Self Exclusion: How to Stop Access to Gambling

Self-exclusion is a protective measure that asks gambling operators to prevent access to gambling services for a selected period.

HOW IT WORKS

What self-exclusion does

Self-exclusion is designed for someone who recognizes that gambling is causing harm or wants to stop. It can restrict access to an operator’s accounts and, through multi-operator schemes, to multiple participating gambling businesses. Exact coverage varies by scheme, operator and country.

SKY BET ACCOUNTS

Self-exclusion directly with Sky Bet

Sky Bet publishes account tools and help for self-exclusion. Its policies distinguish product-specific exclusions and broader exclusions. If you have accounts with other gambling brands, do not assume that excluding one product automatically covers every service.

  1. Visit the operator’s official safer-gambling or self-exclusion support page.
  2. Review the available scope and duration of the exclusion.
  3. Follow the operator’s authenticated account instructions or official support route.
  4. Check any related accounts and confirm which products are covered.

UK MULTI-OPERATOR SCHEME

GAMSTOP Online: scope and limitations

GAMSTOP Online is a free scheme for people living in the United Kingdom that blocks access to online gambling accounts with companies licensed in Great Britain. Its currently described exclusion options include six months, one year, five years and a five-year auto-renewal choice. Registration can take up to 24 hours to become effective.

Important: GAMSTOP is not a worldwide gambling block. It does not automatically cover operators outside its scope, and registering does not automatically return withdrawable account funds.
