Self-Exclusion Programs

Michigan residents can voluntarily block access to gambling sites and venues through the Michigan Gaming Control Board for a chosen period to help stay in control.

Set Limits

Decide ahead of time how much time and money you will spend gambling. Stick to these limits to protect yourself.

Key Reminder

Gambling should be fun and social. Never use money you cannot afford to lose.
