How Voluntary Self-Exclusion Helps

Voluntary self-exclusion is a proactive program that allows individuals to remove themselves from gambling activities, such as purchasing lottery tickets or accessing online gambling platforms, for a set period of time. It is a self-initiated action designed to help those who feel they may be struggling with gambling habits regain control by restricting their access to gambling environments. Participants can choose the duration of their exclusion, and the program helps create a safer space for recovery by providing time away from gambling-related temptations.
