autoexclusão (self-exclusion from gambling)
A gambling ban you place on yourself: you ask for your access to be blocked, and legal operators are obliged not to let you play. The register is kept by SRIJ, so the ban applies at once on all licensed sites, not just one.
Where you come across it. When betting has stopped being entertainment and has started eating up your money and time.
It only works on licensed sites: an unlicensed site does not check this register and will let you back in. Alongside self-exclusion, SRIJ runs a helpline, SOS Jogador.
