How NH Self-Exclusion Works →Common Questions
How do I set deposit limits on DraftKings NH?
Open the DraftKings Sportsbook app, tap your profile icon, choose Responsible Gaming, then Deposit Limits. Set daily, weekly, or monthly amounts. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Is there a New Hampshire-wide self-exclusion list?
Yes. The New Hampshire Lottery Commission operates a Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program that covers DraftKings Sportsbook (mobile and retail) and licensed charitable gaming venues. Enrolling adds you to a single statewide list. See our /self-exclusion/ page for the application process.
