Choose the appropriate scheme

Options vary by jurisdiction and may include single-operator exclusions, multi-operator registries, venue exclusions and account-level cooling-off measures. They are not interchangeable, and some require direct registration.

Steps to take

  1. Stop using the gambling account while deciding the level of protection needed.
  2. Locate the verified operator account-control tools and the applicable local self-exclusion program.
  3. Confirm the duration, coverage, identity process and limits on reversal before submitting.
  4. Add website or banking blocks if you need protection beyond a single operator.
  5. Reach out to independent support, especially if bills, relationships or mental health are affected.

Do not rely only on a single block

One website’s restriction may not cover other sites, products or devices. Support organizations can help identify a more comprehensive plan.
