Self-exclusion best practices for gambling operators

Self-exclusion varies greatly from one market to another. Different rules, systems, and levels of enforcement create gaps in player protection and make self-exclusion harder for operators to manage effectively. That's why self-exclusion standards matter. They help create more consistent protection for players while improving trust and supporting safer gambling efforts.

Building self-exclusion systems that work

This free course is designed for operators looking to translate self-exclusion best practices into action. It is based on the Recommended Code of Practice for online self-exclusion, developed by Dr. Margaret Carran and a team of responsible gambling specialists.

The course focuses on practical steps operators can apply immediately. You'll learn what effective self-exclusion should look like and explore a 30-day plan to help you review, improve, or create your self-exclusion system.

A multi-layered approach to self-exclusion

Self-exclusion works best when it's supported by other tools and services. That's why we collaborated with BetBlocker to explain how gambling-blocking tools can help prevent access to gambling websites and apps across multiple devices. You'll also learn why counseling, treatment services, and additional support help address the underlying causes of gambling harm.
