How does self-exclusion work?
At Casino1, playing should always be fun. That is why we provide simple and effective tools to help you stay in control.
Among these tools, self-exclusion is a key part of responsible gaming. It allows you to take a real break at the right time, without pressure.
What is self-exclusion?
Self-exclusion is a voluntary block of your access to Casino1 for a minimum of 6 months. During this entire period:
- You can't log in to your account at all.
- You can't play or make deposits.
- You can't cancel or shorten the duration once it has started.
This preventive measure gives you time to step back when you feel that gaming is taking up too much space. You stay in control, at your own pace.
How to activate self-exclusion at Casino1
It is quick and simple. Here is how to do it:
Log in to your Casino1 account.
Go to the responsible gaming settings.
Select the self-exclusion option.
Confirm your request. Your account will be immediately blocked for 6 months.
Note: at the end of the period, access is automatically reactivated. You don't need to do anything.
What's the difference between a break and self-exclusion?
Casino1 offers two types of tools if you want to suspend your activity:
Tool | Duration | Login possible? | Games and deposits accessible? |
|---|---|---|---|
Break | From 1 day to 2 weeks | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Self-exclusion | Minimum 6 months | ❌ No | ❌ No |
A break is designed for moments when you simply want to slow down for a few days. You can still log in to your account, check your history, and make withdrawals, but you will not be able to play or deposit during the selected period. Once the time is up, everything is automatically reactivated.
Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is for when you feel the need to cut off completely, with no option to change your mind. For 6 months, your account is fully blocked, with no access to the platform, no access to games of chance, and no access to any settings. It's a clean break, designed to help you regain perspective without the temptation to start a new session.
Self-exclusion: a useful tool if…
You feel that:
- You're losing control over your gaming time or budget.
- Gaming is causing stress or becoming compulsive.
- You simply want to take a serious break.
There's no shame in activating self-exclusion. On the contrary, it's a strong and responsible choice.
Other tools available
Alongside self-exclusion, you can also activate at any time:
- Deposit, stake, or loss limits. Want to know more about deposit limits and how they can help you stay on track? We explain everything in this article.
