Get Help for Problem Gambling

While gambling may be a form of entertainment for most people, it is a harmful addiction for others. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection offers a self-exclusion program to help individuals affected by problem gambling distance themselves from gambling. Self-exclusion allows people to voluntarily ban themselves from all forms of gambling in the state.
