Self-exclusion is a player-protection feature that lets users lock themselves out of a sweepstakes casino for a chosen length of time, from a short cooling-off period to a permanent ban. Once active, the account cannot be used to play or purchase.
It is a core part of responsible gambling programs offered by reputable operators. Players who feel their play is becoming a problem can request self-exclusion through account settings or support, and many sites also offer deposit and time limits.
Example usage
- Set a 30-day self-exclusion from account settings.
- Permanent self-exclusion closes the account indefinitely.
