There's a version of you that wants this account gone, and a version that will want it back on Sunday. Do this while the first one is in charge. Underdog offers pick'em fantasy and, in some states, a sportsbook. Its fantasy side often isn't covered by state self-exclusion lists.

Apps move their menus around a lot. If a step doesn't match your screen, open the app's help or chat and ask for the same thing by name.

How to close your Underdog account

  1. Withdraw your balance first.
  2. For a firm stop, go to the Account tab, then Responsible Gaming Limits, switch to Exclusion and choose the longest length.
  3. To simply close the account, email support@underdogfantasy.com or use in-app chat (Account, then Contact Support).

Underdog says self-exclusion can't be undone once you set it.

Closing vs. self-excluding from Underdog

If you only close the account, getting back in is usually one chat away. Self-exclusion is built to hold even when you ask nicely, which is exactly why it works.

Pick'em is still betting

Underdog calls them picks or entries, but you put money in and win or lose based on games. If you're quitting sports betting, Underdog has to go too. Why pick'em apps hook people.

Take a break from Underdog

  • Cool-Off: 3 days to 9 months, under Responsible Gaming Limits. It can't be undone.

Self-exclude from Underdog

  • Self-exclusion: 1, 3, 5 or 10 years, or lifetime, according to Underdog's help center. It logs you out right away.

Because Underdog is a pick'em fantasy app, your state's sportsbook self-exclusion list may not cover it. Exclude on Underdog directly, and on any similar apps you use.

Set limits on Underdog

Deposit, spending, single-contest, number-of-entries and daily time limits. Limits are for cutting back. They tend to fail at exactly the moment you're chasing, so if you're done, self-exclude and use limits only as a backup.

Keep Underdog off your phone

  • Remove every saved card and bank link from Underdog before you close it.
  • Lock your phone with a gambling blocker like BetBlocker, and have someone you trust hold the passcode. More blocking options.
  • Turn off the noise. Turn off push notifications in your phone's settings and use unsubscribe links.

Stop Underdog VIP hosts, rewards and offers

If anyone from Underdog contacts you personally with bonuses or offers, treat it like a VIP host.

A host's job is to keep you betting, even when they sound like a friend. Self-exclude, put your opt-out request to Underdog in writing, and screenshot anything that arrives afterward for your state regulator. What to do about VIP hosts.

What about your data?

Ask support about deleting your data.

Close the rest too

Closing Underdog helps. The other apps are still one tap away, so shut those down too:

FAQ

How do I delete my Underdog account?

To simply close the account, email support@underdogfantasy.com or use in-app chat (Account, then Contact Support). Underdog says self-exclusion can't be undone once you set it.

How long does Underdog self-exclusion last?

1, 3, 5 or 10 years, or lifetime, according to Underdog's help center. It logs you out right away.

Does self-excluding from Underdog block other apps?

No. Self-excluding on Underdog covers Underdog only, and state sportsbook lists often don't reach a pick'em fantasy app. Exclude on each app you use.

What happens to the money in my Underdog account?

Withdraw it before you close or self-exclude. Some apps lock your balance until a self-exclusion ends.

Should I tell someone I closed my Underdog account?

Yes. Telling one person makes it harder to quietly reopen, and it gives you someone to text when the urge hits.

Now make the rest of it stick

A closed account handles one door. Your 90-day plan handles the urges and the money.
