Who can benefit from Self Exclusion?

A person who feels they have a problem with controlling their gambling expenditure should consider participating in a self exclusion scheme. The person may experience a strong urge to return to the gambling venue from time to time. They may be thinking about recovering gambling losses or have some other reason that gives them the urge to gamble. That urge can be very hard to resist. Self exclusion will assist them to resist the urge.
