Instead of blocking yourself from one site at a time, this tool allows you to ban yourself from every legal gambling site in the province simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-works\">How it works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tool creates a provincial-wide barrier to ensure your decision to stop is respected across the board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unified Database:<\/strong> When you register, your details are added to a provincial registry (such as the one managed by <strong>iGaming Ontario<\/strong>). All licensed operators use this list to identify excluded players.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Total Block:<\/strong> You will be barred from logging into existing accounts and prevented from creating new ones with any regulated operator in the province.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fixed Terms:<\/strong> You choose the length of your exclusion, typically <strong>6 months, 1 year, or 5 years<\/strong>. Once activated, this is a binding commitment that cannot be undone until the time has fully expired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-it-matters\">Why it matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This tool provides a powerful safety net. It removes the temptation to simply &#8220;switch sites&#8221; if you feel your gambling is becoming a problem. It ensures that the entire provincial gaming industry works together to protect your financial health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"faq-section\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-title\"><span>\u2753<\/span> Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n    \n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Can I exclude myself from just one site but stay on others?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            No. The <strong>Centralized Self-Exclusion<\/strong> program is an all-or-nothing provincial measure. If you only want to take a break from one specific platform, you should use a <strong>Time-Out or PlayBreak<\/strong> tool instead.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details>\n        <summary><h4>What happens if I try to sign up at a new site?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            During the registration process, the operator will check your details against the <strong>provincial registry<\/strong>. Because your <strong>ID and personal info<\/strong> are flagged, the system will automatically deny your application.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"faq-item\">\n        <summary><h4>Will I still receive marketing emails while excluded?<\/h4><\/summary>\n        <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n            No. Once you are on the <strong>Centralized Self-Exclusion<\/strong> list, operators are legally required to stop all <strong>marketing and promotional<\/strong> communications to you. This helps remove the &#8220;triggers&#8221; that might tempt you to return.\n        <\/div>\n    <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to stop gambling across all platforms?
