About the List of Disassociated Persons

The Missouri Gaming Commission administers two separate lists for problem gamblers.
  1. List of Disassociated Persons (DAP List) – This list is specific to casino gambling in Missouri.
  2. List of Self-Excluded Persons (SEP List) – This list is specific to sports wagering in Missouri.

List of Disassociated Persons
The DAP List provides problem gamblers with a method to acknowledge they have a gambling problem and to take personal responsibility for it by agreeing to stop visiting riverboat casinos in Missouri for the rest of their life, with a one-time option to petition to remove their name from the DAP List 5 years after placement on the DAP List. If a person has been on the DAP List for at least five years and comes off the DAP List, and then wants back on, that person will be permanently placed on the DAP List without the ability to request another removal from the DAP List.
The DAP List directs Missouri riverboat casino operators to:
  • remove Disassociated Persons from all direct marketing lists;
  • refuse check cashing and credit privileges;
  • deny participation in player programs; and
  • forfeit all points or complementaries earned by the individual.

List of Self-Excluded Persons
The SEP List is for those who are problem gamblers, specifically for sports wagering. The SEP List provides problem gamblers with a method to acknowledge they have a gambling problem and to take personal responsibility for it by agreeing to stop sports wagering in Missouri, both online and in-person. The enrollment on the SEP List is for 5 years. At the end of the five-year exclusion period, you will be automatically removed from the SEP List. During the three (3) months prior to your expiration date, you may request to remain on the SEP List for an additional five (5) years. This process can be repeated as many times as elected by you. The SEP List directs Missouri sports wagering operators to:
  • remove Self-Excluded Persons from all direct marketing lists;
  • deny participation in player programs; and
  • forfeit all points or complementaries earned by the individual.
