If you try to go in, staff will stop you from entering. You sign an agreement that sets out your obligations, including that you won’t be allowed to go into places you’ve specified. You choose the locations or websites that you know present risks for you – a venue, the section of a venue where there’s gambling (say, the gaming room), or an online betting service – and you say how long you want to opt out. You choose the locations or websites you want to be banned from. Self-exclusion can help if you want to cut down, have a break or quit for good.
A good way to take control is deciding to block, ban or bar yourself (also called self-exclusion) from gambling.
