The responsible gaming partnership between the Coalition for Fantasy Sports (CFS) and idPair is growing with a self-exclusion program available in a new group of markets.
On Monday, the two entities announced the expansion of their self-exclusion partnership to 13 new markets across America. The expansion allows the CFS and idPair to offer a national self-exclusion program in a total of 15 states are initially launching the service in New Mexico and Nebraska earlier this year. The self-exclusion program is available to five operators and gaming brands that make up the CFS’ current membership.
“After we saw the success of the idPair program in Nebraska and New Mexico, we knew we wanted to expand in a big way,” said CFS Executive Director J.T. Foley. “As we look to the start of the football season, we’re honored to be leading the charge on responsible gaming and making sure player protection remains a top priority as our coalition and the industry grow.”
The CFS and idPair expanded their national self-exclusion program to these 13 markets:
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Georgia
- Illinois
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Oklahoma
- South Carolina
- Texas
- Utah
- Virginia
- West Virginia
Self-exclusion is available to players who use member sites Underdog, PrizePicks, Betr, Dabble and Splash Sports.
The self-exclusion program blocks access to the gaming sites in one step, allowing those who voluntarily engage with the service to have a cooling offer period from gaming.
IdPair ensures self-exclusion privacy through its advanced data systems.
