Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a tool that allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to your Mostbet account for a set period. If you feel that your gambling is becoming problematic or you wish to take a break, self-exclusion provides a binding way to prevent yourself from placing bets, making deposits, or accessing casino games. This page explains how self-exclusion works, your options, and the steps to activate it.
Self-Exclusion vs. Cool-Off and Time-Out
Self-exclusion, cool-off periods, and time-outs are distinct responsible gambling tools. A cool-off period (typically 24 hours to 7 days) is a temporary pause during which your account is locked, but you can reactivate it once the period ends. A time-out is similar—a short break you can request yourself. Self-exclusion, by contrast, is a longer-term, binding restriction that cannot be cancelled or shortened before the period expires. Once activated, your account remains closed and inaccessible for the full duration you have chosen.
Self-Exclusion Periods Available
Mostbet offers the following self-exclusion periods. You may choose any duration that suits your circumstances:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 1 month
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 2 years
- 3 years
- 5 years
- Permanent (lifetime)
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
You can activate self-exclusion through your Mostbet account or by contacting our support team. Follow the method that is most convenient for you.
Via Your Account (Online)
- Log in to your Mostbet account on most-bet.com.pk or the mobile app.
- Navigate to Settings or Account Settings (usually found in the menu or profile section).
- Select 'Responsible Gambling' or 'Self-Exclusion'.
- Choose your preferred self-exclusion period from the list.
- Review the terms and confirm your choice.
- Your account will be immediately locked and inaccessible.
Via Email
You may also request self-exclusion by emailing [email protected] with the subject line 'Self-Exclusion Request'. Include your account username, registered email address, and the duration you wish to exclude yourself (24 hours, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, or permanent). Our support team will process your request within 24 hours.
Via Live Chat or Phone
Contact our support team via live chat on the Mostbet website, by phone, or via Telegram. Our team is available 24/7 in English, Urdu, and Hindi. Inform the representative that you wish to self-exclude and specify your preferred duration. They will guide you through the process and confirm activation.
What Happens When Self-Exclusion Is Activated
Once your self-exclusion is active, the following restrictions apply immediately:
- Your account will be locked and you will not be able to log in.
- All deposit functionality will be disabled—you cannot add funds to your account.
- You will not be able to place any bets or play any casino games.
- You will not receive promotional emails, SMS, or push notifications from Mostbet.
- Any open bets will be settled according to their normal outcome; if you have unsettled bets at the time of exclusion, they will be resolved as usual.
- Your account balance will be retained and protected.
Handling Your Account Balance
If you have funds remaining in your Mostbet account when self-exclusion is activated, you have the right to request a withdrawal of your balance. To do so, contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat before or immediately after activating self-exclusion. Provide your verified payment method (the same method used for deposits), and we will process a refund of your remaining balance. Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours to your verified account. No fees are charged by Mostbet for this withdrawal.
Self-Exclusion Cannot Be Cancelled Early
A key principle of self-exclusion is that it is binding and cannot be reversed before the period expires. Once you have activated self-exclusion, you cannot request early cancellation, even if you change your mind. This protection is in place to help you maintain control and prevent impulsive decisions. If you have selected a temporary period (24 hours to 5 years), your account will automatically reopen at the end of that period. If you have selected permanent self-exclusion, your account will remain closed indefinitely unless you contact us after a substantial period to discuss reopening (subject to our review and compliance requirements).
Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion Registries
If you wish to exclude yourself from multiple gambling operators at once, you may register with national or regional self-exclusion schemes. These registries coordinate across licensed operators in your jurisdiction to enforce a single self-exclusion across many platforms.
- GamStop (United Kingdom)
- Registers self-exclusions across all UK-licensed online gambling operators. Visit www.gamstop.co.uk to register.
- CRUKS (Netherlands)
- The Dutch national registry for self-exclusion. Register at www.cruks.nl.
- ROFUS (Denmark)
- The Danish self-exclusion register. Register at www.rofus.dk.
- Spelpaus (Sweden)
- Swedish national self-exclusion scheme. Register at www.spelpaus.se.
- Other Jurisdictions
- Check with your local gambling regulator or authority for available multi-operator self-exclusion schemes in your country.
Mostbet respects registrations on these schemes and will honour self-exclusion requests from players who are registered on them. If you are registered on a multi-operator scheme, inform our support team so we can ensure your exclusion is properly recorded on our system.
Device-Level Blocking Tools
In addition to account-level self-exclusion, you may use third-party software tools that block access to gambling websites and apps at the device level. These tools work on your computer, smartphone, or tablet and prevent you from visiting gambling sites even if you attempt to bypass account restrictions. Popular device-level blockers include:
- Gamban — blocks access to gambling websites and apps on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.
- BetBlocker — a free tool that blocks gambling sites on your device.
- GamBlock — software that restricts access to gambling platforms on your computer.
These tools are independent of Mostbet and are managed by third-party organizations. Installing one of these blockers can provide an additional layer of protection if you are concerned about accessing gambling sites during your self-exclusion period or if you are in recovery.

Can I bypass or cancel my self-exclusion before the period ends?
No. Self-exclusion is binding and cannot be cancelled, shortened, or bypassed. This is a core protection built into responsible gambling policy. If you attempt to create a new account or access your account through unauthorized means, Mostbet's fraud and compliance team will detect and block such attempts. If you are struggling with the urge to gamble during your exclusion, please reach out to a support organization listed above.
What happens when my self-exclusion period ends?
When your self-exclusion period expires, your account will automatically be available to log in again. You will receive a notification (email or SMS) informing you that your exclusion has ended. You are under no obligation to use your account; if you wish to remain excluded, you may request a new self-exclusion period at any time. If you do decide to gamble again, please do so responsibly and within your means.
Can I extend my self-exclusion period?
Yes. If your current self-exclusion period is about to end and you wish to remain excluded, you may request an extension. Contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat to request an extended self-exclusion period. Alternatively, once your current period expires and your account becomes available, you may immediately activate a new self-exclusion for a longer duration.
Will self-exclusion affect my account permanently?
Self-exclusion is temporary unless you choose permanent exclusion. If you select a temporary period (24 hours to 5 years), your account will reopen automatically when the period ends. Your account history, balance (if any remains), and VIP status will be preserved. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will remain closed indefinitely. You may contact Mostbet after a significant period to discuss account reopening, but this is subject to our review and compliance assessment.
Can I create a new account while self-excluded?
No. If you are self-excluded from Mostbet, you should not attempt to create a new account. Our compliance systems are designed to detect and prevent multiple accounts from the same person. Creating a new account to circumvent self-exclusion violates our terms and may result in account closure, forfeiture of funds, and reporting to relevant authorities. Self-exclusion is a commitment to yourself; we encourage you to honour it.
Is my self-exclusion private?
Your self-exclusion is confidential and will not be shared with third parties except where required by law or regulatory authorities. Mostbet will not disclose your self-exclusion status to employers, family members, or other individuals without your explicit consent, unless compelled by legal process.
If you have questions about self-exclusion or need assistance, please contact Mostbet support at [email protected] or via live chat on the mostbet website. Our team is available 24/7 to help you take control of your gambling.
