Parimatch Self-Exclusion
Parimatch understands that gambling should be entertainment, never a financial burden or source of stress. Our self-exclusion program provides a powerful tool to take control of your gambling habits. Whether you need a temporary break or permanent account closure, self-exclusion is available immediately and at no cost.

In addition to Parimatch self-exclusion, national schemes provide broader protection.
GAMSTOP (UK & Isle of Man)
What is GAMSTOP?
GAMSTOP is the UK’s national self-exclusion scheme covering ALL UK-licensed gambling operators.
How It Works:
- Self-exclude from all UK-licensed gambling sites at once

- Covers both websites and mobile apps
- Single application blocks all operators simultaneously
GAMSTOP Self-Exclusion Duration:

- Can be extended to longer periods
- Can become permanent after 6-month period
How to Register:
- Visit www.gamstop.org.uk

What’s the difference between self-exclusion and cool-off?
Cool-off is temporary (24 hours to 6 weeks) and can be canceled before it ends. Self-exclusion is longer (temporary to permanent) and cannot be canceled once started. Both prevent access to gambling, but self-exclusion is more final and serious.
Can I shorten my self-exclusion period if I change my mind?
No. Self-exclusion period cannot be shortened once activated. If you activate 30-day self-exclusion, you must wait the full 30 days. This rule prevents impulsive decisions to end exclusion during weak moments. You can extend the period longer, but cannot reduce it.
What happens to my account balance during self-exclusion?
Your balance remains in your account, secure and untouched. You cannot access or withdraw funds during exclusion, but they’re protected. Once your exclusion period ends and you reactivate, you can withdraw your balance.
Can I create a new Parimatch account while self-excluded?
No. Creating a new account while self-excluded violates terms. If you attempt to open new account during exclusion, Parimatch will refuse registration. You must wait until exclusion period ends before creating any new account.
Will Parimatch still send me promotional emails during self-exclusion?
No. Upon self-exclusion, all promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications are immediately stopped. Parimatch will not send marketing materials during your exclusion period.
