Use help routes before casino, bonus, payout or review pages when gambling feels hard to stop.
Responsible Gambling Florida:
Help, Limits, Self-Exclusion and Family Support
If gambling is causing stress, chasing, repeated deposits, payout pressure, family concern or loss of control, use Florida support first. This guide separates Playwise, 888-ADMIT-IT, 1-800-MY-RESET, self-exclusion, account limits, family support, scam reporting and state support routes before any casino, bonus or review page.
Deposit limits, time-outs and account tools can help, but they do not certify that gambling is under control.
If a payout delay creates chasing, repeated deposits or stress, treat it as a support issue first.

Florida self-exclusion: what to check before you rely on it
| Question | What to verify | Evidence to save |
|---|---|---|
| Which product or venue is covered? | Casino, cardroom, lottery, sports betting, online account, access-to-cash or web blocking. | Program name, covered products, source URL, timestamp. |
| How long does exclusion last? | Selected term, renewal rules, re-entry rules and whether lifetime option exists. | Signed form, confirmation, term selected. |
| Does it cover mobile or online betting? | Product-specific wording and account closure requirements. | Account notice, support transcript, exclusion confirmation. |
| Can family enroll someone else? | Whether the program is voluntary and what loved ones can do instead. | Support referral, family-support notes. |
| What if support pressure continues? | Scam, complaint and regulator route. | Messages, phone numbers, emails, wallet addresses, support tickets. |
Helping someone else with gambling in Florida
| Situation | First step | What not to do |
|---|---|---|
| I am a spouse, partner or parent | Use Florida support resources for loved ones. | Do not rely on casino support as the only help route. |
| I found gambling charges or debts | Save records and use support, scams and financial-control routes. | Do not send extra funds to unlock winnings. |
| I am worried about underage access | Use Florida age, support and scam routes. | Do not treat app age gates as proof of safety. |
| I am worried about threats, secrecy or distress | Use support resources first and emergency services if immediate danger exists. | Do not escalate through operator-only channels. |
| I want to block access or payments | Use support, payment controls, device controls and self-exclusion guidance. | Do not assume one tool covers every route. |
Limits, time-outs and operator tools: useful but not support by themselves
| Tool | Can help with | Does not prove | What to save |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Reducing deposit access. | That the operator is safe or that support is complete. | Limit screen, timestamp, confirmation. |
| Time-out / cool-off | Temporary pause. | That account access is fully blocked across every brand. | Pause duration, confirmation, support ticket. |
| Self-exclusion | Longer restriction. | Universal coverage unless the program says so. | Program owner, term, covered products. |
| Reality check | Session awareness. | That gambling is under control. | Setting, timestamp, device/app route. |
| Payment block | Reducing access to funds. | That gambling pages or apps are blocked. | Bank/card/tool confirmation. |

How do I self-exclude from gambling in Florida?
Use Florida support and the current self-exclusion program owner for the product or venue. Verify whether the exclusion covers casinos, cardrooms, mobile sports betting, access to cash, web blocking or operator accounts.
