Everyone needs a break sometimes — and in betting, taking that break can be the healthiest decision you make. Self-exclusion is a voluntary way to block yourself from placing bets for a set period, giving you time and space to regain control. At MyWinners, we support responsible gambling and provide simple tools to help.

🛑 What Is Self-Exclusion?
Self-exclusion means removing access to your betting account temporarily or permanently. It’s not punishment — it’s a proactive step for anyone who feels their betting may be becoming harmful or overly stressful.
You can choose how long you want to exclude yourself, and during that time, your account will be restricted from logging in or making bets.

You’ll need to confirm your self-exclusion in writing by sending a signed letter stating the terms to which you wish to self-exclude.
Statewide Registries: In some states, you can register for exclusion from all legal betting sites and retail venues.
