What is self-exclusion in gambling?
A tool that blocks you from gambling with an casino, or with every licensed casino through a national scheme, for a set period. It's one of the strongest responsible gambling tools.

Why it matters
If you feel you need it, use it. It works best combined with blocking software and support.
In practice
Self-exclusion usually can’t be reversed early. That’s deliberate. Combine it with deposit blocks from your bank and device-level blocking software for the strongest protection. See responsible gambling.
Example
In the Philippines, PAGCOR runs the National Database of Restricted Persons (NDRP), where you can self-exclude from licensed gaming.
