Self Exclusion — Casino Blocker

Self Exclusion is a Chrome extension that helps you keep online casinos and betting sites out of reach when willpower dips. Built for people who want digital self-exclusion — not another “productivity” blocker you can dismiss in two clicks. WHAT IT DOES • Blocks 350,000+ casino, sportsbook, and gambling-related domains before pages load • Cool-down lock so turning protection off is not instant during an urge spike • Incognito / private-window setup guide (a common bypass path) • Optional anonymous usage data to improve shared blocklists • Blocked pages surface real helplines (for example 1-800-GAMBLER in the US) • Custom domain adds from the popup (prefilled from your current tab when possible) • Remote updates from getselfexclude.com so lists can improve over time WHO IT IS FOR • Anyone practicing self-exclusion from online gambling • People who want an extra browser layer on top of operator tools (GAMSTOP, casino self-exclusion, bank gambling blocks, and similar) HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Install Self Exclusion from the Chrome Web Store 2. Complete the short onboarding — especially “Allow in Incognito” 3. Leave protection on 4. Optional: open Settings to raise the cool-down delay or review privacy choices FEATURES IN MORE DETAIL Blocklists Packaged rules cover a large curated set of gambling hosts so protection works offline. When your browser can reach getselfexclude.com, the extension can pull updated packed rules so new mirrors and domains can be covered without waiting for a store release. Cool-down lock When you ask to disable protection, Self Exclusion can require a waiting period (for example 24 hours). The delay is intentional: urge spikes often pass if the “off switch” is not instant. Incognito guidance Private windows are a frequent escape hatch for browser blockers. Onboarding walks you through enabling the extension in Incognito so protection can span those windows when you choose to allow it. Help resources The blocked experience is designed to point you toward established help — not ads. If you are in crisis, contact a helpline directly. IMPORTANT Self Exclusion supports recovery; it does not replace it. If you need human help, contact a problem-gambling helpline first. In the US you can call 1-800-GAMBLER. This tool is free. No account is required to use blocking on your device. PRIVACY Usage data is off by default. If you opt in, we may receive anonymous install/uninstall signals, blocked-domain telemetry, and optional domain suggestions to improve the shared list. Details: https://getselfexclude.com/privacy/ LIMITATIONS • Browser-level blocking is one layer. Combine with operator self-exclusion, device restrictions, and professional support when needed. • Determined users may still find workarounds (other browsers, other devices, VPNs, new mirrors). Raise the cool-down, enable Incognito access, and keep other safeguards on. • Availability of specific helplines depends on your country.
