}How to self-exclude from gambling in a country: the official national scheme (e.g. GAMSTOP in the UK, OASIS in Germany, RGIAJ in Spain, ANJ in France, Brazil's federal platform), what it covers, its terms, and the official sign-up link. Self-exclusion is free and can't be undone during a craving. Use when someone wants to stop themselves gambling, close their betting accounts, or block licensed operators.
