What self-exclusion means
Self-exclusion is a formal request to restrict access to gambling services for a selected or legally prescribed period. The scope may be one operator or a wider regulated scheme.
Request exclusion through the proper channel
Use the operator’s official account controls or support process, or a relevant regulator-run scheme where one exists. An independent editorial site cannot apply account-level restrictions for you.
Add practical barriers
Consider blocking gambling transactions through your bank where supported, device-level blocking tools and removing saved payment details. These steps complement, rather than replace, formal exclusion.
Expectations and limitations
Exclusion coverage, duration, reversal rules and enforcement vary. Read the official scheme conditions and get support if cravings or financial pressure continue.
Immediate support
If gambling is linked to crisis, self-harm thoughts or a risk to others, seek local emergency assistance or crisis support right away.
