I want to ban myself from online casinos — here's how
If you want to ban yourself from online casinos, GSE captures your signed authorization once and sends documented self-exclusion requests to online gambling operators worldwide on your behalf.
GSE documents authorized self-exclusion requests. Each operator decides acceptance under its own regulator — GSE does not guarantee exclusion or refunds.
What GSE actually does
- One verified identity used across every online casino request
- Documented, legally-worded self-exclusion letters per operator
- Automatic coverage of new online casinos as they are discovered
- Downloadable PDF evidence report of every request and response
- Aligned with GDPR — data minimization and right to deletion
The 4-step process
- 1Sign your authorization
Type your legal name, date of birth and address. GSE captures a qualified electronic signature (eIDAS / ESIGN) — no passport, ID card or driving licence is required or stored.
- 2Authorize GSE
Digitally sign an authorization letting GSE submit online casino self-exclusion requests on your behalf. Version, timestamp and IP are recorded.
- 3GSE sends the requests
We generate a legally-worded self-exclusion request per online casino and deliver it by email, contact form or API. Every send creates an immutable audit record.
- 4New casinos are covered automatically
As new online casinos appear, GSE detects and includes them under your existing authorization, so your ban keeps expanding without extra work.
Wanting to ban yourself from online casinos is one of the most important decisions a person struggling with gambling can make. The problem is that "online casinos" is not a single place. There are thousands of casino brands operating under dozens of licenses in Malta, the UK, Sweden, Curaçao, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Kahnawake and beyond — plus offshore operators without meaningful oversight. National schemes like GamStop, Spelpaus, ROFUS and CRUKS only cover operators licensed in that specific country.
GSE was built to close that gap. You sign one authorization once through a qualified electronic signature process, sign a single authorization, and GSE sends a documented self-exclusion request to every online casino in our verified operator database. As new casinos launch, they are added automatically. You get a downloadable evidence report showing exactly which operators were contacted, when, how, and what they responded — the kind of proof a regulator or bank takes seriously.
GSE is not a magic switch and it does not claim to be. Each operator decides whether to accept a self-exclusion request under its own license. What GSE guarantees is a verified identity, authorized delivery, and a permanent audit trail.
Frequently asked questions
Can I really ban myself from all online casinos at once?+
There is no single global blocklist. GSE sends documented self-exclusion requests to every online casino in our verified operator database and to new ones as they are discovered. Each casino decides acceptance under its own license.
How long does the self-exclusion last?+
Duration is set by each operator or its regulator, typically 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent. GSE requests the longest legally available exclusion by default.
Is this the same as GamStop?+
No. GamStop covers online gambling operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. GSE is global — it works alongside GamStop, Spelpaus, ROFUS, CRUKS and similar national schemes, and extends to operators outside those systems.
Will GSE recover money I've lost?+
GSE does not process refunds and does not represent that operators must issue them. Refund rights depend entirely on the operator and its regulator.
What if I want to un-ban myself later?+
Reversing a self-exclusion is controlled by each operator, not by GSE. Many jurisdictions enforce a mandatory cooling-off period before any reversal is possible.
