Self-exclusion is a protective measure in which a person requests a barrier to gambling access for a defined period or under a relevant exclusion system. Procedures depend on the operator, venue and jurisdiction.
Choosing the right route
Operator exclusion: find the operator's official safer-gambling or account-support process and request its available self-exclusion option. This publisher cannot initiate exclusion on your behalf.
Wider exclusion: some jurisdictions provide multi-operator or licensed-market exclusion systems. Check directly with the regulator rather than assuming a single operator request covers all services.
Practical actions alongside exclusion
- Consider gambling-site blocking tools and device restrictions.
- Ask your bank whether gambling-transaction blocks are available.
- Remove promotional messages and notifications.
- Talk to someone you trust or an independent support service.
