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.

Understanding Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a powerful, voluntary tool that allows you to take control of your gambling by temporarily or permanently closing your Parimatch account. Once activated, you cannot gamble, place bets, deposit funds, or access your account until the exclusion period ends.

Self-Exclusion Definition

Self-exclusion is a legally binding agreement between you and Parimatch where:

  • You voluntarily request account closure for a specified period
  • Your account is immediately suspended and inaccessible
  • You cannot place bets, gamble, or deposit funds
  • No promotional or marketing materials are sent to you
  • The decision is final and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period
  • After the period ends, your account may be reactivated if you wish

  • You’ve been losing more than you can afford

Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion Programs

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
  • Registration prevents you from using ANY UK operator
  • Covers online betting, casinos, poker, slots, bingo
  • Covers both websites and mobile apps
  • Single application blocks all operators simultaneously

GAMSTOP Self-Exclusion Duration:

  • 6 months (initial registration)
  • Can be extended to longer periods
  • Can become permanent after 6-month period

How to Register:

  • Visit www.gamstop.org.uk
  • Complete registration form
  • Provide personal details and identification
  • Choose exclusion period (6 months to permanent)
  • Confirmation sent via email
  • Effective immediately upon registration

GAMSTOP is Recommended For:

  • UK residents wanting protection across all operators
  • Those who struggled with multiple betting sites
  • Anyone needing comprehensive self-exclusion
  • Players wanting system-wide enforcement

Registration with GAMSTOP does NOT prevent Parimatch self-exclusion – you can use both simultaneously.

Other National Schemes

Europe:

  • ARGA (France) – Multi-operator self-exclusion
  • Oasis (Spain) – National Spanish scheme
  • Sistema Único de Límites (Spain) – Unified limits system

Other Regions:

  • Check your country’s gambling regulator website for national schemes
  • Most countries have at least one national or regional self-exclusion system
  • Using national schemes provides broader protection than single operator exclusion

Parimatch Cooperation:

Parimatch cooperates with all national self-exclusion schemes:

  • Respects GAMSTOP registrations
  • Recognizes multi-operator exclusions
  • Does not attempt to circumvent national schemes
  • Verifies self-exclusions upon account creation

Time limits restrict how long you can gamble in a single session.

Time Limit Options:

  • 15 minutes (very short break)
  • 30 minutes
  • 1 hour
  • 2 hours
  • 4 hours
  • 24 hours

FAQs – Parimatch Self-Exclusion

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.
