Request exclusion at the operator
Open the gambling operator’s responsible-gambling or support section and request self-exclusion for the longest appropriate period. Ask how existing balances, marketing messages and any linked accounts will be handled. Do not rely on an unauthenticated third-party guide to restrict your account.
Consider wider exclusion schemes
Some jurisdictions offer multi-operator tools. For example, the UK Gambling Commission explains how self-exclusion and GAMSTOP work in its regulated context. Check your own regulator for local programs.
Reduce opportunities to return
Disable marketing, block gambling domains and apps, and consider payment blocks where supported. Ask a trusted person or professional to help you maintain the plan.
Support is available
Gamblers Anonymous provides international meeting information, and GamCare lists region-specific support contacts. If gambling is putting you at immediate risk, seek local emergency help.
