Gambling doesn't just take money. It takes your mind.
Problem gambling has one of the highest suicide rates of any addiction. If you're reading this at 3 a.m. after another bad night — you are not weak, and you are not alone.
If you are in crisis, please stop reading and call for help.

The shame is part of the illness — not proof of failure.
Gambling is one of the only addictions where a single click can produce a new low. Waking up to a drained account is not a character defect. It's the outcome the whole industry is optimized for.
Anxiety and gambling feed each other.
You gamble to escape the anxiety of the last session. The next session makes it worse. Breaking that loop is medical, not just moral — professional support is the standard of care, not a luxury.
Closing the door is a mental-health intervention.
Every therapist we've spoken to agrees on one thing: removing access is step zero. Self-exclusion doesn't fix the mind, but it stops the wound from being reopened every night. That's when real recovery begins.
From reading this page to a documented self-exclusion — in about 5 minutes.

- 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.
Before you start: identity, data, signature, delivery.
A quick, honest walkthrough of what GSE actually does with your information and what happens after a request is sent.
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.
