Limits, self-exclusion and voluntary bans: compare protections
A limit regulates an account; self-exclusion suspends access; the French voluntary ban covers several legal services. Always check the measure’s scope and confirmation.
Identify every relevant access point
Privately list accounts, venues, apps and promotional messages that make returning to gambling easier. Record each requested measure, date, status and confirmation reference. Do not send that list to this website.
A deposit setting addresses incoming money, not necessarily losses or time. Define the need before choosing the setting.
Separate account restrictions from the national scheme
Joueurs Info Service explains that French online self-exclusion applies to the requested site; repeat the request for other accounts. It is immediate and lasts between 24 hours and 12 months.
The voluntary ban covers casinos, gaming clubs, authorised sites and FDJ/PMU gambling with player accounts. It lasts at least three years and continues until lifting is requested.
Check implementation without placing a test bet
Keep confirmation, duration, scope and the official contact. A submitted request and a confirmed measure are different states. Report inconsistencies to the relevant service without a test stake.
Deleting apps or blocking messages reduces opportunities but does not establish account closure. Do not use a new access point to circumvent a protection.
Plan follow-up with support
These measures leave gaps, including illegal sites, and can be combined with appropriate support. The rules described here concern France regardless of the page language.
Practical suggestion: choose someone to contact when the urge returns and a date to review requests. Do not make protection depend on a refund or an expected win.
