Request self-exclusion fromyour chosen casinos.Take a step towarda new start.

Three frames from a life restarting.
Am I addicted to gambling?
Nine questions from the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) — the validated screening tool used by public health agencies and treatment services worldwide. Answer honestly about the last 12 months. Nothing you enter here is stored or sent anywhere.
Before you start
- Think about the last 12 months only.
- There are no right answers, and no one sees them. The test runs entirely in your browser.
- This is a screening tool, not a medical diagnosis. It cannot replace an assessment by a clinician.

From email confirmation to your selected request round.
- 1~3 min
Confirm email and provide your details
Confirm control of your email through a confirmation link and provide your own identity details. GSE does not independently verify legal identity or collect ID images or selfies.
- 2~1 min
Electronically sign the authorization
After choosing and paying for a plan, acknowledge the authorization by typing your name. The text, version, typed name, timestamp and available browser user-agent are recorded, not an IP address. This is not an advanced or qualified signature.
- 3At activation
Activate your selected casinos
Your exact operator selection is saved at activation. GSE submits one initial email request round only to that set. Track available provider acceptance and responses separately; receipt and closure are not guaranteed. No automatic additions or recurring reminders.
What GSE does not promise: Acceptance of a self-exclusion request is decided by each operator under its own license and terms. GSE confirms email ownership, records your typed-name authorization and submits one initial email round to your saved selected casinos using self-reported identity details — it does not guarantee exclusion from every operator, refunds, or legal authority over foreign licensees. GSE is not medical, legal or financial advice; if you're in crisis, please contact a local support service.
Gambling doesn't just take money. It takes years a new start.
Behind every self-exclusion is a real story. Here's what problem gambling actually costs — and why closing the door for good matters.
Financial ruin
Wages disappear before rent. Loans stack on loans. Gambling debt is the fastest path to bankruptcy — and the hardest to talk about.
Broken relationships
Lies about money. Missed birthdays. Partners and children who stop believing the promises. Gambling erodes trust before it erodes accounts.
Mental health & suicide
Problem gambling carries one of the highest suicide risks of any addiction. Anxiety, shame and sleepless nights are part of the pattern.
Self-exclusion requests are one step, not a guarantee. Consider combining them with device blockers, bank gambling blocks and personal support.
— A practical reminder, not a customer testimonial
Steps to consider alongside self-exclusion requests.
These are suggested goals, not promised results or a recovery schedule. GSE does not guarantee account closure or provide treatment.
Make room for rest
Consider a night-time phone boundary and support if urges keep you awake.
Plan for essential spending
Consider bank gambling blocks and a budget for essentials. GSE does not block deposits or protect funds.
Talk to someone you trust
A partner, friend or support worker may help you plan next steps, regardless of operator responses.
Seek ongoing support
Recovery varies. Support services can help with urges, shame and setbacks.
Review your progress
Review available request records and your wider support plan. A report does not prove that every account closed.
Keep building your support
Long-term goals and support may help you move forward; there is no fixed recovery timeline.
Confirm email. Sign once. Select casinos. Activate once.
Confirm email ownership, provide your own details, pay and authorize, then activate your selected casinos. Provider acceptance is tracked separately from operator decisions; exclusion is not guaranteed.
- Step 01 · Email & self-reported details
Confirm your email and provide your details.
You confirm control of your email through a confirmation link and provide your own legal name, date of birth, country and address. GSE does not collect or store passport, ID card or driving licence images — you provide self-reported identity details and a typed-name electronic acknowledgement, not independently verified identity or an advanced or qualified signature.
- Email ownership confirmed by an email link
- Identity details are self-reported, not independently verified
- Typed name, timestamp and browser user-agent recorded
01 - Step 02 · Electronic signature
You sign one authorization.
You electronically sign an agreement authorizing GSE to submit self-exclusion requests to gambling operators on your behalf. We record the agreement text, version, typed name, timestamp and browser user-agent when available. The current signing flow does not collect an IP address.
- Authorization is required before the initial request round
- Version, typed name and timestamp recorded
- Downloadable copy of the signed agreement
02 - Step 03 · Self-exclusion to operators
Activate one round to your selected casinos.
After email confirmation, payment and authorization, explicit activation saves your chosen operator set. GSE submits one initial email request per selected eligible operator using your self-reported details. New operators, renewals and logins do not trigger repeat requests or expand that set. Provider acceptance and operator responses are recorded separately; acceptance does not prove inbox receipt or account closure.
- One initial request per selected eligible operator
- Submitted by email; no recurring reminders
- Delivery status + response logged per operator
03
Your selection stays fixed. Both plans use one initial round to your saved selected operators. Newly discovered casinos are not added automatically. There are no recurring reminders or repeat sends on renewal or login.
See full processNot a phone filter. A request to your chosen casinos.
GSE submits authorized self-exclusion requests to the operators you choose. It does not block websites, control operator identity checks or prevent new accounts. Device blockers, bank gambling blocks and support services can provide complementary help.
Phone blocker apps
- Blocks access on supported devices; coverage depends on the tool.
- Other devices or sites may fall outside its coverage.
- A blocker does not itself submit a request to a casino.
- Use blockers alongside self-exclusion and support, not as a guarantee.
GSE — selected-casino requests
- We email your selected operators after confirmed email ownership, payment and authorization.
- Requests use the identity and matching details you provide; GSE does not independently verify them.
- Each operator decides whether to accept, ask for more information, reject or ignore the request.
- Available provider acceptance records and operator responses are tracked separately; neither is a guarantee of closure.
Use an email confirmation link to prove control of your current email. Your identity details remain self-reported.
At explicit activation, your chosen operator set is saved. Only those operators are included in the initial round.
View provider acceptance and operator responses separately. Requests do not guarantee receipt, exclusion or blocked deposits.
Honest disclosure: GSE cannot guarantee that every operator in the world will honor a self-exclusion request, and we have no legal authority over foreign or unlicensed sites. Your identity is self-reported; only email ownership is confirmed. Requests are limited to your saved selection, and available sending records do not prove inbox receipt or account closure. A PDF reports available records; it is not certified tamper-proof evidence.

The table
Phone downThe doubts you're having right now — answered.
If your finger is hovering over "Start my restart", you're probably thinking one of these. Read them first.
"I'll just do it myself, later."
You can contact casinos yourself using their self-exclusion procedures. GSE is a paid alternative that submits one authorized email round to your selected casinos, using your self-reported details after email ownership confirmation. Timing and operator responses vary.
"I don't want to upload my passport or ID."
You never have to. GSE does not collect or store passport, ID card, or driving licence images. You provide self-reported details and a typed-name electronic acknowledgement. GSE does not independently verify legal identity or provide advanced or qualified electronic signatures. Email control is confirmed separately before requests.
"What if an operator ignores the request?"
Operators may reject, delay or ignore requests. Available request records can support your own follow-up, but do not prove receipt or closure. GSE does not automatically contact regulators. For Swedish-licensed gambling, use Spelpaus rather than GSE.
"$49 or $9/month feels like a lot right now."
GSE is optional paid assistance. You can request self-exclusion yourself, and free national schemes and blockers may be available. Choose only what fits your budget; neither plan guarantees savings or account closure.
"I'm not that bad. I can still stop on my own."
Most people who reach this page have already tried. Closing the doors while you still have the strength is what makes stopping actually stick — this isn't defeat, it's a decision made from a clear moment.
"Can I undo it if I change my mind?"
Self-exclusion is designed to be hard to reverse — that's the whole point. Cooling-off periods and operator policies vary; GSE never promises instant reactivation, and we'll always tell you what a specific operator's reversal terms are.
Still unsure? That's normal. Doing it anyway is the restart.
Start my restartBrowse operators and choose your request scope.
Browse the operator database and select eligible casinos or license categories. Your exact selection is saved at activation; additions to the database do not expand it. Swedish-licensed operators are excluded from GSE requests — use Spelpaus for those.

Identity, data, signature, delivery — how the process actually works.
Before you start: email ownership confirmation, self-reported details, authorization and what happens after your selected requests.
How does signed authorization actually work?+
GSE does not collect identity-document images or independently verify legal identity. You provide self-reported details and acknowledge authorization by typing your name. The account, name, agreement text/version, timestamp and available browser user-agent are recorded. This is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature; the current signing flow does not collect IP addresses.
What data does GSE actually keep about me?+
Account and matching details, authorization text, available provider acceptance references, email-control confirmation and operator responses. No identity-document images are collected. See the Privacy Policy for disclosure and retention.
What am I signing, and how is the signature stored?+
You electronically sign an authorization stating that GSE may submit self-exclusion requests to gambling operators on your behalf. The agreement text, version, typed name, timestamp and available browser user-agent are recorded. The current signing flow does not collect IP addresses. A downloaded PDF is a report from available records, not certified tamper-proof evidence.
What can I expect after a request is sent?+
After email ownership confirmation, payment, authorization and activation, GSE submits one initial email request round to your saved selected operators. Available provider acceptance records and operator responses are recorded separately; acceptance does not prove inbox receipt or account closure. Operators may reject, delay or ignore requests. New operators are not added automatically, and there are no recurring reminders. A PDF reports available records, not certified tamper-proof evidence.
This page is maintained by GSE to explain how the platform handles identity self-reported details, email ownership confirmation, authorization and sending. GSE records available request information but does not guarantee that any specific operator will accept, refund or act on it.
Straight answers.
Does GSE guarantee I'll be excluded from every operator?+
No. Operators may reject, delay or ignore requests, or ask for further verification. GSE confirms email ownership, records your typed-name authorization and submits requests to your saved selection using self-reported details. Provider acceptance does not prove inbox receipt or account closure.
What happens to my identity documents?+
GSE does not collect identity-document images or independently verify legal identity. Your details are self-reported. Typed-name authorization is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature; email ownership is confirmed separately.
Can I get a refund from an operator through GSE?+
GSE does not process refunds and does not represent that operators must issue them. Refund rights depend on the operator and its regulator.
What if a new gambling operator appears later?+
New operators do not expand your saved selection or receive automatic requests. Both plans use one initial round to the operators selected at activation, with no recurring reminders or repeat sends on renewal or login.
