Getting help in Kansas

If you’re ready for a life after betting, here’s a simple path in KS. Official details are below.

1. Step 1: Block access

   • BetBlocker (free) or Gamban
   • Ask someone you trust to hold the admin PIN
   • Mute or remove sportsbook apps and notifications

2. Step 2: Self-exclude

   What’s legal here: Online and retail sports betting legal. State-owned casinos and lottery available.

   • Casino VEP + Sports Wagering Exclusion Program (two tracks) · Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission (KRGC)
   • Open the official page / enrollment path
   • How to enroll: State-owned casinos: enroll in person at a state-owned casino or KRGC Topeka (2 years or lifetime). Sports wagering: use the Sports Wagering Exclusion Program page for retail + mobile. Tribal casinos and lottery are separate.
   • Terms: Casino VEP: 2 years or lifetime (removal after 2 years needs assessment/courses and Commission approval). Sports list: see form (no early removal).

   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.
