How to self-exclude from FanDuel
On FanDuel you self-exclude by signing in, opening the Responsible Gaming or User Tools section and choosing Self-Exclusion. It applies to all your eligible FanDuel products, and the durations vary by jurisdiction. For a shorter break, a Timeout runs 3 to 365 days in most states.
Steps to self-exclude
- Sign in to your FanDuel account.
- Open the Responsible Gaming or User Tools section.
- Select Self-Exclusion.
- Select your self-exclusion period, enter your information and submit.
FanDuel notes that navigation and available options vary by product and jurisdiction, and that self-exclusion options, durations and terms vary by jurisdiction. It does not publish one list of durations.
What happens next
- You cannot log in until the period ends, and self-exclusion from one FanDuel product applies to your other eligible FanDuel products.
- Upcoming daily fantasy entries are canceled.
- Active and pending wagers are settled according to state or provincial rules.
- Your email is removed from promotional communications within 72 hours.
- Afterward, you may be able to reactivate by logging in; some accounts need extra verification or support review.

Limits and the cooling-off wait
Deposit, loss, wager, time and contest limits apply across all FanDuel products. A lower limit starts at once. A higher limit waits out a cooling-off period: for most states 72 hours for a daily limit, 7 days for weekly and 30 days for monthly; for Massachusetts or Indiana residents, or if you are physically in Louisiana, 90 days. A reality check pop-up can appear every 15 or 30 minutes.
Block every betting site, not just one
FanDuel's tools stop FanDuel. To cover other sportsbooks on iPhone, read how to block gambling sites and apps on iPhone. Watchover filters gambling sites in every browser and notifies someone you trust if protection is switched off. State-run lists are in self-exclusion by state.
Help
FanDuel's Responsible Gaming page lists the National Problem Gambling Helpline as 1-800-GAMBLER. NCPG now runs that helpline as 1-800-MY-RESET (call or text).
If gambling is hurting you or someone close to you. Free, confidential help is available at any hour. Call or text 1-800-MY-RESET, or chat online at 1800myreset.org. It is the National Problem Gambling Helpline run by the National Council on Problem Gambling, and it is open 24/7 (checked 9 November 2026). Some state agencies and operators still print 1-800-GAMBLER; NCPG stopped operating that number after a court ruling on 29 September 2025, so use 1-800-MY-RESET to reach the national helpline. Worldwide support is also at gamblingtherapy.org. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
