Self-Exclusion

A voluntary program that bans you from gambling at casinos or online platforms for a set period.

Last updated:

Self-exclusion is a voluntary program available in every regulated gambling jurisdiction that allows you to ban yourself from participating in gambling activities for a set period (typically 1-5 years, sometimes permanently).

Once enrolled, you'll be removed from marketing lists, denied entry to casinos, and locked out of online accounts. Attempting to gamble while self-excluded can result in forfeiture of winnings.

Self-exclusion is a courageous step that should be normalized, not stigmatized. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-522-4700.
