Self-exclusion is a formal commitment to stop gambling for a defined period or permanently. If gambling on a crypto betting platform like 1Win has stopped being entertainment and started causing harm, self-exclusion is the most effective tool available to you. This page explains how it works and what to do.
1Win Self Exclusion: What It Means
When you self-exclude from 1Win, you are requesting that your account be closed and access blocked. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or place bets. Any remaining balance at the time of exclusion will be returned to you, subject to verification checks.
Self-exclusion is not the same as a temporary cool-off. A cool-off can last between 24 hours and 30 days and can be reversed. A self-exclusion is a serious, longer-term commitment — typically a minimum of 6 months and up to permanent exclusion.
How to Self-Exclude from 1Win
- Log into your 1Win account.
- Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gambling.
- Select Self-Exclusion.
- Choose your exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent.
- Confirm your request. Your account will be blocked immediately.
If you are unable to access your account to complete this process, contact 1Win support directly via live chat or email and request self-exclusion. Under responsible gambling regulations, operators must process such requests promptly.
Third-Party Blocking Tools
Self-excluding from one platform is a strong first step, but determined problem gamblers often find other platforms. Third-party blocking software closes this gap by blocking all gambling websites across your devices:
- Gamban — blocks thousands of gambling sites and apps across all devices for a subscription fee. Considered the most comprehensive solution available.
- GAMSTOP (UK only) — free national self-exclusion scheme covering all UK-licensed operators.
- BetFilter — free gambling blocker for desktop and mobile devices.
- Browser extensions — tools like "Block Site" allow you to manually block gambling domains in your browser.
What Happens After Self-Exclusion
After self-exclusion, 1Win is required to close your account, suppress your marketing preferences, and not contact you with promotional materials. If the platform contacts you with offers during your exclusion period, you have the right to make a formal complaint.
At the end of your exclusion period, re-opening your account requires a deliberate re-application process — it is not automatic. This gives you a clear pause point to reassess whether you want to resume gambling.
Support During and After Exclusion
Self-exclusion is most effective when combined with professional support. Reach out to these organisations:
- Gamblers Anonymous: www.gamblersanonymous.org
- GamCare: www.gamcare.org.uk
- iCall (India): 9152987821
