FAQ

What is self-exclusion and how does it work?

Self-exclusion is a voluntary program that allows you to ban yourself from gambling platforms for a set period. Once registered, the operator must close your accounts, block access, and stop marketing to you. It cannot be reversed early in most jurisdictions.

Can I self-exclude from just one casino or all at once?

This depends on your jurisdiction. Many countries have national self-exclusion registers (e.g., ROFUS in Denmark, Spelpaus in Sweden, BetStop in Australia) that cover all licensed operators simultaneously. Individual operator exclusions are also available.

Is self-exclusion permanent?

Options vary by program. Most offer temporary exclusion periods (3 months, 6 months, 1 year) as well as permanent exclusion. Some programs allow reinstatement after a cooling-off period with mandatory counselling.

Will self-exclusion affect my bank account or credit score?

No. Self-exclusion only affects your gambling accounts. It has no impact on your banking, credit score, or other financial services. It is a private gambling-specific measure.

Where can I get help for problem gambling?

Every country has support services. Common resources include national gambling helplines (available 24/7, free and confidential), online chat services, counselling, and peer support groups like Gamblers Anonymous. Check the resources section in this article for numbers specific to your country.
