Understanding exclusion options
Exclusion can create distance from gambling when a voluntary limit is not enough. Singapore’s options and application rules should be checked with the official source.
Find the right information
The National Council on Problem Gambling explains exclusion and visit-limit schemes, including who may apply and how they work. Read its current guidance rather than relying on a site’s summary.
- Check which activities and venues a measure covers.
- Understand when it begins and how long it lasts.
- Ask about support for family members if relevant.
Take a first step
If gambling is causing harm, pause immediately and contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline at 1800-6-668-668. A trusted person can help you follow through.
A practical check
Exclusion schemes cover defined activities; they may not cover every gambling site. Check the official NCPG description of scope and duration. Alongside an application, remove easy payment access and ask someone you trust to support the pause.
