What Other Support Is Available?
If you are experiencing gambling problems, please be aware that GAMCARE provides confidential information, advice, and support. Their expert team is available 24/7 to offer guidance tailored to your needs, whether it’s understanding wagering requirements or managing your gaming habits. Additionally, GAMCARE can connect you with local support groups, therapists, and financial advisors to help you regain control.

Can I Extend My Exclusion For Longer Than Six Months?
Yes, you may extend your minimum exclusion for up to one year, either at the time that you enrol or at any time during either your six-month minimum period or subsequent “cooling off” period. This flexibility allows you to tailor the self-exclusion period to match your personal needs. Whether you’re navigating the world of progressive jackpots or just want a break from the action, you have the autonomy to adjust your exclusion timeline to ensure your peace of mind.
How Long Will My Exclusion Last?
Once enrolled onto SENSE, your self-exclusion will remain in place for a minimum period of six months (unless extended, as mentioned). During this period, you won’t be able to access casino floors, live dealer games, or any gambling activities under the SENSE agreement. This mandated break can be an essential step in re-evaluating your wagering habits and ensuring a healthier engagement with gambling in the future.
What Is SENSE?
Firstly, please ensure that you have read and understood the SENSE Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. SENSE, or Self-Enrolment National Self-Exclusion, is a UK initiative aimed at helping individuals manage their gambling habits effectively. By participating in SENSE, you agree to be excluded from all participating British casinos, giving you a powerful tool to control your exposure to gambling environments. This program is designed to support responsible gaming by offering players an easy route to self-regulate their gambling activities.
Can I Also Self-Exclude From Other Forms Of Gambling?
If you wish to exclude yourself from other forms of gambling (online, bookmakers, bingo, or arcades), you will need to apply to each relevant multi-operator self-exclusion scheme individually. Each sector, from online slots with high RTPs to physical bookmakers, has its exclusion protocols. Ensuring that you enrol in the appropriate schemes is vital for a comprehensive approach to managing your gambling habits across all platforms.
