephone 307.265.4015, fax 307.265.4279..gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- Can it be undone
- Not confirmed. Neither the Commission's self-exclusion page nor its online sports wagering rules says whether a Wyoming exclusion can be ended early, who decides, or how. Ask the Commission on 307-265-4015, and get the answer in writing before enrolling if the possibility of coming back matters to you either way. Check with Wyoming Gaming Commission, Energy II Building, 951 Werner Ct, Suite 335, Casper WY 82601; telephone 307.265.4015, fax 307.265.4279..gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- What happens when it ends
- Not confirmed. Nothing on the Commission's self-exclusion page, and nothing we could find in its online sports wagering rules, says whether a Wyoming exclusion lapses by itself at the end of the term or stays in force until you ask to be removed. This is the field people most often get wrong, and the consequence of guessing is someone believing they are still barred when they are not, so we are leaving it unconfirmed rather than reasoning from what other states do. Ask the Wyoming Gaming Commission on 307-265-4015 to tell you in writing what happens on your end date, and diarise that date whatever they say. Check with Wyoming Gaming Commission, Energy II Building, 951 Werner Ct, Suite 335, Casper WY 82601; telephone 307.265.4015, fax 307.265.4279..gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
- How you sign up
- Through a third-party website rather than a Commission form. The Commission says each person seeking placement 'may click on the link below for the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program', and publishes no form, no postal address for enrolment and no in-person route on its self-exclusion page. If you would rather deal with the state directly, ring the Commission on 307-265-4015 and ask how to enrol without using the outside site.gaming.wyo.gov, checked 3 October 2026
Worth knowing before you start
Wyoming is the thinnest state record in this batch, and the reason matters. The Commission states that a self-exclusion programme exists and what it is for, but publishes none of the detail a person needs before signing: no term lengths, no removal process, and nothing on what happens when a term ends. Instead it points enrollees to an outside site, the National Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program at nvsep.org. We looked at that site and will not treat it as authority for Wyoming's rules: it is a script-driven application whose published text is written in general terms about what states 'typically' offer, alongside material about cruise lines and California card rooms, which is not the same thing as the Wyoming Gaming Commission telling you what you are agreeing to. So if you are in Wyoming, ring the Commission on 307-265-4015 before you enrol and ask four questions: what periods can I choose, does it end automatically or stay until I ask to come off, which gambling does it actually cover (online sportsbooks, historic horse racing terminals, skill-based machines), and will you confirm my enrolment in writing. Wyoming's legal market is online sports betting plus pari-mutuel and historic horse racing and skill-based amusement games, so an online-only exclusion may leave terminals open to you. Alongside whatever the Commission offers, the measures that do not depend on it are worth setting up: permanent account closure with each sportsbook, a blocker on every device, and a bank gambling block. Help lines the Commission itself lists: the National Problem Gambling Helpline 1-800-GAMBLER, the Wyoming Council on Problem Gambling 307-278-0766, and the Wyoming Department of Health 1-866-571-0944. Sourcing note: the Commission publishes its online sports wagering rules as a Google Drive document linked from gaming.wyo.gov/rules-and-regs; that document is the Commission's own and is where the self-exclusion definitions above were read.
Done? The rest of the hour: blockers, a bank block, closing the accounts, telling one person.
