Get help staying away from casinos

If you have — or are at risk for developing — a gambling problem, and need help staying away from a casino in your neighborhood, you can enroll in the Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program.

Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program

Managed by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and GameSense, this program allows you to exclude yourself from the gaming floor of all Massachusetts casinos for a pre-determined length of time. To enroll, please contact a professional to set up an in-person appointment at any of the following locations:

• Gamesense Information Center
  Plainridge Park Casino, Plainville, MA
• Massachusetts Gaming Commission Voluntary Self-Exclusion Information
  Boston and Springfield, MA

Off-Site Locations: Available under certain circumstances

Contact Massachusetts Gaming Commission for an appointment.

At your appointment, you will meet with a professional who has been trained to handle requests for self-exclusion. They understand the difficult decision which you are making and will offer support to help you make a knowledgeable choice. During enrollment, you will need to show your government-issued identification, one that includes your signature and a photograph – e.g., a driver’s license, passport, or other identification. You will also sign the Voluntary Self-Exclusion Agreement and have your photograph taken.
