Gambling self-exclusion, done properly.
Self-exclusion is a formal request to block yourself from a gambling operator. GSE sends verified, authorized self-exclusion requests to online casinos, sportsbooks and poker sites worldwide.
GSE documents authorized self-exclusion requests. Each operator decides acceptance under its own regulator — GSE does not guarantee exclusion or refunds.

The 4-step process

Electronically sign a document authorizing GSE to submit self-exclusion requests on your behalf.
- 3Requests are sent
GSE contacts every operator in scope with a legally-worded self-exclusion letter and stores an immutable audit record.

New operators discovered by our pipeline are automatically added under the same authorization.
Frequently asked questions
What is gambling self-exclusion?+
Self-exclusion is a voluntary, formal request asking a gambling operator to close your account and refuse to open new ones for a set period. Most regulated operators are legally required to honor it.
How is GSE different from GamStop, Spelpaus, ROFUS or CRUKS?+
Those are national schemes that only cover operators licensed in that country. GSE is global and works alongside them, extending your exclusion to operators outside those systems.
Do I need to prove my identity?+
Yes. To prevent abuse, GSE requires signed authorization before any request is sent — operators will not act on unverified requests.
Is self-exclusion permanent?+
It depends on the operator and jurisdiction. Options typically include 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime. GSE requests the longest available option by default.
Can operators refuse a self-exclusion request?+
In regulated markets, licensed operators are generally required to honor a verified request. Unregulated operators may not comply. GSE documents both outcomes.
