How to disable game accounts forever

Introduction

For a final break with gambling, it is important not only to stop betting, but also to completely delete or block your accounts on all platforms. This protects against the temptation to "go back" and helps maintain the self-control achieved.

1. List accounts

1. Platform Inventory:

• List all sites and applications where you have ever registered (casinos, bookmakers, poker rooms, betting exchanges).
2. Checking mail and passwords:
• Search your mailbox for confirmation emails.
• Restoring access to abandoned platforms through "Forgot password?" for complete closure.

2. Delete and Block Request

1. Responsible Gaming section:
• Many licensed operators offer the Self-Exclusion option → "Permanent Exclusion."
• Select the maximum term (usually "Forever"), confirm the decision via e-mail or SMS.
2. Contact Support:
• Write to chat or support @ casino a request "Close account forever and delete all data."
• Specify the login, e-mail and request to delete personal data under the Privacy Act.

3. Deletion of personal data

1. GDPR/Privacy Act Request:
• Formulate a request letter "Data Erasure Request": "please delete all my personal data and game history."
2. Confirmation of deletion:
• The operator must respond in time (usually 30 days).
• Save screenshots of the correspondence and confirmation letters.

4. Disabling payment methods

1. Removing linked cards and wallets:
• In the "Payment methods" section, delete all cards, e-wallets and crypto wallets.
2. Bank Transaction Barring:
• Contact your bank to block any transactions to gambling domains.
• Set up SMS alerts for any write-off attempts.

5. Delete apps and block sites

1. Erasing applications:
• Uninstall mobile and desktop casino apps.
2. Router and DNS filters:
• Use OpenDNS or CleanBrowsing: Add Gambling categories to the blacklist.
3. Browser extensions:
• Install site blockers (uBlock Origin, LeechBlock) with a list of casino domains.

6. Confirmation and monitoring

1. Access check:
• After a week, try to enter - make sure the entrance is closed.
2. Mail and SMS monitoring:
• Please note the lack of advertising mailings from the casino.
3. Periodic audit:
• Once a month, repeat the search by mail and check for new registrations or notifications.

Conclusion

Completely disabling game accounts requires a systematic approach: from a list of platforms to deleting data and technical blocking of access. A clear execution of each step will ensure that after closing you will no longer be able to return to gambling, and will protect your motivation to live a sober life without a casino.
