Can I Cancel a Self-Exclusion?
What to expect once a self-exclusion is set

The short answer is no: once a self-exclusion is in place, it is designed to stay until the period you chose comes to an end. That is intentional, and it is exactly what makes self-exclusion an effective protection.
Why it cannot be lifted early
When you self-exclude, you are making a decision to protect yourself for a set time. If that could be undone in a difficult moment, it would not offer real protection. For that reason, a self-exclusion generally cannot be shortened or cancelled before it ends. While it is active, gameplay and deposits stay blocked, though you can still withdraw your balance.

If you are finding things hard while excluded, please reach out: our guide on where to get problem gambling help lists organisations that offer free, confidential support, and our team is here too. The exclusion staying in place is there to help you, not to leave you without support.
What happens when it ends
It lifts automatically. When the period you chose is over, your account returns to normal without you needing to do anything.
