Self-Exclusion and How It Works
If gambling is affecting your well-being, self-exclusion can be an effective measure. Opting for self-exclusion means choosing to remove yourself from the gaming environment entirely for a period of time. This can be beneficial if you find that gambling is becoming more than just a form of entertainment and you need time to evaluate your relationship with it. During the self-exclusion period, you will not be able to access your GreatWin account or participate in any gaming activities, ensuring you have a genuine break to reassess and refocus.
How to Opt for Self-Exclusion
- Go to 'Account Settings' and select 'Responsible Gambling Tools'.
- Choose 'Self-Exclusion' and select the duration you feel is appropriate.
- Confirm your choice, and the exclusion period will commence immediately. Take this opportunity to engage in other fulfilling activities during your break.
Recognising the Warning Signs
Being conscious of the signs of problem gambling is crucial for maintaining a balanced approach towards gaming. Recognising these signs early can prevent gambling from becoming an unhealthy habit. Here are some common indicators that might suggest a problem:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than originally intended, often leading to financial difficulties.
- Feeling an unstoppable urge to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same sense of excitement.
- Experiencing restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling altogether.
- Using gambling as a method of escaping from personal issues or to alleviate feelings of helplessness, anxiety, or depression.
- Deceiving family and friends to hide the extent or nature of gambling activities, resulting in strained relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions
