Note. BetMGM account is tied to M life Rewards. Closing the gaming account does not remove you from MGM Resorts loyalty programs — request separately if desired.
2. Enroll in your state's self-exclusion registry
Closing your BetMGM account does not stop you from signing up elsewhere. State self-exclusion binds every operator licensed in your state, typically for a minimum of one year. It's the step that actually keeps the door locked.
BetMGM: BetMGM state-regulated self-exclusion
My Account → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion.
Minimum period: 1 year typical; state-registry durations apply.
3. Block the app on your phone
Deletion is not enough. Apps can be reinstalled in seconds. Gamban, BetBlocker, and phone-level restrictions (iOS Screen Time, Android Family Link) all make reinstalling much harder. Hand the passcode to someone you trust, not yourself.

Get recovery support
Closing one platform is the start, not the solution. Gambling disorder is a behavioral addiction recognized in the DSM-5, and it responds to real treatment — CBT, peer support, medication management in some cases, and community.
