self exclusion Ladbrokes is a formal request to prevent access to gambling services for a chosen period. It is intended for people who need a stronger barrier than deposit limits or short time-outs.
What Is Self Exclusion?
Self-exclusion blocks an account and stops gambling access for a defined period. It may also restrict promotional messages and prevent new registration attempts using the same verified details. It is not the same as logging out, deleting an app or taking an informal break.
Choose self-exclusion when gambling is causing distress, repeated loss chasing, debt, secrecy or harm to work and relationships. Do not wait until every financial option has been exhausted.
How to Self Exclude on Ladbrokes
- Sign in only if doing so is safe, then open the safer gambling or account controls area.
- Select self-exclusion, or contact customer support and state clearly that you want the account excluded.
- Choose the available duration, which may include six months, one year, five years or permanent closure. Availability can vary.
- Confirm the request and save any confirmation email or reference number.
- Remove apps, unsubscribe from marketing and add broader blocking measures immediately.
Important
Do not attempt to bypass an exclusion by changing details or opening another account. Contact support if access remains possible after confirmation.
Third-Party Exclusion and Blocking Tools
UK residents can review GAMSTOP, which can restrict access to participating online gambling businesses. Device-level blocking tools and bank gambling blocks can add further barriers. Check each tool's coverage, fees and technical requirements before relying on it.
Ask banks or payment providers whether gambling transaction blocks are available. Remove saved payment methods, avoid gambling-related social media and ask a trusted person to support financial safeguards where appropriate.
Support Resources
GamCare provides confidential information and support. BeGambleAware offers guidance and routes to treatment services. Support can also be useful for family members affected by someone else's gambling.
If gambling is linked to severe distress, debt crisis or thoughts of self-harm, contact emergency or crisis support in your location immediately. Personal safety comes before account administration.
