Temporary self-exclusion: 24 hours, week, month

1. What is temporary self-exclusion

Temporary self-exclusion is the voluntary blocking of access to rates, deposits and bonuses for a fixed short period: 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the pause, all game functions are unavailable.

2. When to choose each term

24 hours:
  • - Instant "stop" at acute thrust; suitable for a willpower test.
  • 7 days:
    • - Breaking the usual cycle to interrupt automatic impulses and rethink motivation.
    • 30 days:
      • - Deep reset of behavior; long enough to form new habits.

      3. Step-by-step activation

      1. Authorization: Log in to your account on the casino website or app.
      2. Responsible Play section: Find the Self-Exclusion subsection.
      3. Select a period: check "24 hours," "1 week" or "1 month."
      4. Confirmation: verify via SMS or e-mail - this protects against accidental requests.
      5. Instant lock: after confirmation, the game functionality is closed immediately.

      4. Technical mechanism

      Server lock: Any requests for bets, deposits and bonuses automatically return a waiver.
      Cross-platform protection: Blocking works in the web version, mobile application and third-party integrations.
      Pause history: the start and end dates of each lock are saved in your personal account.

      5. Practical advice

      Do not choose a minimum period for severe addiction: if 24 hours did not work, take a week or a month right away.
      Use the pause productively: plan a consultation with a psychologist, sports or new hobbies during this period.
      Do not cancel early: most platforms do not allow early removal of blocking - this is an additional barrier from spontaneous decisions.

      6. Next steps after pause

      1. Experience analysis: assess how much craving has decreased and what emotions you experienced during the pause.
      2. Setting up limits: after the end, include deposit, time and session limits.
      3. Support: Connect a reporting partner or mutual aid group to help prevent relapse.

      Temporary self-exclusion is a simple and reliable way to get a "deep pause" from gambling, break the vicious circle and regain control of yourself without the risk of an early return to betting.
