Self-Exclusion From Sports Betting In KS

Sports betting is a legalized gambling activity in Kansas, with sports fans able to wager on a variety of sports markets like the NFL and MLB.

The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission oversees the new industry and fully promotes responsible gambling.

Players who take part in sports betting within Kansas have access to a voluntary exclusion program. The unique program allows players to cease gambling activity at local casinos. 

We expect the program to include sports betting once the new industry launches services.

Below is a simple guide on utilizing the self-exclusion program if you or a loved one have an issue with sports betting.

Signing up for the program ensures a player can take a break from wagering and focus on receiving help for any potential gambling problem.

Follow the steps below to sign up and remove yourself from the list after the time frame of exclusion has passed.
