How to stop betting — the way that actually removes access.
How to stop betting — the practical playbook. GSE captures your signed authorization once and files legally-worded self-exclusion requests with every sportsbook, exchange and betting operator worldwide.
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
- Every sportsbook, exchange and crypto book under one request
- Legally-worded — not a casual support ticket
- Live confirmation tracking per operator
- PDF evidence report on demand
- One-time or auto-covering subscription
The 4-step process
- 1Stop chasing losses today
The single biggest predictor of relapse is being able to place another bet. Remove access first, feelings second.
- 2Sign your authorization with GSE
A signature-verified identity is what operators need to match your betting accounts and lock them.
- 3We contact every sportsbook
Formal self-exclusion letters go to every online betting operator in scope — including exchanges, spread-betting and crypto books.
- 4Live confirmations
Every operator confirmation appears in your dashboard so you can see progress in real time.
Frequently asked questions
Is stopping betting the same as stopping gambling?+
It's the biggest slice of it. GSE covers sportsbooks, exchanges, casinos, poker and bingo under one request — because most bettors have accounts across categories.
Can I bet during a live event if I'm self-excluded?+
No. Self-excluded accounts cannot deposit or place bets. New account attempts are refused at legal attestation.
How long is a betting self-exclusion?+
GSE requests permanent, lifetime exclusion. Under UKGC and most regulators this cannot be reversed on request — that is deliberate.
What about high-street bookmakers?+
GSE covers online operators. For retail shops, use your national scheme (e.g. GAMSTOP / Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion in the UK).
Can I still watch sport?+
Yes. GSE removes betting access, not the sport itself.
