Self-Exclusion Tips & Tools
Self-exclusion is a method that assists players with difficulty in gambling. This is done through completely blocking access to the gaming platform that the player has chosen to exclude themselves from.
Self-exclusion periods can be set for a pre-determined or indefinite amount of time, and players can choose to extend the self-exclusion period definitely or indefinitely.
During this self-exclusion period, players are completely barred from participating in any gambling activity. However, funds that are still being held in the players’ accounts and not forfeited can still be withdrawn, though it is advised that the funds must be withdrawn before commencing the self-exclusion period.
