Permanent self-exclusion: Lifetime lockdown
1. What is permanent self-exclusion
Lifetime self-exclusion is a voluntary and irrevocable account lock in which access to rates, deposits and bonuses is closed forever. Such a mechanism excludes any technical opportunity to resume the game on this platform.
2. Who and why choose a lifetime ban
Severe addiction: with chronic relapses, when short-term pauses and limits do not help control cravings.
Cardinal break: complete removal of temptation and elimination of the temptation of "another entrance."
Legal protection: in some jurisdictions, the inclusion of lifetime-excluded persons in the unified register automatically blocks access to all licensed operators.
3. Activation procedure
1. Support appeal: send an official application for a permanent exception via form or e-mail.
2. Identity verification: confirm your identity to exclude requests from third parties (passport, photo, certificates).
3. Confirmation of irrevocability: sign an electronic agreement or confirm with a code from an SMS, realizing that the lock cannot be released.
4. Registry registration (where available): some operators enter data into national self-exclusion lists.
4. Technical implementation and coverage
Platform level: Your account and all associated devices are locked indefinitely.
Cross-operator integration: in a number of countries (UK, Australia), the single self-exclusion register is applicable to all licensed casinos.
API lock: Any API requests for bets, deposits and bonuses from your ID are rejected by the system without the ability to bypass.
5. Psychological and social effects
Confirmation of seriousness: a lifetime ban is a powerful signal to your subconscious that "there is no more game."
Reducing anxiety: Eliminating the constant "play/don't play" choice removes the source of stress.
Strengthening support: relatives and specialists perceive self-exclusion as the final decision and are more actively involved in help.
6. Legal aspects
Formation of a common register: in a number of countries you can apply to the national register, which blocks access to all gambling operators under jurisdiction.
Protection against fraud: once included, the exception cannot be canceled without a court decision - this guarantees the observance of your will.
Confidentiality: data about you is stored only in the responsible game service and is not transferred to third parties other than operators.
7. Pre-application recommendations
1. Consultation with a professional: discuss the solution with a psychotherapist or addictologist to make sure it is relevant.
2. Message to loved ones: Alert a family or friend to support you after the ban is activated.
3. Preparing alternatives: Plan leisure, hobbies and social activities for the long term.
4. Archiving data: Save your win history and statistics if you plan to use them for analysis, but do not remain an "observer" of the game.
8. What to do after activation
Complete deletion of applications and bookmarks. Remove all links and attachments associated with excitement.
Activation of limits and filters: additionally put bank and browser locks on operator domains.
Working on habits: replace the short pause tracker with a tracker of new goals: sports, creativity, education.
Community support: Join GA/SMART Recovery or therapy groups for long-term support.
Lifelong self-exclusion is an extreme, but often the only effective measure for serious gaming addiction. It creates an impenetrable barrier, frees you from constant temptations and allows you to fully focus on restoring life without gambling.
