Self-exclusion covers all gambling companies
Self-exclusion via Spelpaus.se covers all gambling companies licensed in Sweden. It is not possible to exclude yourself from only a certain form of gambling or a certain gambling company.
Self-exclusion covers these forms of gambling:
- online casinos and online gambling machines,
- online betting,
- online bingo,
- online lotteries,
- token-gambling machines (so-called Vegas),
- gambling via gambling agents in shops and at racecourses (and similar).
Self-exclusion periods
You can choose to exclude yourself for 10 days or 1, 3, 6 months or until you decide otherwise. A self-exclusion for 10 days or 1, 3, 6 months ends automatically at the end of the self-exclusion period. If you choose to exclude yourself until you decide otherwise, you cannot end your self-exclusion until 12 months have passed. Otherwise your self-exclusion continues until you decide to end it. You cannot cancel or end a current self-exclusion. However, you can change your self-exclusion by replacing it with a new one, but it can never be shorter than the time remaining on your current exclusion.
Confirm your self-exclusion with or without e-identification
You confirm your self-exclusion with your e-identification. If you do not have an e-identification, you can manage your self-exclusion using a special form. (Link to form)
Log out from all gambling
For your self-exclusion to be effective everywhere, you must log out from the gambling websites and apps you use. One tip is to clear the cookies from your browser. This automatically logs you out from all websites.
A self-exclusion cannot be cancelled
You cannot cancel or end a self-exclusion before the date you choose.
Change a current self-exclusion
You can change your self-exclusion by replacing it with a new one, but it can never be shorter than the time remaining on your current exclusion.
The gambling companies have to cross-check Spelpaus.se
A gambling company licensed in Sweden has to cross-check with Spelpaus.se every time you try to register with or log in to that gambling company.
The gambling companies have to cross-check Spelpaus.se before they send you any marketing. This is because they must not send marketing or advertising directly to a self-excluded person.
