What self-exclusion means
Self-exclusion is a request to restrict your ability to access gambling services, often for a selected minimum period. Available durations and safeguards vary by operator and jurisdiction.
Start with the operator
Use the responsible-gambling settings or authenticated support on each operator’s official website. Ask about the exclusion start time, linked accounts, future marketing, remaining balances and reinstatement rules.
Consider jurisdiction-wide programs
Some places offer multi-operator programs. In Great Britain, GAMSTOP provides a service for participating UK-licensed online operators. Confirm eligibility and coverage directly.
Add practical blocking layers
Consider device blocking tools, banking gambling-transaction blocks where supported and removing saved payment details. These controls supplement, rather than replace, a formal exclusion.
Where to seek support
The responsible gambling page links to support organisations. Play MPL Guide cannot close or exclude accounts on your behalf.
