Self Exclusion
SmartEXCLUSION
Helping You Take Control
SmartEXCLUSION is a multi-operator self-exclusion scheme designed to help individuals take a break from gambling by voluntarily excluding themselves from participating venues through a single registration process.
The scheme enables customers to register once and have their self-exclusion applied across participating operators within supported sectors.
How SmartEXCLUSION Works
Self-exclusion is a free service that allows you to request that gambling venues refuse you access to their premises and gambling facilities for a chosen period.
When you register:
- Your details are securely recorded.
- Participating venues are notified of your exclusion.
- Venues are provided with your image and name to allow them to positively identify excluders.
- Your exclusion remains active for the agreed period.
Sectors Supported
SmartEXCLUSION currently supports self-exclusion across participating operators within:
Adult Gaming Centres (AGCs)
Adult Gaming Centres offer a range of gaming machines and gambling facilities. You might recognise these are arcades.
