Beyond Self-Exclusion
BEFORE THE PROBLEM. NOT AFTER.
ABOUT US

Protection that starts before the problem, and follows the person everywhere they bet.

Beyond Self-Exclusion is a coalition for early, cross-platform detection and intervention across the U.S.

The problem

Sports betting now lives on the phone in every pocket. The main safeguard is self-exclusion: a person has to recognize they're in trouble, then ask to be shut out.

By then the damage is often done. And a person paused on one app can open another the same night.

What we stand for

  • Mandatory under 25. Early risk detection for every bettor under 25, measured against their own pattern of play.
  • Voluntary at 25 and up. The same protection, available to every adult as a simple opt-in.
  • Across every app. Protection follows the person to every licensed operator, with graduated steps and a path back.

How we work: one district at a time

We organize parents, educators and clinicians district by district, so every signature reaches the lawmakers who represent the people who signed.

  1. LOCAL

    One district at a time

    We organize one Assembly district at a time, so each district's parents are counted and heard by their own representatives.

  2. STATE

    Make New York the model

    We back behavioral risk assessment in A.9584-A and risk-based intervention across all operators at the Gaming Commission.

  3. NATIONAL

    Carry it to Congress

    We'll take what works in New York to other states and to federal standards, including the SAFE Bet Act.

Who we are

We are parents, educators, clinicians and advocates who believe the people closest to young bettors should help shape the rules that protect them.
