Self-exclusion from casinos

A self-exclusion program lets you ban yourself from casinos for a set time. Some programs cover only certain casinos. Below: what each program covers, for how long, how to enrol, what happens if you go back, and how the ban ends. Tap to read the official words.

A reference, not the enrolment. The casino operator enrols you, and its rules are the ones that apply. Where a source does not say something, this page does not say it either.

If you are thinking about suicide, call 135 or 0800 345 1435 from anywhere in the country
