Is sports betting legal in New Hampshire?
New Hampshire allows sports betting through the New Hampshire Lottery, which partners with one mobile sportsbook, plus a few retail locations. It started in December 2019. New Hampshire allows sports betting at 18, which is younger than most states. Some sportsbooks set their own minimum of 21. Betting is overseen by the New Hampshire Lottery Commission.
How to self-exclude from sports betting in New Hampshire
You can't count on willpower at 1 a.m. after a bad beat. Self-exclusion means you don't have to, because the sportsbooks are required to say no for you.
New Hampshire's online sports betting runs through one sportsbook, so the most direct step is the self-exclusion option inside that app's account settings. Contact the New Hampshire Lottery about retail sports betting and its other games.
See the New Hampshire Lottery Commission for current details.

Game days in New Hampshire
Most bets get placed during games, not before them. In New Hampshire, that means games involving the New Hampshire Wildcats are where your plan has to hold. Pick the games you'll watch this month and decide who you'll watch with. When it's close late, put the phone in another room.

Make the next bet harder to place
Chasing losses is easiest when the money is one tap away, so make it slow to reach. Turn on purchase alerts, drop your daily transfer limit, and keep a blocker on every screen you own. These blockers hold up.
If the debt already feels too big, NFCC.org connects you with nonprofit credit counseling. You don't have to dig out by yourself.
