The ability to block in live chats and through support

Introduction

In an emergency, it is fastest to contact the operator directly: through the built-in live chat or e-mail support service. This will give an instant response and enable manual mechanisms to block your account.

1. Preparation for handling

1. Collect data

Login or e-mail under which you are registered.
Date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY).
Previously selected self-exclusion period (if any).

2. Select a channel

Live chat on a website or mobile app is the fastest.
Support e-mail (usually support @... or responsiblegaming @...).

2. Live Chat Contact

1. Starting a chat

Click on the "Chat" icon in the lower right corner of the site or the "Support" → "Live Chat" sections.

2. Message template

```
How do you do. I ask you to immediately block my account using the self-exclusion system.
Login: [your login]
Date of birth: [DD/MM/YYYY]
Exclusion period: [e.g. 6 months]
Thanks for the confirmation.
```

3. Confirmation

The operator requests additional data (if necessary).
In response, you will receive a message that the lock is activated.

3. Contact by e-mail

1. Address and Subject

To: [support @ casino. com](mailto: support@casino. com) or responsiblegaming @\[ domain]
Subject line: "Request self-exclusion/account lockout"

2. Text of the letter

```
Good day to you. I ask to immediately block my account as part of self-exclusion.
Login: [your login]
Email: [your email]
Date of birth: [DD/MM/YYYY]
Exclusion period: [6 months/12 months/lifetime]
Please confirm the blocking in the response letter.
```

3. Waiting for a response

Usually the operator responds within 1-3 hours.
If there is no answer within 24 hours, go to the complaint to the regulator.

4. Check of execution

1. Attempt to login

Go to the casino login page - you should see an error or block message.
2. No mailings

After 24 hours, make sure that promo emails and SMS are not received.
3. Screenshots

Take a screenshot of the lock confirmation from the operator.

5. Actions in case of non-fulfillment of the request

1. Remind in chat or letter

Quote the original request and attach a screenshot of the correspondence.
2. Complaint to the regulator

ACMA (online) or In-House Authority (VGCCC, OLGR) - Specify operator and attach evidence.
3. Technical measures

Install Gamban/BetBlocker and DNS filters before resolving operator issue.

Conclusion

Contacting live chat or e-mail support is the fastest way to initiate an account lock. Use a clear template, check the execution of the request and, if necessary, escalte through the regulator and technical barriers.
