Welcome to SENSE

The National Self-Exclusion Scheme for the British Casino Industry

Do you want to take a break from casino gambling?

SENSE (Self Enrolment, National Self Exclusion) is the official national self-exclusion scheme covering ALL licensed, land-based casinos in Great Britain. If you want to take a break from gambling in a British casino, you can do so directly from this website by clicking the red button at the top of either this, or any, page. However, please read the guidance notes on our "how to enrol onto SENSE" page before doing so. Otherwise you can enrol by visiting a casino venue in person to complete the process with a manager.

You will then be excluded from every casino venue in the country.

This website provides all the information you need about SENSE, including how to remove yourself when the time comes and how to create an optional personal account to extend, renew and otherwise manage your self-exclusion before it expires. You can also find more detailed answers to any questions you may have via our Q&A page, accessible from the button below.

Do you need wider help or information about a gambling issue or self-exclusion from other forms of gambling?

Information can also be found on this website about the wider help and support available for people with gambling issues and also for concerned family members or friends. This includes details on how to self-exclude from other gambling sectors not covered by SENSE, such as online gambling, High Street machine arcades (AGCs), betting shops and bingo clubs. We strongly advise that you exclude yourself from all other forms of gambling that you may use, after enrolling onto SENSE.
