Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a tool that allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to your Mostbet account for a set period. If you feel that your gambling is becoming problematic or you wish to take a break, self-exclusion provides a binding way to prevent yourself from placing bets, making deposits, or accessing casino and sportsbook services. This page explains how self-exclusion works, your options, and the steps to activate it.
Self-Exclusion vs. Cool-Off and Time-Out
Self-exclusion, cool-off, and time-out are three separate responsible gambling tools, each serving a different purpose. A cool-off period (typically 24 hours to 7 days) is a temporary pause during which your account is locked, but you can request to reactivate it before the period ends. A time-out is similar but may last longer (up to 6 months). Self-exclusion, by contrast, is a firm commitment: once activated, your account cannot be reopened until the exclusion period expires, and you cannot cancel or shorten it. Self-exclusion is designed for players who need a stronger safeguard against problem gambling.
Available Self-Exclusion Periods
When you choose to self-exclude, you can select from the following periods:
- 24 hours
- 7 days
- 1 month
- 3 months
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 2 years
- 3 years
- 5 years
- Permanent (lifetime exclusion)
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
You can activate self-exclusion through multiple methods. Choose whichever is most convenient for you.
Via Your Account (Recommended)
- Log in to your Mostbet account on mostbet.net.pk or the mobile app.
- Navigate to Settings or Account Settings (usually found in the menu or profile section).
- Select 'Responsible Gambling' or 'Self-Exclusion'.
- Choose your desired exclusion period from the list.
- Confirm your selection. You will be asked to verify your choice.
- Your account will be immediately locked and remain inaccessible for the duration you selected.
Via Email
If you prefer not to log in, you can request self-exclusion by emailing [email protected]. Include your full name, registered email address, account username, and the exclusion period you wish to activate. Our support team will process your request within 24 hours.
Via Live Chat or Support Channels
You can also contact our support team via live chat, Telegram, or phone (available 24/7). A support representative will guide you through the self-exclusion process and confirm your request.
What Happens After Self-Exclusion Is Activated
Once your self-exclusion is in effect, the following restrictions apply immediately:
- You cannot log in to your account or access any betting, casino, or sportsbook services.
- All deposit methods are blocked; you cannot fund your account.
- Any open bets or pending wagers will be settled according to their normal rules. Winning bets will be credited to your account balance.
- You will not receive promotional emails, SMS, push notifications, or marketing communications from Mostbet.
- Your account remains closed and inaccessible for the entire duration of your chosen period.
Your Account Balance and Funds
If you have a remaining balance in your account when self-exclusion is activated, you have the right to request a payout of those funds. To withdraw your balance, contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat with proof of your identity and the verified payment method on file. Payouts are processed within 24 hours to the original deposit method or a verified alternative account in your name. No fees are charged by Mostbet for this withdrawal.
Cancellation and Extension of Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled or shortened before the period expires. This is a key safeguard to protect you from making impulsive decisions. If you have activated a temporary self-exclusion (24 hours to 5 years), your account will automatically reopen once the period ends. If you wish to extend your self-exclusion before it expires, you may request an extension by contacting support; however, you cannot reduce the duration. If you have chosen permanent self-exclusion, your account will remain closed indefinitely unless you submit a formal written request to reactivate it after a minimum of 6 months, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Multi-Operator Self-Exclusion Registries
If you wish to exclude yourself from multiple gambling operators at once, you may register with national or regional self-exclusion schemes. These registries allow you to block access across many licensed operators simultaneously.
- Registry / Scheme
- Coverage
- GamStop
- United Kingdom and Isle of Man licensed operators
- CRUKS
- Netherlands-licensed operators
- ROFUS
- Denmark-licensed operators
- Oasis
- France-licensed operators
- Regional registries
- Other jurisdictions may have local self-exclusion schemes; check with your local gambling regulator
Mostbet respects registrations with these schemes. If you are registered with any of these multi-operator registries, you should not be able to open or maintain an account with us. If you believe you have been able to register despite being on a registry, please contact support immediately.
Device-Level Blocking Tools
In addition to account-based self-exclusion, you may use third-party software tools that block access to gambling websites and apps at the device level. These tools work independently of Mostbet and can provide an additional layer of protection.
- Gamban — blocks access to gambling sites and apps on your device; available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
- BetBlocker — a free tool that blocks gambling websites and provides support resources.
- GamBlock — software that restricts access to gambling content on your computer or mobile device.
These tools are independent of Mostbet and are managed by third-party organizations. Installing one of these blockers can help prevent you from accessing gambling services even if you attempt to circumvent your self-exclusion.

Can I bypass or cancel my self-exclusion early?
No. Self-exclusion is binding and cannot be cancelled or shortened before the period expires. This is a regulatory requirement and a core feature of responsible gambling. If you are tempted to circumvent your self-exclusion, we encourage you to reach out to a support organization or contact our support team for alternative help.
What happens when my self-exclusion period ends?
When your self-exclusion period expires, your account will automatically be reactivated. You will receive a notification (if you have opted in to communications) informing you that your account is now accessible. You can log in and resume play if you wish. However, you are not obligated to return; if you feel you still need a break, you can immediately activate a new self-exclusion period.
Can I extend my self-exclusion before it ends?
Yes. You can request to extend your self-exclusion by contacting [email protected] or our support team. You may extend your period to a longer duration, but you cannot shorten it. Extensions are processed immediately upon request.
Will I lose my account or loyalty points if I self-exclude?
Your account and any loyalty points or VIP status will be preserved during your self-exclusion period. Once your exclusion ends and your account is reactivated, you can access your points and resume your VIP tier status. However, you will not earn new points or benefits while excluded.
Can I open a new account with Mostbet if I am self-excluded?
No. Our systems are designed to prevent you from opening a new account while an active self-exclusion is in place on any existing account. If you attempt to register, our verification process will detect your self-exclusion and block the registration. This protection applies across all accounts associated with your identity.
How do I know my self-exclusion is active?
Once you activate self-exclusion, you will receive a confirmation message on screen and via email to your registered address. You can also contact support to confirm that your self-exclusion is in effect. When you attempt to log in, you will see a message stating that your account is excluded.
What if I need help before my self-exclusion ends?
If you are in crisis or need immediate support, please contact a problem gambling helpline or counseling service (see the Support and Help Organizations section above). Our support team can also provide you with resources and referrals. While we cannot reopen your account early, we can connect you with professional help.
Additional Responsible Gambling Tools
In addition to self-exclusion, Mostbet offers other responsible gambling features to help you manage your play. You can set deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits through your account settings. You can also enable reality checks, which remind you of how long you have been playing. These tools work alongside self-exclusion to provide comprehensive protection.
