WHY SELF-EXCLUSION MIGHT WORK FOR YOU.
Self-exclusion is a tool that allows a person to request to be banned from either all Gaming Facilities or Event Wagering & Fantasy Sports Contests.
RELAPSE PREVENTION
KEEPING THE URGE AT BAY
Recovery from gambling harm doesn’t always follow a straight line. Slips and setbacks can happen, and they don’t mean failure. They’re a signal that additional support may be helpful.
Relapse prevention focuses on building tools, awareness, and support systems that help you recognize triggers, manage urges, and stay grounded during stressful moments. With the right resources in place, many people strengthen their recovery over time and feel more confident navigating challenges as they arise.
Ongoing support—whether through counseling, peer connection, or financial guidance—can make recovery more stable and sustainable. Help is available at every stage of the journey.
FOR FAMILIES
HELP FOR AFFECTED OTHERS
Gambling harm doesn’t only affect the person who gambles—it can impact partners, family members, friends, and caregivers in deeply personal ways. Stress, confusion, financial strain, and emotional exhaustion are common, and many affected others feel isolated or unsure where to turn.
Support for loved ones focuses on helping you understand gambling harm, set healthy boundaries, and take care of your own well-being. You don’t have to carry this alone, and you don’t have to have all the answers to seek help.
Confidential resources are available to support you—because your health, stability, and peace of mind matter too.
