   Before you enroll: withdraw balances you can, save records you might need, cancel recurring deposits. Many terms can’t be shortened. If this state has no statewide list, use blockers, helplines, GA, and operator tools anyway.

   • Cancel autopay and remove saved payment methods
   • Download win/loss or tax records you may need later
