What is Self-exclusion?
Self-exclusion is a voluntary process that allows individuals to remove themselves from participating in gambling activities. This is a helpful tool for individuals who may have a problem with gambling and wish to take control of their behaviour. If you are looking to self-exclude, below is a step-by-step guide on how to do so.

Step 1: Decide to Self-Exclude
The first step in the self-exclusion process is to make the decision to do so. This can be a difficult decision when you’ve been grappling with how you feel about your gambling. However, it is important to remember that self-exclusion can be a positive first step towards taking control of your gambling behaviour.
What are the signs that self-exclusion may be helpful for you?
First of all, if you aren’t sure whether your gambling is problematic or not, you could read our post on the signs that you may have a gambling problem. This could help you determine whether you are showing any warning signs. In summary, the signs include:
- Spending significant lengths of time gambling
- Spending less time with friends and family so that you can gamble
- Lying, stealing money, denial that you have a problem
- Financial difficulties and debts due to gambling
- Trying to recoup losses by gambling more
If any of these signs apply to you, we highly recommend that you get in touch with us for free support and advice as well as trying self-exclusion.
